    .Net Screen Savers

    I have created a screen saver using VB.Net but cannot find any articles or
    examples on how to write the code for the /p parameter (display in dialog
    preview window). All the .Net exmaples I have found skip this functionality
    and simply put, this requires advance threading and is beyond the scope of
    this example.

    Can anyone please give me an answer to this or at least give me a link to
    where I can find this information.

      .Net Screen Savers

      If you don't mind me asking on your thread...what
      examples have you found so far for screen savers?

      I want to build a screen saver as well. Got any good
      links to examples?

              I just read an article on planet source code that says the SCR file format
              is nothing more than a renamed EXE.

              basically, the screen saver I found was a .NET executable with a picturebox
              that just filled the bounds and was a borderless form...
