Introduction

.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.

In addition, I have the following in my mind when I write .NET VNC Viewer:

Requirements

It works on the following devices:

It may or may not work on previous versions of .NET Framework.

Installation

Just copy the exe to a directory on your device and execute from there.

Usage

Most of the time it should be pretty straight forward, but there are some features that are not so obvious.

To exit full screen mode on a desktop, "tap-and-hold" your right mouse button. A context menu will appear that let you go back to window mode. To exit full screen mode on a Pocket PC, tap-and-hold on the touch screen. After the dot goes around the big circle once, release your stylus and the context menu will popup (if it goes around the big circle twice a right mouse click is sent to the server). To exit full screen mode on a Smartphone, "tap-and-hold" soft key 2.

To enter letters on a Smartphone, press "*" on your keypad. A textbox will show at the lower right corner and you can enter letters as well as the arrow keys, backspace, enter, etc. The textbox will dismiss itself automatically after idle for several seconds.
