Hi,

The only requirement to access an asp.net web application (if not web service) from client PC is a browser like IE, Firefox etc. You don't need to install Oracle client at client PCs. If asp.net application and Oracle database are running different servers, you need to install Oracle client in the server where the asp.net application is running.

If the application is a desktop application (Windows Forms), you need to install Oracle client at client PC along with installation of that application.

Mark this thread Solved if your question is answered.

Look into the Adobe Flex open source framework.

Adobe Flex is a software development kit released by Adobe Systems for the development and deployment of cross-platform rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash platform. It is simply a library of components that are used to develop applications using Adobe’s flash runtime.

Refer these links for more details.

Try the following code.

Create the a module 'Module1' and use the following code.

Module Module1
    Private Print_Image As Image
    Declare Auto Function BitBlt Lib "GDI32.DLL" ( _
                  ByVal hdcDest As IntPtr, _
                  ByVal nXDest As Integer, _
                  ByVal nYDest As Integer, _
                  ByVal nWidth As Integer, _
                  ByVal nHeight As Integer, _
                  ByVal hdcSrc As IntPtr, _
                  ByVal nXSrc As Integer, _
                  ByVal nYSrc As Integer, _
                  ByVal dwRop As Int32) As Boolean
