.Net Screen Savers - Visual Basic .NET

Shawn Mehaffie

I have created a screen saver using VB.Net but cannot find any articles or
examples on how to write the code for the /p parameter (display in dialog
preview window). All the .Net exmaples I have found skip this functionality
and simply put, this requires advance threading and is beyond the scope of
this example.

Can anyone please give me an answer to this or at least give me a link to
where I can find this information.

I just read an article on planet source code that says the SCR file format
is nothing more than a renamed EXE.

basically, the screen saver I found was a .NET executable with a picturebox
that just filled the bounds and was a borderless form...
