Skatezilla's DCS Updater Utility GUI

Many Thanks I am now working on it. Looking forward to the F15 next week.

Don’t understand how Pre-purchase = Getting it?

Sorry, I realize this is the pre-order for the F15 on Feb 3rd. Focus is on DCS updater/launcher.
Lots of learning going on. Programs, manuals etc…

Pretty!

I’m knee-deep in C#/WPF these last 2 weeks (been a long time but it’s coming back to me), meaning: I really appreciate a sharp looking and functional UI!

Some more w/ a Basic quick Config of 2 builds to activate controls:

I want to report a bug.

There’s no Viggen in the front page image.

:wink:

Seriously, I can only imagine the amount of work that has gone into this app, but you seem to have been very busy indeed…!
Looking forward to using it!

Apologies,
Release Build was used to Activate controls, Builds are Scanned for MT Binaries automatically and control is activated if they are detected:

So based on your previous statement, do these shots mean you are closing in on an initial release?

This new version looks like when a kid asks for a fort in the backyard and dad proceeds to build a scale replica of Helm’s Deep with working drawbridge and Horn of Helm Hammerhand for them.

This time around is still VB.net,

I plan to convert to WPF and C# Later.

I already know the gripes everyone has with VB.net, and I experience them plenty,
The fact that I’ve been able to code up solutions to most of the VB.net Code walls is astounding,

When I convert to C# half of my solutions wont even be needed.

I’d used WinForms for quite a long time (C/C++) then when WPF came out I thought, “why not?”. Quite the paradigm shift. Don’t know where VB.Net is now-a-days (wrote a big tool with it ~2009).

Then of course I didn’t write so much as line of code until about 2 years go. My observations so far: WPF makes the difficult easy, the easy difficult.

Once you get your head around its data-binding thing it moves along. I’m still trying to catch up as my brain ‘grew up’ in the WinForms age.

Sadly, to me, the IDE is if anything more fussy than it was in '09. Not having to go to the CD for the API is heavenly however (yeah, a long time ago).
