Re: [WISPA] User check program

[Jason]

Could the settings be stored in a file on a web server, and an ini file (or compiled in file) just point to the file on the web server?  That way, if your network changes and you want to "re-point" everyone to different ip's, you just change the one file on your web server, not hundreds of ini files across your service area.  The logo on the program could just be a pic on the web server too.  So, even your company logo could be changed en mass. ~Feature Idea~ Also, something I wanted to work on some day was an icon for the notification bar (in vb.net this is easy).  The icon could use different colors and the tool tip (or ~GASP~ a pop up!)  to let people know of any service announcements or outages, etc.  This notification could be another file on a web server that it checks every 10 minutes or so.  That way, if something goes down, you don't get 2000 phone calls in a row telling you so (as long as the customer can still reach the web server...)

Or it could be done both ways, with the option to set it to "compiled" or "INI". The compiled version WOULD make for an easier download and use, yes. Either all the variables go into an .ini file, or they all go into one file in the source code. You could even split the difference, and have default settings compiled in, that are overridden by the presence of a valid .ini.
