[APP] Shp Finance 2.51 [2/23/10] [VGA/QVGA/Wide]

since this is dealing with more confidential data versus other people's phone numbers, how about getting an option out at the beginning of the application to see if you want to use a password unlock the application? and of course a no password option should be available too!

Thanks a lot. That means so much to hear! I'm still trying to figure out how to add icons to the application. Nothing I try works. I'm kinda figuring things out as I go. I've been coding in VB6 since it came out about 10 years ago (and vb5 and vb4 before that), and I just started using Visual Studio .NET for VB.NET and C# applications about a month ago, so there are still some things that are confusing the crap out of me, lol.

This will definitely be an option later on, as I've already planned on doing it. This 1.0 version is really more of a beta. I wanted to test the waters to see if people would even be interested in something like this, and it looks like they are, so I will be adding options to the program very soon, of which will be a password option. This will be in either the next release, or the one after that, but definitely soon.

There's no license. I'm not sure where he got that information, since it's only been out for a day, lol.

This is not shareware, it's freeware.

Lol, no, but if I made that much money, I'd probably have similar expenses!

Update:

I've been working on a few things for the version 1.1 release (should be sometime later this week). These include the following:

- Option for password protecting the app
- Option for notification of upcoming expenses. (user can choose between next 1-7 days)
- Addition of Due Date for expenses (will not be required). This will show as a day of the month (i.e. 25th, 2nd, etc)
- Addition of post-tax paycheck distributions (401k, Insurance, etc).
- Flirting with the idea of adding an "Hourly" pay option, but that would require another box for hours per week, and Windows Mobile doesn't really give me much room to work...lol. I'd like to hear some second opinions about this option...
- Not that the app needed to be any smaller, but I've cleaned up the code a lot...preparing for the future, I guess.
- I'm also considering re-organizing the income tab to be kinda like the expense tab is, with a list-view of income that would show kinda like this:

  [Amt       Desc      Freq     Tax]
  [--------------------------------]
  [$500.00   myJob     Weekly   25%]
  [$275.00   Bonus     Monthly  30%]
  [$120.38   Overtime  Weekly   25%]

This would make the income section MUCH more user-customizable, and allow for much more free space on the income tab that could be used for the post-tax distributions like mentioned above (401k, health ins, etc), which would also be in a list-view.

Let me know what you guys think of this...

The way I've done the coding so far, your myBudget 1.0 saved profiles will load into version 1.1 just fine.

Those are some very cool features that you are adding into the app. My only suggestion would be a way to export your data out in either a flat file or xml file for printing, email, etc. To me this would mak eit a pretty complete package.
