I'm looking for .net code that will stream my desktop over the internet, to a web page, where do i start?

It's not really possible since .NET has no equivalent of Java applets. The closest thing is VNC which allows you to stream your desktop to a web page with a Java applet.

The issue here is not about the client side that receives the stream, how about making the desktop stream become a windows media streaming file, that way i can use flash or WM player to receive that stream, the main questino is how to i get my desktop to become a streaming source, Windows Media server allows to stream live from a camera, i dont think it can stream your desktop, so i'm looking for that bridge.

Thanks

Windows Media Encoder may be able to stream the desktop: I don't have it installed right now, so I can't find out for sure. It can stream, though, and it can use the desktop as a streaming source.

I'm not sure how you'd use it through .Net, though.

This is the direction to take, thanks much.

I also heard of a software which will capture your entire screen and record it in Flash format, that you can play at your webpage. (It's not a "Live" one, through)

You might also found it interesting to study too, although the origional source requires Python to run.

I was looking for a live one, thanks anyway

Yes it does. You can run .NET UserControls within Internet Explorer since the .NET 1.1 and 2.0 runtimes install a plugin that acts as a managed code host, just like any Java applet.

Just google for "dotnetlets" (or something similar) and you'll find the relevant instructions.
