Thank you Cathi,

however, what I'm looking for is a server-side solution. So I cannot have a Windows Form... or can I? ... I did this trick many years ago with VB6 to build a winsock activex component. There was no winsock class available... only a winsock control.

So I built a VB Class that was starting an invisible form with the winsock control on it. My class wrapped this form to benefit from the winsock control features...

Would it be possible to do the same in .NET? Since the form would be invisible on my server, do you think taking a snapshot of the form would be possible?

Best Regards,
Alex
