Yeh, I know that .NET isn't really great for the job, but C++ is still on my TODO list.

Anyways, what do you think?

Nice job ;), looks good :).

You can eventually remove the window borders and make your own.

Yeah, did some research on that.
Seemed like an unfun thing to do :/

Consider using C++ and SDL, SDL is very powerfull and fast and can (perhaps with a GUI library) make GUI's :p.

I think that you should share your program so we can see what's inside of it.

And what's all about C++, why you should program a launcher in C++? I mean... What's so bad about .NET. It's only a launcher, it's not a 3d application.

Only use XML if you really need to - it's only a way to transport data from one source to another, direct server communication is almost always faster :smile:

Nice li'll program you wrote there, why don't you share the source with the rest of us as well? :icon6:

Because he's new programmer and he thinks that the think that he programmed is something really good... Well maybe it's good, but TBH I can make it in 5 mins, not in VB.NET tho... :)

When you share your code you'll face other's opinions :p, which most (new) programmers can't handle :p. But it's really worth it ;), especially if some specialists tell you how to optimize ;)

Indeed. I mean... Many things are done bu hardest or oldest way that can be done in one single line. Belive me, we don't want to steal your program or something... =))
