OK, got the point ;-)
Yes, this would be very interesting and I would join.
But: Would this be possible? Once the RB compiled an app, there are
most likely no longer symbols of the framework inside, since - I
suppose -
all symbols get resolved and replaced during compile time.
I'd like a solution, which soft links all framework code. Don't know, if
this would slow down each app. But using this schema, RB could generate
pure executable file without the entire framework. Once you start the
app
the first time, the app could check for its framework and - if not
found -
start downloading its framework version - once for all RB apps, which
use the same one.
Well, just an idea.
Once RB switched fully to Cocoa, the system might probably move in this
direction.
BTW:
While I still didn't upgrade to
RB 2K5 or 2K6, I just ordered VS 2005 Standard, since I'll like to
evaluate
the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. It is really impressive, how
small .Net apps
are and that you can deploy your .Net apps using ClickOnce on a
webserver.
Dummy sample ClickOnce app: http://www.turingart.com/downloads/
sbrowser/sbrowser.htm
Moreover, .Net maintains each different version of an app fully
individual.
Thus, if you installed an app using ClickOnce and auto-updates at a
later point
of time, .Net maintains copies of version A and version B. Thus, at
each moment
of time, you might roll back from version B to version A. Nice.

That sounds like it would work nicely Stephan, but we still have
the problem that every console app would contain the RB Framework
and thus be rather large. I know the GUI framework is probably the
biggest bit of any system, but it's still going to be a lot of
overhead.
Does anyone else feel that this would be a nice feature request?
I'm thinking of wording it like this:
FEATURE REQUEST-->
Would like the ability to compile a project without the RB
framework that could then be called from within a project that does
contain the RB framework along with any plugin code needed by the
smaller frameworkless builds.
