.NET VNC Viewer / News: Recent posts

.NET VNC Viewer is a VNC viewer written entirely in C#. It is binary compatible with Smartphones, Pocket PCs and Windows desktops (with .NET Compact Framework or .NET Framework). I write this mainly because other VNC viewers on Pocket PC do not do full screen and screen rotation.

-Implemented listen mode.
-Added an option for Smartphone users to turn off mouse acceleration.
-Added an option for Smartphone users to choose the mouse speed after turning off mouse acceleration.

I patched .NET VNC Viewer 1.0.0 to utilize hi-res (640x480) screens of some Windows Mobile 2003 SE devices. Get a copy at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128549 and try it out if you have one of those lovely Pocket PCs. Please note that there is no custom logic to detect a hi-res screen, so the UI may not be pretty but it should work (at least on my emulator it does).

The project web has been put in production. The address is http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net.

Screenshots have been removed. They will be posted on the project web later.

Some screenshots of .NET VNC Viewer 1.0.0 are now available at the Screenshots section at http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=128549. More will be posted at the project web.

This is the first public release of .NET VNC Viewer. Both source and binary can be downloaded at the Files section at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128549. The source can also be obtained by CVS.

The project web page and screenshots are not ready yet.
