The code should be easily understandable due to an object oriented approach.
possible use of this project:
- as a basis for rfb-protocol enhancement experiments
- discovering the .NET Framework
VNC
VNC is a remote display system, which allows the user to access the desktop of a
remote machine with a VNC-Client. The user can work with this machine, as if it
it sitting in front of it.
For this to work on the remote machine a VNC-server is running, which communicates
with the client using the RFB Protocol.
The RFB Protocol is a simple protocol. The server sends the framebuffer content to the client, the client informs the server about events (mouse, keyboard) and progress (inform server when ready to receive next update).
