Text based GUI

Hi all!

I´m supposed to develop a text based application with .net 2005 and
C#.
Users shall connect to my app via Citrix, using windows CE 5.0.

Any thoughts about how to do this? Should I develop it as a Console
appliation?

I must be able to control the font size on the text I´m writing that
should be visible to the user.

Cheers!

Control of font size should already tell you that a console app isn't a
possible solution. Does Citrix set the desktop size correctly? (Remote
Desktop does)

If so you just need to size your application according to the desktop screen
area.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for youre answer!

I will probably go for the console application. I will use different
colors to increase visibility rather than larger fonts (which you
mentioned dont work).

I think Citrix will set the desktop size, but I´m not sure. I will
test that out during the week.

Again, thanks for answering.

Best regards
Martin
