I would like to build a web conferencing application but need a place to start. If anyone has any links for some documentation, please let me know. Thanks!
You really cant accomplish this under the standard ASP.NET model. ASP.NET is connectionless (actually most things that run through the browser are) -
An avenue I've explorered for getting this done at one point was Flash. It has built in features for streaming, persistant connections, video, and full motion...etc.
Another way would be to tie into the WMP codec's and write a server side listening service, and an ActiveX control that could get this done.
Probably the way I'd get started would be to work on getting chat / video input from a single user and updating a server in realtime, then find a way to make that information available to a distributed system somehow that you could invite other users into.
I was thinking somehow I could tie into RDP that would update a web service with AJAX.. I have already developed the chat feature using AJAX. Its not perfect but works with multiple users.
presenter logs into website and installs activeX control for RDP. The webpage feeds video through RDP to the webservice that feeds the other clients
The only problem is the documentation that I have found so far is very limited. Do you think this is possible?
