Windows 表单应用程序在 Windows 托管服务上运行

Question

I've created a Windows Forms application that basically contains an HttpListener which launch a Form for each request. I have to show forms server side because I have to take a snapshot of what it's shown on the screen to send it to the client. I've also made a asp.net web application in which I show those images sent from the HttpListener who act as a server. Everything works fine on my machine but now that I must deploy it on my company's website I dont know how to do it, anyone has a solution? I haven't remote control on server, I can just upload files inside using FTP. What if I create a page inside my web application to launch the exe file? Any suggestion is really welcome!

I'm definitely no OpenGL expert but I believe that its possible to use OpenGL to render a scene without displaying it to a screen. Some preliminary research indicates that "pbuffers" allow you to render an image to a texture (which would presumably then allow for programatic access).

Can i save an OpenGL scene as an image without showing it?

Note that using OpenGL probably depends on the server machine having a suitable graphics card. As most servers don't come with very capable graphics card (some servers don't come with any graphics card) this is definitely something that you should check beforehand.
