Hello,

I need to develop an application which (like the office suite of programs)
can be run as a standalone executable or automated from another program.

If I choose a "Windows Application" in c#, i cannot set a reference to it.

I can get the results I am after by having all of my forms in a .dll which
gets referred to by another windows application. Is this the best way?

Also, I am using the following code to call a method which launches a form

Class1 class1=new Class1();

class1.launchForm();

but when the calling executable closes, the form closes, what is the best
way around this?


Thanks in advance

Mike Williams
