    2 questions

    Okay, the first question is more of a debate breaker. Is there much
    difference programming wise between Windows 2000 and Windows XP? As
    far as my experiance, outside of a few API's and a new GUI shell, that
    there's no difference, so one can use VB6 and build on an XP box and
    run on a 2K box. Just a side question.

    The real meat of my search is AppDomains. I have searched far and
    wide and still have a few blank spots to fill. Here's what I'm after:

    I have my main assembly in the main AppDomain. I have my plugins that
    I want to load into a seperate AppDomain and run them there. Then,
    when there's an update to one of the plugins, I just have to unload
    the second AppDomain, reload the new plugins, and I have my assembly
    updated without having to shut it down. This is mainly for system
    services, but maybe even for WinForms.

    I have found how to call a function in a class using a string
    perameter, so I'm thinking along those lines.

    Thanks,
    Tibby

    Tibby,

    There may not been any difference when you are programming for a computer
    that full suports Net.

    The only limitations can be the hardware or installed extra software that
    you use in your program.

    You cannot use a webcam when there is no webcam connected. This is the same
    for software in it. When there is no IIS at all you can as well not use
    webapplications ..

    However that has in my opinion nothing to do with programming, that has to
    do with using features from a computer.

    For the webcam problem can a mirror maybe help a little bit, if it is in the
    case only to display the user

    Just my thought,

    Cor.

      Cute, true but cute. I didn't think there was, even when programming
      from a MFC standpoint because there really isn't all that much
      difference between 2K and XP. SO, with that settled, on to the second
      question, which is the more important one :) Still goggling my heart
      out...
