I would like to make a remote desktop connection app in vb.net. Sorry for not being clear.

This (Remote desktop application in VB.net) should get you started. It looks relatively easy - I assume you're using WinForms. You should really provide more detailed information in the future. Hope this helps!

Thanks. What would the server, domain, username, and password be? Thanks again.

"Server" would be the address of the computer you want to connect to. "Domain" would be the domain of the user (this would be the computer you are connecting to, if you want to use a local user). "Username" would be the username you wish to connect as. "Password" would be the password of the user that you wish to connect as. Hope this helps. Without knowing the exact details of your situation, I can't give you exact values, but this should be enough to get you going. If you have ever used Windows' built-in RDC client, these should be familiar.

Thanks Very Much. I will try it out as soon as I get time.

Could you mark my answer as accepted so I can get credit for it? Thanks!

I just tried it out and put the name of the computer for server, WORKGROUP for the domain, since we are on a workgroup, me for username, and me for password. When I ran it, it didn't do anything. any suggestions greatly appreciated. also, how do I "accept" an answer? im kind of new here. Thanks I was able to get a remote desktop app that you can control the users computer, but the screen is all sideways and messed up, is there a way to fix that? It is using the AXrdpViewer. also, is there a way to make it to where I can disable being able to control the computer? I have tried putting a form over it, but that didn't work Here is the code for the client:

Imports RDPCOMAPILib
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Public Class Form1
Dim x As New RDPSession
Dim clientSocket As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient()
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream
Dim readData As String
Dim infiniteCounter As Integer
Dim a As String
Dim b As String
Dim drag As Boolean
Dim mousex As Integer
Dim mousey As Integer
Private Sub Incoming(ByVal Guest As Object)
Dim MyGuest As IRDPSRAPIAttendee = Guest
MyGuest.ControlLevel = CTRL_LEVEL.CTRL_LEVEL_INTERACTIVE
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim strHostName As String

    strHostName = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName()
    a = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName(strHostName).AddressList(0).ToString()
    b = 'Username

    readData = "Conected to Chat Server ..."
    clientSocket.Connect("IP ADDRESS", 8888)
    'Label1.Text = "Client Socket Program - Server Connected ..."
    serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream()

    Dim outStream As Byte() = \_
    System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(b + "$")
    serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length)
    serverStream.Flush()
    AddHandler x.OnAttendeeConnected, AddressOf Incoming
    x.Open()
    Dim Invitation As IRDPSRAPIInvitation = x.Invitations.CreateInvitation("Trial", "MyGroup", "", 10)
    outStream = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("V" + "$")
    serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length)
    outStream = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("V" + Invitation.ConnectionString + "$")
    serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length)
End Sub

End Class

Here's is the code for the Viewer:

Imports System.Net.Sockets

Public Class Form1
Dim c
