Netmeeting API and DotNet |
|
|
I have a distributed application that I will need to provide support which
will include desktop sharing so we can provide one-on-one tutoring,
uploading fixes and checking that the MS patches, ets have been installed,
and as well provide training to several users at one time. I am using
Windows 2003 and XP. We want to include the ability for a user to call for
assistance from within the applicaiton. The application will be developed in
DotNet 1.1 and upgraded to 2.0 next year.
1. Is Netmeeting the MS product to use? What problems are there using
Netmeeting API with DotNet?
2. We will need the functionality of Netmeeting. Is there an alternative MS
product to Netmeeting?
Thanks.

I don't know if there are specific problems but NetMeeting SDK/APIs haven't
really changed in 6 years and as NetMeeting is being retired will not be
changed or upgraded so I would suspect that you might encounter difficulty
and if you do have no recourse.

What functionality do you need from NetMeeting?
There is nothing from Microsoft (or anywhere afaik) that duplicates all the
functionality of NetMeeting nor is there anything planned ( though there
could be some Longhorn based functionality that is lurking that I am
unaware of).
NetMeeting functionality has been spread out in Msn Messenger, Microsoft
Office Communicator(from I can tell the name for a coming version of
Windows Messenger) and LiveMeeting (a Microsoft over the web pay per use
Webex type service).
There are a number of Microsoft Resarch projects that provide NetMeeting
like functionality (Portrait, Conference XP) as well but I have heard of no
plans for them to become more mainstream.

As well as the stuff Brian suggested, you might want to investigate
the "Remote Assistance" facilities, particularly in XP (though it
doesn't work too well with windows 2000).
I think you may need windows messenger (*not* MSN messenger) installed
to use it. But it allows you to remote control the desktop and take
some useful actions from a distance, including viewing what the user
is clicking, where their mouse is and what they're typing.
Cheers - Neil
