[Background Info]
I created 2 programs (a Scheduler and Viewer) to create and maintain schedules to be displayed on large screen monitor for staff members. (42" and 52" screens). The viewer program auto scales and looks great on the larger screens however due to network configuration/drive share problems I need to try to create a way to display the schedule on a webpage.
I've been working on drawing the form to a bmp file and having a simple webpage display the image and refresh every so often to catch the changes.
[Problem]
I'm using bitblt to draw to a bmp file which works great however it creates a image at 1280x977 (my res minus the start bar space). When that imaged is stretched onto a 52" screen the image becomes unreadable.
[Question]
Is there a way to take a higher resolution image of a form so i can stretch it with out a loss of quality?
or
Is there a better way that I could easily push the schedule to a webpage from with in a vb.net program?
[Notes]
I've been learning VB.net on my own for about a year now and have little to no exp with creating WebPages. I know about enough to display an image full screen and reload the page every X seconds![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Any helps, suggestions, or ideas on how to approach this would be great!
Thanks in advance
