Hi,<br />
<br />
You might want to look at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.pipes.pipestream.aspx" rel="ugc">PipeStream</a>, this might form part of a solution for reading from an uncompleted stream.

Have you looked into the NetworkStream class? Might be the way to go.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I trying to stream the contents of a picturebox over the network to another machine to be displayed. The picture box to be streamed is displaying image content in real time from a biometric device.<br />
<br />
My first thought was to continually load the picturebox contents into a stream and send the stream to the other machine, where it can then convert that stream back to image data and display it. Does this sound feasible for what im trying to do? Would the overheads in loading the content into a stream continually be to much?<br />
<br />
Any help/advice regarding this is appreciated.<br />
Regards

Hi,

Stream Contents of a Picture Box Over TCP

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
