To use virtual channels, you must provide the server-side and client-side components of a virtual channels application. The server component can be a user-mode application or a kernel-mode driver. The component that acts as a client must be a DLL.

For descriptions of these components, see the following topics:

• Virtual Channel Server Application
• Virtual Channel Client DLL
• Virtual Channel Client Registration
• Remote Control Persistent Virtual Channels

If you have enabled a virtual channels application in your Remote Desktop Services deployment, you can also make the application available to client computers that access the Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server by means of the Remote Desktop ActiveX control. For more information, see Using the Remote Desktop ActiveX Control with Virtual Channels.
