Hello all!
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. But how would you
control a windows application from a server. So from the server, basicly
running the same application, except it has extra options like to change
forms on the client application, without the client application having any
control over that. Bith computers would be on a intranet network. I don't
even know where to beging to look for this. A point in the right direction
would be great!!!

Thanks!!!

You could start by reading up on Remoting.NET. Amazon has lots of good
remoting.net books.

Eg. "Microsoft .NET REMOTING" by Scott McLean, James Naftel, Kim Williams.

"Advanced .NET Remoting" by Ingo Rammer is an excellent book.

I you should only buy one book, I would recomend Ingo's book.

There are a lot of architectural choices to be made... perhaps too many for
this forum.

I strongly suggest that you get the help of a local systems architect or
hire the services of an architect through an online moonlighting service.
Otherwise, you may run into some serious difficulties.

Questions you need to answer:
a) what if the network connection is down?
b) can the client run without the server?
c) how should the client be notified of server control?
d) can data be entered on the server? if so, should it appear on the
client?
e) are there tools in existence (other than the .net framework) that you can
leverage? Office 2003? Smart clients?
f) are there back-end systems involved in the mix? Is this a silo app? If
so, why?
