Results from a multi-million dollar research grant on flatulence. Farts smell so deaf people can enjoy them, too. And, 87% of the people who smelt it, dealt it.

The software does save changes automatically in the drawing which would be local in this case and then I would have it save the drawing to the server every 20 minutes. I did find a msdn topic on services http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zt39148a(v=vs.80).aspx[^] I think I may be on to something and I am testing it out. The reading of articles and implementing this is a bit like herding cats at the moment.

Hello, I recently finished a C# course and I'm ready to create what could be a complex program, to me at least. The idea I have is to monitor a cad application that runs on the users machine and work on a design file locally but save it to the server every x number of minutes. Users currently work on the files on a blade server that backups are mediocre at best, a network running at 100 and not gigabit. After reading a few articles here on C# threads and processes I now have a few questions. Can C# monitor when the application starts\ends via the task manager and get the file path and name so I can then do a time\date compare with the version on the server vs. the one on the local machine? Anything to consider C# wise if a second instance of the application is started? They would be two different drawings and the task manager does show two applications and processes running. Can this be set as a service to launch, or what would be the best way to implement this once a user logs on to the machine to catch the start of the application? Should the FileSystemWatcher or EventHandler reduce the complexity? Any input or guides to an example already existing is appreciated. Or should I just stay with the "Hello World" example in the book? :doh: Thanks!

I am not sure if you are a member of the Bentley communities but there is a specific programming forum that can address these questions with the developers and other users. I am just starting to learn C# and use both CP and Bentley sites for help. http://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_programming/w/microstation_v8i_programming_wiki/default.aspx[^]
