MajorSilenceConnect is a basic replacement for ultravnc single click that uses the regular ultravnc server winvnc.exe. I find that this works much better on Windows Vista/7. Requires .NET 2.0. Currently this project only supports the port forwarding setup (does not support repeater mode) because that is all I need. It should be simple enough to add repeater support if it is ever needed. How compile MajorSilenceConnect Source code You need Visual Studio C# 2008. In the resources/helpdesk.xml you will find:

<helpdesk>
    <support>Support 1</support>
    <address>localhost:5500</address>
  </helpdesk>

<support> is what shows in the gui that the client will double click. <address> is the address/port that it will attempt to connect to. http://www.chunkvnc.com/ - for a solution with repeater mode and OSX support. http://uvnc.com/ - UltraVNC http://madebits.com/netz/ - .NET exe compressor

Read the chapter “The Template Method Pattern”. Had a hard time concentrating on this chapter.

To quote the book: “Define the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses. Redefine the steps in an algorithm without changing the algorithm’s structure.” Design Patterns Explained chapter 18 page 283.

Since I believe in its current state DeVeDe will never run as good on Windows as it does on Linux I have decided to write a small clone of the DeVeDe dvd module using .NET.

I am creating an IronPython port of DeVeDe. Progress can be tracked from:

I am currently planning on keeping the IronPython port of DeVeDe in sync with the main DeVeDe. I also still plan on packaging the main DeVeDe for Windows.

The IronPython port should have less problems with communicating with the underlying backed applications (IronPython has support for asynchronous sub-process communication built-in) and translations should work again.
