    Hi, I usually reads a lot of documents specifying up time on applications but this was a new on for me. In an ongoing project they have specified that the application, when finished, should have at least 99.95% down time. Makes me question why they are doing the project... ;)

    Come on then, how will you guarantee no more 43 seconds runtime per day AND ensure all the other functionality is available?

        Man! You are going to have to work hard on that...have you considered a splash screen that takes 23 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds to finish loading, then close your app down 44 seconds later? But hard on the users though...they better learn to type real fast.

          Could it be Task application? just synchronizing stuff for 44 secs every day?

          if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

            But it needs to be functionally complete...

              Oh, that project already made. they called it Vista...

              I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

                    This requirement is common in financial industry, service web sites, etc. But you don't usually agree on software but on service (SLA). 99.95% availability means you can be down 1.5 days per year. That's a lot of hours. Imagine Facebook doing that ( or Apollo 11 :~ ). If your company took the assignment it means they are either pretty sure of their capabilities or ... :suss:
