Well the antonym for contraction would be expansion - but I like the idea of altering con-traction and changing it to dis-traction - there's a certain logic there

Looks like "Expansion" is the word. I was leaning in that direction, and it appears others agree.
Thanks and Happy Sunday -

Hi all,
I'm starting a new project here and I mean from scratch! I'm using Visual Studio. I was thinking of setting up several different projects within the solution because they'd then all be exes and I could update by overwriting other exes while the main program is still running. But I'm not sure if that's the right way of going about things.
What's the best way for me to set up my project so that I can update my users in the future while the program is still running? Is it DLLs I want to use? Or what? Thanks!

Hi,
DLL files won't really help, since they get loaded and locked by the running EXE, so you cannot just hot-swap them.
IMO the simplest scheme is having two EXE files:
- APP.EXE + its DLL files = the actual application;
- LAUNCH.EXE = a very simple EXE that launches APP.EXE, or updates the APP.EXE file. You must keep this one simple, since it will not be able to replace itself. And it should not use any of the app's DLL files.
You might consider making it reciprocal, i.e. also teach APP.EXE how to replace LAUNCH.EXE; however this creates the risk that, when something goes wrong, both EXE files become useless.

That sounds like a very good idea. I was hoping that folks could download updates and apply them without having to exit the program. I guess if there's some way that App could start up the Launch app and then close itself and then the Launch app would relaunch the app, that might work. Could get me into a loop though.... I should definitely think about this one.
Any ideas or thoughts?
And thanks for your answer!!!!

Hi,
i did something quite some time ago.
i used just one .EXE... if i found one update on the web server i download it to a temp file then i create a batchfile. that renames the files... i run the batchfile and close my application... i use a timeout command on the batch file that way i'm sure the time the user presses a key on the batch file window or the timeout expires my main application windows is already closed....

If I can help, I will. However you first need to explain what you need help with.

Ok, but can you stop telling me what you want to do and explain why you can't do it? In other words, what is the problem that you need help with? Which is what I have asked you like 3 times now.

Oh, you don't want to program yourself, you just want someone to create code for you?
Do you also need someone to polish your shoes?

In four attempts you still have not provided even the smallest amount of information about the programming problem you are having. How long did you think it would be until you irritated someone?

Thanks a lot

Hi,
Your problem is that on the subcategory you need one more field
you need
Categories
ID
Category
SubCategories
ID
Category
SubCategory
You should use the ER Model always that it is possible and that requires a unique identifier per table... for me this is the easiest way to do it!!!
Your queries should be some like
For the Categories
SELECT * FROM Categories
For the subcategories
SELECT * FROM SubCategories WHERE Category = 'YOUR CATEGORY ID'
This way you retrive all the sub categories for that specific Category...
with no offense but Sometimes i dont understand what kind of work is this people doing to so this basic questions! i believe that you should buy a book and understant the whole concept about databases before trying to do this kind of job

hi,
How to automatically click Ok button in MessageBox?
After the message show.
Without click OK button by user. Will OK button fire automatically?
Ex:
MessageBox.Show( "Welcome", MessageBoxButtons.OK );
Thanks,
Raja

Hi,
MessageBox does not have a time-out. You can solve this in many ways:
1.
launch a timer, when it expires, find the window handle, then either send a close message, or locate the OK button and send a click message.
2.
much easier: create your own messagebox class, and provide a built-in time-out with a timer that simply closes this form.
