I have an application running on a Remote Desktop Server, that is used by lots of different clients on different sites. &nbsp;To make things a little more secure, we are going to set it so users login to a VPN first and then the Remote Desktop. &nbsp;I was thinking of writing a small C# application to control this and provide clients with an installer, that they run on each machine. &nbsp;The settings will be entered into the application - and off they go (hopefully).<br />
<br />
I'm only just getting to grips with c# and want to know if c#/.net will allow me to do this - with a pretty basic knowledge.<br />

<ul>
<li>Enter / store settings for VPN and RDP login</li>
<li>Login to VPN</li>
<li>If successful, login to RDP</li>
<li>Disconnect from VPN when RDP is disconnected.</li>

Create a secure logon to a RDP server via VPN

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).

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
