Portable Notepad App

Hi Michael,


You can run a .NET executable from any location so long as there isn't a permissions issue. The PC needs the version of the .NET Framework you target. If the PCs are 'not up to date', does that mean old XP machines that might not even have the Framework installed at all? If so, you may as well aim at version 4.0 and force the user to update in order to run your application.


Most programmers have probably done a Notepad clone as one of their first apps, but why would you actually want to use this when Notepad and Wordpad come with Windows? And I'm unsure if you could find a version of Linux without a text editor if you tried. Are you using encryption or implementing some other feature that Notepad doesn't offer?
