Here's my first attempt at making a "production grade" WM 6 application. I'm sure there are other applications out there that do this, but I wanted the development experience.
Prerequisites:
.NET CF 3.5
SQL Server CE 3.5 (edit *cab now included in post*)
VGA Device
Features:
v0.1
"Finger Friendly" Interface.
Reports on: Last Tank's MPG, Total MPG
Ability to clear out the database.
v0.2
Binary backup/restore of the database (backup stored as (InstallDirectory)\GasTrackerDB.bak) - Tools Page
Export/Import XML data - Tools Page
Ability to view raw database data
Added "about" screen - Tools Page
Known Issues:
This app is about 1MB. I used some pretty high-res icons that look great on the Touch Pro's VGA screen, but at the expense of file and memory footprint.
Existing Users: Upgrading from v0.1 to v0.2 - You MUST manually back up your database. Do this by backing up the GasTrackerDB.sdf file in your install directory (Usually \Program Files\GasTracker) to another location, uninstalling GasTracker, installing v0.2, then overwriting the GasTrackerDB.sdf file with your own.
Again, please be gentle, this is my first app that I've ever released
v0.2 - Added new features: Binary backup/restore, export/restore from XML, viewing of raw data
v0.1 - Initial Release
Like this app? Have a few extra bucks?
