Application that grows
-
Hi, I need to develop an application where the which is very dependant on the application being able to grow as new features, requirements etc are released or introduced. That is the application once it detects that a new feature is available, it acquires only that feature and glues it to the current application. (The new version of icq seems to do this with its 'add more features' option) I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how this can be achieved. i.e. what technologies and how are they used to enable an application to grow with new features introduced, and how the "new feature" is able to glue on to the main application? Thanks in advance, Tariq Ayad Regards, Tariq

If you are using .Net have look at the second last .Net show - not the current PDC one. Alternatively get a copy of the "Gang of Four" Design pattern book listed on this site and take what you need from there. There's even a relatively simple VB pattern implementation on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndevgen/html/desipat.asp Al When a man goes on a date he wonders if he is going to get lucky.
