I am building a peice of software that needs to allow a user to take a screenshot of his/her computer which will then be uploaded to a web server.
What technology should I use? I don’t think js has access to the appropriate resources, but would like to keep it browser based. Help?
nope … javascript won’t work …
you need some lib which takes a screenshot and another one which does the upload.
in .net there are builtin libs for both (taking screenshots, upload via ftp)
edit:
choose a technology which is able to create a screenshot and post it to an external resource via
POST(or upload it viaFTP). therefore you will need some access to local file-system … well … what would you think if you, as a novice, get prompted to allow access to local-filesystem (or network-resources)?edit2:
as far as i know, silverlights support taking screenshots … and there would be some ftp/post action included as well ..
