Hi.....
While I sit in front of my system I tend to forget my meals and I guess there must be many of them like me. For the benefit of such people I developed an application name MAA..(Who takes care of your health) this is my First application using c#.
What does the code do?
In this application once you enter your meal timings. A message box will appear on the screen while you are working and remember you about your meal with light sound.
How to install?
Application has 2 files maa.exe and settime.exe. Copy maa.exe to startup folder and execute settime.exe. set time box will appear..
In name box enter your name (pet name). In breakfast, lunch and dinner boxes enter your meal timings. (Your meal timings after 1pm add 12hr. your lunch time 1:30 You should enter 13:30(12:00+1:30)) after entering your timings click ok. This settime.exe will create one file that is storetime.txt for storing
you data. That's all......

//inheriting Form class
public class settime:Form
//Initialize components

Name.Text="Name:";
Name.Size=new Size(50,20);
Name.Location=new Point(20,50);
Name1=new TextBox();
Name1.Location=new Point(100,50);
Name1.Size=new Size(100,1);
Name1.Text=" ";

sw=new StreamWriter("storetime.txt",false);
s=Name1.Text+"\n"+Breakfast1.Text+"\n"+Lunch1.Text+"\n"+Dinner1.Text; sw.WriteLine(s);

return s; }
//starting thread
public static void Main(String[] a)

}
catch (Exception e)
{Console.WriteLine( e.ToString());}
}
Remarks
It doesn't check milliseconds and system should have .net framework for this application.
