    <p>ok, i have made a program that needs to also patch a client. rather then downloading each file and overwriting, i would like to make a self extracting WinRAR file download then run silently and extract to a designated path. so far this is what i think i will need</p> <pre><code>{ //check for patch(client)(server).txt file //download the file MessageBox.Show("working", "Patcher", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information); //check file for needs &amp; write to string //delete file //implement progress bar steps by files needed //find if file is already in directory //if not then download //finish and show msg (patcher will now extract) //msg ok resets progress bar //set steps for files needed //extract resources &lt;--- //overwrite text file //finish and show msg (Patch finished) } </code></pre> <p>I can accomplish all the checks and downloads but as for the extracting resources I am at a blank, also please review and see if i have missed any checks.</p> <p>edit: i finished everything but the extraction codes, check for approval</p> <pre><code> public void extractrar(string fileneeded) { string realfileneeded = "ini\\update\\" + fileneeded;

    1. CO`if (Application.StartupPath.Contains("version.dat"))` returns false because it is looking for the string "version.dat" in your startup path. Use `File.Exists` instead.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
