Instead of passing so much information over the net, and slowing things down as they get bigger - more complex, create a CODED list of images. Then instead of sending "Whatever the item is" you send a value that equals that image.
If SentValue = 564 then ThisValue = 564
Lookup ThisValue
or better yet simply
ThisValue = SentValue
Lookup ThisValue
or even better still -
If you create a shared database, then both computers can simply lookup the CURRENT value on the database.
then there is no communications to the other computer(s), just a shared database on one of the computers, or on a server.
If you don't understand all of this, use the Absolute Beginners Guide to Programming that is available in VB 2005 express, it covers a lot of things quite well.
