Create a new file - Covert2String - 04-09-2012
Hello, I'll try to explain the best I can. So, I need to create an application with code, for example: the main Application would have a textbox where you write your name, then it would generate a new Application with your name as the form title (great example, I know).
Thanks in advance <!-- s

I've not explained myself properly, I want to create a NEW file from a base application, like: My main application has a function called Generate Exe, which gets the name I wrote, and creates a new EXE file with that setting.
