Thanks, this should help a lot. You must just be a a better searcher than I. I'll let you see the finished project, if you want. Probably won't be done (to completion) until about late April though... There is no knowledge that is not power. - Mortal Kombat

OpenGL doesn't remote well. 2nd I wouldn't recommend installing OpenGL into a Unix box unless you have full control over that box, A) I doubt it is possible without root access and B) it's not for the faint hearted. MartyExodus wrote: If I can gain to draw and move bitmaps on the screen it will be enough. That definitely sounds simple enough to be an X-windows job. http://trolltech.com/products/qt[^] will let you use Xwindows as a front-end and they have some bitmap manipulation routines as well as 2D drawing. OpenGL will take you beyond that stage into 3D textured environments multi-frame rendering and complex 3D shapes with rotations. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Ever tried this?

Ha ha, thanks. I feel dumb. And, Expressions "allows" codebehind, but doesn't "support" it. Now that I know there's a Visual Web Developer Express... I'm off to go find it!

Well, the security is not an issue. Whatever the method I try to utilize, my account has Administrator rights on all of the target computers....... but perhaps I can work on the "Install a Program" idea. Can anyone teach me about making a pushing services? I only know how to Start and Stop them remotely. edit: Actually, i found a great tutorial on how to make basic services.

But, isn't there a way to use 2.0 code in 1.1 assemblies? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

MartyExodus wrote: Is there any way I can import the functionality from .NET 2.0 Sure! 1- First install DotNet 2.0 on your machine. 2- Then add a reference to your project. Choose browse. 3- Browse to the DotNet 2.0 folder -I believe it's under "windows\system32"-. and choose the assembly you want to reference. 4- In your case the assembly should be "System.Net.NetworkInformation.dll". PS. If you do this then DotNet 2.0 should also be installed on the user's machine. Regards:rose:

Ha. Thanks. I can use that with System.IO.DriveInfo to get what I need. That's what I love about CodeProject... response within a half hour. ------------------------ using System.People; Person me = new Person(); me.Certifications = null; me.Experience = little; me.WantsToLearn = true; me.InSchool = true; me.AskQuestions("C# .NET 2003");
