Since I found a book "Einstieg in Visual Basic 2010" (EN: "Getting started with Visual Basic 2010") in my local library I had try my out at some programs.
All starts with my personal calculator application. It had some special functions like a percent calculating function.
Some times later I created a new program of to resolve a other problem. I wanted to see in the Windows Tray a information if I'm connect to the internet. The icon of Windows XP shows only the LAN connection state. The small tool pings every
minute to Google and shows the result in its icon. Further it is possible to set the path of any possible browsers and start them from the symbol.
Later I wanted to have a reminder tool. For my E-Mail and calendar I already used Programm which is also a product of a operating system developer firm. But I don't like to have it all time run in background. I don not want to view incoming
mails but all my events. Also for this I wrote a program which runs with a icon in the system tray. And so the name was clear: "TrayAlert".
Further I also used an other, very old program which is also developed by this OS developer. This program series was for a long time a tool for online banking. But this tool in a version from 1995 was also useful without a connection to a
bank. I used this for example to manage my pocket money :-D. But this program series was discontinued in 2006. But want continued have such a program which I can use for my things and works on modern computers. So I created a program which
tries to remake this functioning as it was in the original online banking tool. My program "AnyMoney" was developed for first input- and output of data and the management of multiple bank accounts. But it had many bugs so I
doesn't continued it.
Many of the here discussed programs were not continued. Among others because I learned something more about software development in this time.As result of this I think these old programs are "unattractive" developed. On the other
hand I wanted to develop software for PC and smartphone or for different OS. In the past this was not easy to do. The development of my programs was bound to the .NET Framework this time. So they don't had been continued. But anyway some of
them are shown here in the sub pages. And also some applications which are in development are shown in sub pages.
