rainfreak's mirror for 2.0 is now up.

This is a very nice app. It will help I and my wife get thru the month on budget. Mainly by helping ME keep track of things(what $25.00? Oh that, I forgot to write it in the register....).

How many rows are you guys using on the Income list? I'm thinking about shrinking it.

This thread has gone silent.

Are there any new ideas?

Version 2.1 Released

Change Log:

Version 2.1 - 3/16/09
[FIX] Editing income, if changed from Hourly -> *, hours are removed
[FIX] Password window lag gone, even when changing screen orientation
[FIX] Resize lists on Income tab properly for landscape vert scrollbar
[ADJ] Application load time has been reduced
[ADD] Double click list items to edit them
[ADD] Auto build/revision numbers on About window version
[CHG] Increased size of tabs to be more finger friendly
[CHG] When SIP is up on income add window, scrollbars are visible
[ADD] Password window opens SIP by default
[ADD] VERY basic text file exporting
[ADD] Option for startup tab
[ADD] Option to change font size for income, deduction, and exp lists
[CHG] Default font for lists is 8pt instead of 9pt
[NOTE] Now testing on 240x400 (Omnia res) also,  Looks good

The text file exporting is SUPER SUPER basic. It might not even be worth it for most of you...just a warning...it's terrible.

I'm happy with the new changes, though, especially with the decreased loading time and finally getting rid of the nasty lag on the pw entry screen.

You've done really fine work with this. I'm trying to keep up with your updates but, gotta admit, budgeting and keeping track of $ is not my favorite thing. If I can turn your program into a habit, it will be really useful and helpful. It will also be a miracle.
To answer a previous question, my income, when it is incoming at all, comes from 4-5 different sources each month. So the Income List spaces work for me. They may be overkill though for one-job one-paycheck people. Thanks for all the time you've put in on this great app.

Thanks for your kind words. I've always hated budgeting, but about two years ago, I built an Excel file that does pretty much everything version 1.0 of this program did, and I've been using that excel file ever since. I finally got a copy of Visual Studio 2005 from work so I decided to venture into the world of mobile developing and make this app an "on the go" sort of thing. Excel mobile is kinda frustrating.

I'll be keeping the income list large because I think your case is probably fairly common. Thanks again for your comments and suggestions.

Thanks, nautica. I think you're the one and only person who keeps constantly posting in this thread, and I appreciate it. It gets dead fairly quickly.

I don't think VIP will come very soon, but I hope so! Everyone just needs to go through every post I've ever made and click Thanks.

LOL

I have SO many ideas (all of them are written down), and honestly, the only thing keeping this from moving as far forward as I want is the fact that I'm developing with the .NET compact framework. The full framework is so much more versatile that almost all my ideas can be done without extra code. It's a little frustrating, but I'm determined to get these ideas to work, and I thank you all for your support while doing so.

Is this app loading faster for you guys? On my device, load time is probably cut by 50-75% from 2.0. Also, how is the password screen input? Nice and smooth?
