I am developing a online channel (Microsoft Center Edition) to sell large
movie clips to users. I intend to let the public to download the whole movie
clip instead of streaming. However, we face a problem in the download
technology. If I provide the movie file (wmv) and let the end user download,
a file dialog will be prompt out. A drawback is that the dialog will become
fullscreen and the user can hardly select the destination folder by remote
control. So I am sourcing some workarounds to this issue. I have looked into
the case of BITS technology which is supported by Windows XP accompany with
ActiveX control. However BITS only provide API for Microsoft VS.NET and
activeX control is an obselete technology in Microsoft VS.NET (Though ActiveX
control can be developed in VB6.0) So it seems impossible to merge the two
technologies together. Does anyone got experience or advice in this? Many
thanks!
