Display IO on other computer

Question

I have created small bits of software for others but I'm not the best at it so there are problems. I want to create an IO program that lets me run things on their computer (to help me workout the problem) while the IO is on my screen. Ideally I would like the program to be running on there computer but I can see and operate the IO.

does anyone know how I should best go about this?

Are you going to write the programs that executes in both computers or do you need to write a program that will allow you to see any program executing on the other computer from your computer? If you only need to see from your computer the results of a program you wrote that is executing on the other computer, then do you need a graphics solution or is it sufficient to just use text, such as in a console program? The level of complexity of what you are asking for ranges from simple to immense. If you only need text and you will write the software for both ends, then that is reasonable. If you need graphics at both ends (a GUI; a form) then that would be complicated to do but it could be done. It will likely require a few months for you to write since you will learn a lot in the process. If you need to see everything executing in the other system(s) then that would be so complex and advanced that you should assume it is impossible. Anyone that is capable of writing software such as that can make a lot of money from it. It requires advanced knowledge and experience with Windows and programming using C++; you cannot do all of it using C#. Actually, if you only need to see what is executing in another computer but you do not need to do anything in that other computer, then you might be able to do that.
