- Visual Money. Smart and Ambitious. — All software developers know: There are certain areas in the market where one would never try to compete — there are some Old, Greedy Huge-Budget and Long-History Monsters out there already, and «you’ll-never-bit-them». The trick is -there is a small share of presumptuous developers who still try to take their steps in such markets — and they win! (Much more often than you might think, actually.) Sometimes they even…
- VBto 2.30, Visual Basic No More — For its time, Visual Basic 6 was an excellent tool. It was easy to learn, write and read, had reasonably good visual forms designer, allowed easy usage of ActiveX controls... Unfortunately, those times have gone. Now, there is .NET, there is VC++ MFC, there are other IDE with form designers, like Delphi. There is no place for good old VB6. Old projects are to be translated to new environments, but it is not an easy…
- PDF In-The-Box ActiveX 3.12 — Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is probably one of the most popular cross-platform, display resolution-independent means of document exchange. The ability to generate reports and output data as PDF has become a standard feature for a great many of desktop and web applications. If you are a developer willing to have an easy way of generating nice PDF reports or any other documents directly from the code of your…
- HtmlCapture ActiveX Control, Web Snapshot In A Few Lines Of Code — Taking shots (images) of web-pages is an often and highly usable programming task. There are scores of possible usages, from large web-archiving suits to small one-time testing scripts; but the general purpose snapshot tools (either PrintScreen or specialized software) aren’t very good for the task. If you want one powerful yet compact solution for the problem which can be used virtually with any programming language, take a look…
- TextTransformer 1.4.1, The Last Text Processor You Need — TextTransformer is described as a tool for transforming texts (you bet!). But, in fact, this short description is almost humiliating for this great tool! Because real possibilities of TextTransformer are stretched from trivial word replacements in the text file to creation of new scripting languages (read it twice, guy; it’s true). The trick is: you need some kind of programmer’s mindset to use…
- UI Builder for Access - a drastic usability improvement for your Access applications — Microsoft Access is one of the most popular solutions for quick creation of database-driven applications mostly used in office environments. Being in essence a very powerful tool for creating complex forms and reports, Microsoft Access unfortunately lacks a lot of standard UI elements, which makes the process of creating a user-friendly application a real pain in the neck. UI Builder for Access solves this problem and allows…
- Directory Report - the great feeling of complete control over your files and folders — If you deal with vast arrays of information and thousands of files on a daily basis, you have probably come up with numerous tricks that help you manage and monitor all your files and folders. However, if the archive continues to grow (and so is the nature of all archives), you will inevitably face a situation when efficient file and folder management will become a vital necessity rather than something that you just want…
- MonoReport - a powerful and flexible .NET report-generation tool — Although reporting is a fairly common feature for various applications, its implementation may be quite tricky and possibly require substantial time — which is always something you don’t have in plenty. If you are seeking a tool or component for your .NET application that would allow you to integrate standard report generation capabilities in under an hour, you should definitely check out MonoReport!
