To convert the other posters answer into English... No, it's not considered "good practice". It breaks certain OOP standards and makes your code harder to read. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

LastAccessTime indicates when the file was last read, not when last written. You probably want LastWriteTime. To stop the file system constantly writing the last access time, by default it updates once an hour. See Optimizing NTFS Performance[^] (from the XP Resource Kit) for more details. You can apply a registry setting[^] to disable the Last Access Time updates completely. It sounds as if this has been done on the PCs you're testing with. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Correct. As long as u dont change the remote object's interface u wont need to update anything on the client side. If ur referencing the remote object in ur client application, I would suggest u create a interface and make the remote object implement it, and then make all client calls through the interface.

I pushed enter to go to a new line but instead it posted the page (not the first time this has happened either). Yeah i did have a question but I figured it out. I also went and deleted my post straight away after I realized what I had done - dont know why it is still here though - just one of those days I guess.

Its easy if what I've understood is what u are trying. All console outputs must be implemented in the romote object, not the server. The remote object lives in the server side, so anytime one of its methods is called from the client side, the console output will show on the host side. Hope this is what u were looking for.

The simple Answer is YES. ActiveX created by Visual C++ present in vs.net 2003 doesnot use CLR by default. So, no need of .NET framework. STUCK           STUCK           STUCK           STUCK Stuck to Programming through an unbreakable bond :( My Articles | My Blog

Very easy.. replace delegate with anything you need using System; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { /// /// Summary description for Class1. /// class Class1 { /// /// The main entry point for the application. /// [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += new EventHandler(CurrentDomain_ProcessExit); // // TODO: Add code to start application here // } private static void CurrentDomain\_ProcessExit(object sender, EventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine("Bye"); } } } - Drew

Anybody??

Another option that comes to mind is using a ContextMenu. For example this could be displayed after right-clicking your TextBox and contain the MenuItem "Clear Date". After clicking the MenuItem the TextBox is cleared. Never you really worked with ContextMenus so I can give no further help. But I think it's worth a try and shouldn't be that complicated:) www.troschuetz.de

great it works. Thanks for the help.

Nope, not possible to use ASP.NET that way. I remember seeing a web site that promoted embedding only part of the framework in your application, but I could not find a link. If that is possible, then you could make a smaller distribution.
