CashTrackerOnline.com Weekly Development Update – 9/2/2010 Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker Online, Notes.
I’ve spent a lot of time working on CashTrackerOnline.com in the past few days, and the done list is starting to outnumber the to-do list. Newly-initiated members of the done list are:
CashTrackerOnline.com Updates Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker Online, Notes.
I’ve been making some progress on the web project over the past few days. I’ve only got the steam for an hour or two each day, but since the last update I’ve accomplished a few things:
CashTrackerOnline.com Weekly Development Summary Posted by Dave under ASP.NET, Cash Tracker Online.
This will be the first of a series of weekly updates about the Cash Tracker Online project.
CashTrackerOnline.com Domain Purchased Posted by Dave under ASP.NET, Cash Tracker Online.
I’ve decided to go ahead with the online version of Cash Tracker. I purchased and parked the domain on my personal hosting account today. You can view the “coming soon” splash page here. I’ve also decided to convert Cash Tracker to a web project before implementing any of the new features. I think the development will be much faster-paced because programming for the web is my strong suit. Also, the tool will be much more accessible on the web, and version control will be much easier to implement (no more converting .tfx files to a new version because of a schema change).
Screen Tracker Upgrade Available Posted by Dave under Code Release, Screen Tracker.
I have just released a Screen Tracker update. I’ll get the source code uploaded at some point. In the mean-time, here is the new feature list:
Screen Tracker Download Available Posted by Dave under Code Release, Screen Tracker.
The Screen Tracker tool is now available. View the Screen Tracker page for details. There’s also a new download link for it on the menu to the right. Screen Tracker is still very rough around the edges. Immediate improvements to be made are:
Cash Tracker 0.9 (beta) Now Available for Download Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker, Code Release.
After several months of testing/tweaking, I have released a beta version of Cash Tracker. I believe it to be a stable product at this point that is simply lacking in some extra features. You can go to the Cash Tracker page to download and install using Click-Once. I have also made the latest source code available on that page. Feel free to leave comments with any feature requests.
Coming Soon! Screen Tracker: A Video Screen Capture Tool Built Using C# and .NET Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker, Screen Tracker.
It’s been a while since I worked on anything I’d consider “hobby code” on my own time. Recently, I had an idea for a utility that will require me to produce a library that will record video capture from the screen. I won’t say what it is, because if I can pull it off I will probably be visiting a patent office first. However, as I learn more about video capture (and audio capture as well), I will package up what I’ve produced into utilities that may be useful for someone else.
Connection Timeout Using LINQ DataContext Posted by Dave under ASP.NET, Code Samples, LINQ.
For a while now, I’ve had a website that was sporadically encountering the following error:

CashTrackerOnline.com Sneak Peek Posted by Dave under Cash Tracker Online.
Here’s a preview of the account tracker I’m working on. I filled it with my own account data to make it look realistic (and because I’m migrating my own finances from the Windows app to the new framework), which is why most of the actual names and numbers are blurred out. Enjoy!
