Silverlight 5 browser based RDP Client

Question

Hi All,

        Can you please let me know if there is any already existing sl4/5 based RDP client is there for silverlight? or alteast can you please give me a hint on how to do that.

   Actually at present I have already done something similar using a htmlplaceholder and running the rdp activex on top of it. Which gives the impression that the rdp client is running directly on top of sl. But I want something more native to SL and not an activex control running on a htmlplaceholder.

Hi All,

       I am still waiting for any reply. Is there any silverlight native solution available for RDP client? 

Meanwhile, I found out that there is a port of linux rdesktop command in java called properJavaRDP. Though the project itself is pretty old. I think the only way now is to convert this code into .net/silverlight. 

  Is there any better way to do this?

Hi,

First, you can embed the RDP into the webpage like this:

For Silverlight, I don't think so.

Here is a similar thread:

Hi Jerry,

         First of all thanks a lot for your reply. If you read my first post in the thread, I have already done rdp activex embedding the same way described in your first link. And it did definitely worked. But I don't want to go with Activex. I want something native to Silverlight.
