We have a c# application wich is used by user to do stuff ;-)
What I want is to add at the startpage of the application some news or information like "hey, there is a new update for the application" or "did you know this feature..." Basically I want something similar like the startpage in Visual Studio.
The news should remain when there is no internet connection and update when there are new entires.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks
Let your application read some data from file located in the server (XML is good idea), Also you must save the current version of your app in some file (or some where).
So after comparing between the two values you can decide what to show in your news bar.
To show some news you can just read it from another XML file in the server, Then organized it like you want.
here is good ways to read XML from server Read an XML file from http address

Is it possible to call an exe from a MVC site?
I've seen this link. (I'll try it tomorrow in the morning when I get in the office)
Stackoverflow link
However I wanted to know if I cam barking up the wrong tree.
I have a 3rd party app that provides us a stand alone exe. Instead of sending this exe to x amount of clients. I would like to keep that exe on my web server so I can control who can use the exe.
Is this is viable option?.
You might find the responses to this old question helpful. If you are trying to run an exe file within your application, I think this would be the approach to take.
If I have understood your question wrong, and you are trying to provide users with a link to download an application, or a link to launch an application that already exists on their computer, then you will probably want to look into the html <href> tag.

I am developing an interface that customizes and generates forms for customers to use on their own site. When a user logs in to the interface, he can create a form, add or remove fields from existing forms, and the system will generate the file.
I want to know what's the best approach for doing this. Making these forms independent and just use HTML/Javascript? or have them part of the overall MVC solution inside a Views folder so it can have server side code?
Probabily the best way is not to store the entire form, but having some metadata that describe the forms, then generate the gui dynamically. There are many ways to doing this, it basically depends on your skill, and your specifics, personally im developing something similar right now and i chose Angular2.
Here an example:

When you send an application to someone, using another computer, besides the application itself, do I have to send the Resources File too? And if I am using a DataBase do I have to send the Database.mdf file too? And what else would you have to send to make sure your application works on another computers?
Sorry if this question is a repeated one, but most of the others just ask for a single item, either the Resources or something else. But I would like to know about everything you have to send.
Thanks a lot !
it depends on your approach. i think you have a software with database and... that you want to sell and make it owrk on other users device. you can make you app make a new database on first start. you can include database files if its local and add to user app directory and... it all depends on you packaging method and tool.
or maybe you want let someone continue the project. so you can give other developer a back up .bak format or export database files from sql server management studio and other developer can attach them to the other machine project

Lets assume that we have developed and shipped an application to many customers. We would like to add new screens to that application without removing and re-installing from customers computers the entire application. We just want to send a DLL or an EXE file to the customer, then they will put that file and place it to application folder. Then application will find and recognize that DLL or EXE and let user use that WinForm?
How can I do that? Would you please give me an idea?
professional and complete solution is MEF if you want something simple, you could use something like Assembly.LoadFrom(filePath) and iterate types in it. check for if the type is derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form (you should use typeof(Form).IsAssignableFrom(loadedType))
This problem is why web-applications are so popular. A single install for everyone. Change without re-installing in multiple locations.
This problem is why SAAS exists. The true solution to this problem is get off the winform-gui model.
Think bigger!

I am planning to design a website which displays the live scores of matches(NBA, AFL) etc. I would like to get scores, store them in my database and then display in my website. How can I accomplish this. Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Sandeep.
Well first you need to decide how you're going to get the data. Is there a webservice that you can query? A document/webpage you can parse to get the information? Are you going to write a speech recognition device to interpret results from the radio or will you type it in by hand.
Then you need to get your database up and running, and whatever is reading your data (maybe it could be a windows service) can write the data into the database. Something like SQLExpress is quite good to try out.
Once you've got that you'll need to decide on your technology, ASP.NET or Silverlight are some good examples. You'll want to create some controls and then databind to the results from your database, which you could obtain using SQL expressions.
