Question

I’m using C#.NET 2010

I’m working a POS project for 20 outlets and it already installed and utilized in each outlets. One day there’s a change in form say Payment Method, I have to redesign the UI form as well as modified the logic codes.Then I recompile the project and send update to all outlets and it’s not easy to do.
Then I have an idea, I need to separate each form in the project as modules (I’ll use DLL files if it’s ok), so when I modified a form I don’t need to recompile all. I just modify and compile needed form and update it to outlets.

So can I compile a form to a DLL? if so how to achieve that?
Or maybe I’m not in right track to get my idea?

Thanks in advance..

You can use a plugin architecture to do that. Here’s a very good article that might help you.

This article demonstrates to you how to incorporate a single module, as a plugin for another application or use it as a standalone application. The article will demonstrate how a minimal change is required to obtain the above result.
