Is there a way that anyone knows to force a vb.net program to shut down
and then restart itself?

Perhaps one way is to write a windows service which checks for the existance
of the application and if it is not running, starts it, this way you only
have to close your application in order for it to restart.

Hi,
Use process.start to start a new instance of the program before you
kill the old instance.

Ok, I see what you are all saying. This is the problem.
Lets say I have a monitor in a program that downloads an update. It is a
self extracting exe file.
I need to shut down the program, send the update, and then restart the
program.
Has anyone does this before or something close to it?

You cant re-start a program from itself. You have to rely on another
process, so I think there are three things you need to do.
Have a service which is running permenently which does the following thing
each cycle.
Check a flag to see if program is to be run
If Yes, run a Bootstrap program
BootStrap
----------
Check for updates, install them if needed
Completes any other action determined by the flag file.
Starts the Main program
Main Program
--------------
Provide options for File | Exit , File | Restart

My program can, when directed, check a floppy for updates, verify the MD5

I figure if I call the program's main class, it will run, but then I'll have

Hi all,
The code below is a practical exercise and works well running in the debug
environment but fails when being compiled for a release build. I believe
this is because the debug environment takes care of memory allocation and
the release build relies on code to do this. My research in my books and on
the web has not provided any great help.
I would be grateful for advice on what I need to do to correctly allocate
the memory...

Hi
I have a c# program that continually runs 24/7 and performs a variety of
tasks based on a timer.
There is one routine that hangs every Saturday morning without fail. If I
restart the program throughout the week is still hangs. I can restart it
immediatly after the hang and it runs fine until next Saturday.
There is nothing different about Saturday that I can think of.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
