Program Auto-Updated
-
I'm trying to create a launcher program that will automatically update files for another program and then launch that updated program. The launcher and the main app have already been created as seperate VS .Net projects(.exe). My question is would it be possible to build the main app as a dll, reference it in the other project and then have the launcher update the dll and launch it? Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Code first, ask questions later. ;P

Hm. This provides the same sort of functionality I'm looking for, but since I've already wrote the auto-updater I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to integrate two projects so one can open the other. Both are .exes right now, I would like the internal problem to be a .dll.

What you want to do is called "late binding". Search on that term and you will find several articles.
