Web Application using VB.NET

Hi everyone,

I am a newbee in the .NET world. Please guide me ??

Scenario: I have a master computer, say, m1 in cityA. I have other client
PCs in seperate cities, say, cityB, cityC and cityD. Now I have stores at
the three mentioned client sites.

I want to develop a web application using VB.NET, so that I can sitting at
m1, watch over my stores in the three cities using webcams etc.

Please tell me how to go about it.

Thanking in Anticipation

To get the discussion going, one possible solution, provided you have WAN
access to the store computers would be:

1. For each store computer, have the webcam or video device take a snapshot
and save that image to the HD on a time interval such as every 5 seconds

2. From the server computer, create an HTML file that references the images
on the store computers and does a refresh every 5 seconds:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT='5'>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<img src='\\store1\monitor\current.jpg'><br>
<img src='\\store2\monitor\current.jpg'>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Another option if you do not have WAN access to the stores is to transfer
the images from the client computers to the server through FTP, WebServices,
or some other means. You can then display the images directly from the
server.

HTH,
