Hello.

This is my latest program its a customizable patcher which mean you can edit about, download, version and patch nodes. which means there is no code required at all

Edit the xml file to setup the patcher
There is an external program called "XML File.exe" Run that to setup the patcher information that is required

why couldn't you just put all that data in a single XML file or something like that?
it would be easier to edit/update and keep track of instead of having to edit " 7 " different files just do to a simple program patch.
plus you could make an editor that would make updating the "Patcher" alot easier and faster.

if you are interested in giving my idea a try, i will be more the happy to help you with it.

awesome!
ok later this weekend after i get some work complete on another project i will create a simple XML reader app so you can have an example. i will try to make it as simple as possible and leave in alot of note to help you understand what is happening in the code behind. maybe you can learn something new.

XML is awesome to use in VB.NET software.
plus it is so easy once you wrap your brain around it.
