Introduction
Multi RDP Client .NET (formerly known as Multi Remote Desktop Client .NET) comes on handy when managing your RDP connections. A simple and friendly user interface for you to work and navigate easily through tabbed RDP remote window. Allows you to Import/Export .RDP files, Disconnect all connection at one click and Connect all your servers at one click as well. You can also change the resolution while working, set the window into fullscreen mode,&and as well as enable window stretching and a lot more features!&
&.&&.&&.&&.&&.&&
Background
Thanks to AxInterop.MSTSCLib (mstscax.dll) an ActiveX COM Component which you can use to connect on &Remote Desktop. So, I made a GUI for it for you to connect on your servers via terminal service on multiple window view in one application. How to use MSTSCAX.DLL?&
You must have the ActiveX file in your system called &mstscax.dll&.
if not, then you can Google for the file and download it, then make sure you registered it using &RegSvr32 &. I think that's one of the IIS package if you installed the Remote Desktop Web Connection.
On the UI Design mode in VS2005 or 8.
go to your toolbox and Open Choose Toolbox Items and look for Microsoft RDP Client Control in COM Components tab.
I'm guessing you successfully added that control in your toolbar. So I don't think I have to explain how to get that in your Form.&
&.&&.&&.&&.&&.&&
Screenshots&
Server list views
Server panel which lists the RDP servers in group name view. It can also be shown in different views such as: Tree, Small lists, and Large lists.
Collapse/Expand
Server panel can also be resize its width, expand, and collapse so you can have more space for you RDP window.
Group Manager
A Group manager can be used to manage the type of servers.
Import RDP File
One main feature of MRDC.NET is you can import the RDP files created on default Remote Desktop Connection Windows client
Export RDP File
You can also export the RDP files to .RDP format.
Configuration
Configuration window. Here you can setup your startup password and UI display

Client Window&&
Connect, Disconnect, and Reconnect: This Connects, Disconnects, or Reconnects your RD connection.
Fullscreen: Sets the RD connection to Fullscreen. It can also ask you to resize the Resolution based on your Desktop Resolution&
Fit To Window: The RD resolution can change based on the RD client window
Fit to Window&
Settings: Opens the server settings&
Info Popup Window
This window automatically popups when hovered on the control showing a description of what the control can do.&
I do give a lot of credits to the People who shared their Ideas, Custom Control, and Codes.
Credits can be found in my About Window
&.&&.&&.&&.&&.&&
Code Snippets&
A simple example code &on RDP connection to remote desktop.&
Well the basic code you need to know for you to connect on your server is this&
rdpClient.Server = "sever name here";
rdpClient.UserName = "your username on remote pc";
rdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.ClearTextPassword = "you password on remote pc";
rdpClient.ColorDepth = 16; rdpClient.DesktopWidth = 1024; rdpClient.DesktopHeight = 768; rdpClient.FullScreen = true| rdpClient.Connect();
The code above is the&simplest&way of using the component&
Setting full screen in runtime is fairly simple&
rdpClient.Fullscreen = true;
rdpClient.AdvanceSettings3.SmartSizing = true;
Points of interest about connection and disconnection
I implemented a Reconnect feature. But its not easy as calling Disconnect() and Connect().
You should wait until it properly disconnected and call Connect().&
In AxMsRdpClient, there is a Connect property which acts as a Connection Status:&
1 = Connected&
0 = Disconnected&
Now reconnecting can be done by doing this:
rdpClient.Disconnect();
while (rdpClient.Connected != 0)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
Application.DoEvents();
You can always implement your own way of reconnecting, the code above is just the very basic, I do not recommend you to use that.&

We also have DataProtection class which was provided by Microsoft and a little bit of modification and some methods to implement such as converting Byte[] & to & Hex blob. We could create a MSTSC valid password.&

Now I have created a wrapper called DataProtectionForRDPWrapper to easily Encrypt and Decrypt RDP password CREATED in DataProtection class. Why did I emphasize the &created& word. Some limitation on DataProtection class is, we can't decrypt the password created by MSTSC and still under research.&

Release History
June 24, 2015
- Uploaded the code in GitHub
---- Solution updated to Visual Studio 2013
---- Using latest version of SQLite (NuGet)

- Fixed Server Lists collapse bug when no MDI Child
- Fixed LiveInfoWindow from stealing the focus.
- Fixed database exception in Import Window.
- Group Manager window, redesigned to fit on MRDC.NET layout.
- Updated database schema.
---- Groups table uid is set to auto-increment.
Full Release - April 4, 2009 UPDATE:

- Fixed database scheme
- MSTSC Generated password can now be decrypted!
- Fixed domain name, not saving
Full Release / April 3
- Fixed stupid RDP Control Focus issue
Full Release / April 2
NEW: - From the requests of Simon Capewell and shmulyeng - Simon Capewell Requests:
--- DONE(4)1. Allow connection to servers on a specific port using AdvancedSettings2.RDPPort
--- DONE(6)2. More screen resolutions on the slider - most obviously
--- DONE(1)3. Context menu on the list of servers.
--- DONE(4)4. Options for different icon sizes for the list of servers.
--- DONE(8)5. Groupings for servers - handy if you have lots of clients
each of whom have multiple servers. You could launch sessions for all the items in the group.
--- DONE(1)6. Auto hide or view menu option to show/hide the sidebar (similar to Visual Studio).
--- DONE(0)7. Clicking Delete Server or Edit Settings when there are no servers throws an exception.
--- Here's another one that's just occurred. I use Launchy to index a directory with a load of .rdp files in it,
which means I can just type Ctrl+space then a portion of the server name and launch it. To do that with this tool it'd need to:
--- DONE(9)1. Be able to launch a connection from the built in server list from the command line.
--- DONE(9)2. Have a command line switch to open the connection in an existing instance of the app.
--- DONE(9)3. Perhaps even be able to launch connections from the command line
using rdp files rather than the built in server list.
- shmulyeng requests:
--- DONE(2)Ability to password protect the server list.
--- DONE(1)Ability to right click on a connection item in the list to edit connection details.
--- (WILL TRY) Ability to log out of a connection rather than disconnect.
--- DONE(1)One thing I like about Palantir is the tabs of open connections.
- and I added some
- CAPTCHA verfication on startup password.
--- When an incorrrect password is entered 3x, CAPTCH verification panel will show up.
--- scrap XML!! :P
- The last release was pretty much stable so there's a small updates on the code and some bug fix.
Alpha Release - 6, & 7 / March 19, 2009

- LiveInformationBox 1.0
--- Is a class library that pops up whenever you hover on a specified
control and shows some details about what the controls can do.
--- The information shown on information box is an xml base.
--- this is better than showing some information on a status strip :P
- ListViewEx
--- hooks some control (not just common control) to disable/enable if
listview has no item or when a selectio is made on listview items.
--- good for automating controls instead of doing tons of lines just to disable/enable different controls.
- Am using SQLite3 now instead of XML! :P
---- it's taking too much time to maintain :P
- Finally it's working on both OS, thanks to that AxImp and thanks to @unruledboy
