Hello, You shouldn't access the Images and Lanes allways over the index ([i] or [i][j-1]). Do it once and hold the reference as long as you need it. This can also be a performance improfement. All the best, Martin

It's done also with the Process.Start method but with an overload form of it. Basically you must start the application you desire(in your case mspaint.exe) and specify the name of the file you wish to open as a runtime parameter for mspaint.exe. I've done this once. If I find the code snippet, I'll post it later.

What was working is now not! I'm not exactly sure where the problem resides, but after I built my installer, and installed the application on my PC everything seemed to be fine. Then when I click the log file to analyze, it keeps opening back up using notepad. So I went to Open With.., and browsed to my .exe, and checked the option to always open files with this extention. When I double click the file now I get a critical error stating that the LOG file I double clicked and it's path is not a valid Win32 Application. How do I reset the target so that when I click the log file, it uses my .exe as the application?

If I were to use a seperate application to grab a copy of this file (using File.Copy), would there be a chance the two applications would collide, while trying to perform operations on the same file? Assuming the stream writer has only locked the file for write operations (i.e. read operations are still allowed), then there should be no problem with the other application using File.Copy. It is essentially only reading the file. cmarcus wrote: Or is the File.Copy method independant of whether the file is in use.. meaning I'd get the most recent copy from the last stream writer update? It will get the version that was last updated by stream writer as a result of flushing the buffer.
