0 kjordan2001 Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 You can only edit the MSIL (or possibly decompile it) or if it's in native code, hexedit it or decompile it to assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 apa1exakis Posted June 9, 2004 Author Share Posted June 9, 2004 Okay, thank you all for your replies. I guess for the moment its back to my web programming. I was hoping to learn how to work with Windows apps but I will either do it when I have more time to actually learn or just stay on the web. School doesnt give me that much free time. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
