That's funny, I'm working on an IRC client too.... - Jason (SonorkID 100.611) The Code Project - Orange makes the art grow fonder

Aeru IRC is a simple irc client I started from nothing without using extern librairies to implant IRC Protocol. I'm using Magic Library for the GUI and soon Utility Library. You can use Visual Studio .NET or SharpDevelop. You can help me by adding features, fix bugs and refactoring the core(IRCConnection and IRCParser) Currently I'm the only developping Aeru IRC and I got one artist.

In UNIX, in order to have the program put itself in the background, it needs to fork a child process. True system daemons are double-forked. The first fork puts the program in the background, the second fork isolates itself from the current process group (e.g., a user's session). However, Windows has never supported the concept of fork(), so it would be surprising to see it in .NET. It appears that Mono is closely following the .NET SDK to make sure that Mono (.NET) programs are cross-platform, but in case there is a concept of fork() within Mono, go with that. For a 100% pure .NET cross-platform program, I'd suggest you take a peek at System.Diagnostics.Process.

A delegate purely a pointer to a method. Shock The Dark Mage wrote: AeruIRC.MainForm.AddingChannelTab addingchannel = new AeruIRC.MainForm.AddingChannelTab(m_parent.AddTabPage2); That is not correct! You will be creatign a new form every time! You should be doing a cast instead. Cheers :) DBHelper - SQL Stored Procedure Wrapper & Typed DataSet Generator for .NET
