About

RemoteControl is a modular system designed to perform remote desktop control, screen capturing, or similar operations.
The project includes the following submodules:

• RemoteControl.CaptureService
• RemoteControl.IntermediateServer
• RemoteControl.Shared
• RemoteControl.WindowsClient

This architecture separates the client, server, and intermediate layers, allowing them to operate independently.

Architecture / Components

Module	Role / Description
CaptureService	Handles screen capture, compression, and encoding operations
IntermediateServer	Acts as a relay server managing communication between clients and servers
Shared	Contains common data models, protocols, and helper classes
WindowsClient	Windows client application — includes the user interface and control logic

The data communication protocol is defined mainly in the Shared project via model and message structures.

Features

• Screen capture and frame transmission
• Real-time control commands and interaction
• Modular, layered architecture
• Abstracted client ↔ server communication protocol (easily replaceable)
• Windows client application (GUI)

Setup & Run

To run the project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mguler/RemoteControl.git
   

2. Open the solution file (RemoteControl.sln) in an IDE (e.g., Visual Studio)

3. Restore all required NuGet packages

4. Set startup projects:

   • IntermediateServer — server role
   • CaptureService — screen capture service
   • WindowsClient — client user interface

5. Run each project (first the server, then the service, and finally the client)

6. Connect to the server from the client interface and start control

Note: Connection settings (IP, port, etc.) may be defined in configuration files. Update them as needed.

Usage Example

Example usage flow:

1. Run the server application.
2. Start the CaptureService and establish a connection to the server.
3. Open the WindowsClient, enter the server’s IP and port information.
4. Click the “Connect” button — the client will start receiving the screen feed and sending control commands.
