Add Unix Support

WHR — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 04:45:26 -0000

I port this program to Mono by modify some codes, here is a screenshot that shows .NET VNC Viewer running on my GNU/Linux system with the Mono runtime.

The code of "static App()" (App.cs:76) should be replace like this:

    static App() {
        // This ensures that we can run on either .NET Compact Framework, .NET Framework, Mono.
        String fullAppName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase;
        bool file_prefix = fullAppName.StartsWith("file://");
        if(file_prefix) {
            // Is Windows Desktop or Unix
            // Now, skipping off the "file://" prefix.
            fullAppName = fullAppName.Substring(7);
        }
        String fullAppPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(fullAppName);
        if(file_prefix && fullAppPath.StartsWith("\\")) {
            // Is Windows Desktop
            fullAppPath = fullAppPath.Substring(1);
        }

        SettingsFileName = Path.Combine(fullAppPath, "settings.xml");
        ConnHistFileName = Path.Combine(fullAppPath, "history.xml");
    }

The .NET VNC Viewer is work well on Linux, Windows CE and Windows Desktop; I hope this change will be included in the next release version.

Linux/Mono support

Fernando Munoz — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:52:23 -0000

I've just tried this on Mono, to be able to compile it I had to add this snip of code after line 88 of App.cs:

if(SettingsFileName.StartsWith("file:/"))

SettingsFileName = SettingsFileName.Substring(5);

if(ConnHistFileName.StartsWith("file:/"))

ConnHistFileName = ConnHistFileName.Substring(5);

Paths in linux use / instead of \ as separator, so the previous check doesn't remove the file: string from the path. I'm no C# expert, but after this it worked!

Better mouse updates, hide cursor

Zilo — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 08:35:16 -0000

Hi,

first of all thank you for this project, it's working and that's very important :). I want to use a VNC client in my application and so I was looking for a C# implementation. This one is working, although when I looked closely at the code, it's not meant to be used as a component, so I had to rewrite it :) . I've optimized the Render mechanism, greatly optimized ReadRawRect(Rectangle rect) (replaced Bitmap.Setpixel with something much faster) , so if you're interested I can share that to you (contact me via email).

To my request:

1. I would like to have smoother mouse pointer moving (I'm interested only in DT solution). I know it's not a matter of rendering, it's matter of sending mouse movement updates to server. Can you help me with that?

2. I would like to optionally disable mouse rendering (on server) and just get updates about Cursor type from server (to apply it on client, so mouse movement would look perfectly smooth).
