The testing side will allow you to add a maximum of 3 company records.
Once you add the 3 records a email form will pop up which will allow you to submit your feedback to me.
The reason i have set it to 3 records only is because it gives everyone a idea on how the program works and gives everyone the feel for it.
Once you get a feel for it you can tell me what you think of it, how easy or difficult it was to work with etc.
This will give me the chance to develop the program and make it as easy as possible to work with.
When the program is ready to be released as a Open Source project you will be able to download the .exe file as well as then project file.
This test release will be available for download later on today.
Stay tuned, i will add another entry once it’s available for download

What Lynx Company Directory Offers

The program will be suitable to run on your local machine as is or used in a network.
Making some modifications you may also be able to run it on a remote server for other people to use.
This may come in handy if you want to share company details with your friends or vice versa.

So, what are the details?

Some of the details you can fill in may be details you will never need to know however the options are there just in case.
Here’s a breakdown of the details you will be able to submit.

• You can upload a thumbnail (Tested Locally Only)
• Set a caption for the thumbnail
• Company name
• Address
• City
• State
• Province
• Zip
• Phone
• Fax
• Representative
  • Name of the person you communicated with if any
• Reference Number
  • A Representative may give you a reference number which may allow you to communicate with that particular person
• Company type
  • You can take a note and describe what type of company this is (eg. telemarketer, credit union, local grocery store etc.)
• Notes
  • You may wish to keep notes on this company such as payment arrangements you made, when they might call you back, what the Representative spoke to you about etc.
• Company Hours of operation
  • Keep track of the company hours of operation as this will save you time digging around looking to see if this place is open before you go down.
• Search capabilities
  • Do you have 135 companies in your directory and want to access a particular one quickly?
    Lynx Company Directory will allow you to search companies based on the company name.
    If no results have been found than you can dig around for the information and insert it in to you directory in case you need it at a later date.
• Removing company details
  • If you directory entry has a record of hours of operation, those will be removed first and than you can remove the company entry.
    Having the company hours of operation removed before the company details first may prevent you from removing the company details by accident.

What you will be able to do with Lynx Company Directory

As stated above, Lynx Company Directory will be open source so you can do what ever your heart desires.
Modify the functionality of it, add your own set of features and make it run the way you want to run it.
Also as mentioned above, it can be used as is for your own personal use or shared amongst your friends and or family.

Changes to the program may happen between now and the time it is made publicly available.
All functionality as stated above will remain intact but may be layed out differently than shown in the screenshots below.
Basic features still needs to be worked on and arranged at a more proper level as you will see in the screens below.
I am pushing to release this publicly July 1st 2010.

I haven’t tried this in Visual Studio 2010 but i’m pretty sure it will work as well cause it’s the default asp.net website template with some modifications added.
I’m not sure if there’s a Import section to import templates or not so i will show you how to add the template into your Web Developer.

• Download the asp.net Website Cherry zip file
• Take the zip file and place it in
  • My Documents > Visual Studio 2010 > My Exported Templates

Once you do this you can fire up Visual Web Developer and create a new website.
You should see the new template called asp.net website cherry
Go a head and click on it and give your site a name than click Ok.
You should now see the new template.

The idea to this application is to show you guys the filtering ability in visual basic and shows you how the filtering was accomplished.
Each filter consists of a query, so having 3 filters = 3 queries.

One of the controls is a navigation menu strip that allows you to:

• Scroll through records
• View how many records are in the database
• Add records
• Delete records
• Save records

Some of us may want to use our own type of controls that will perform the same functionality.
Maybe you want to make your own buttons and place them wherever you want on the form.
This project removes the navigation menu strip and uses buttons to perform all the above.
There is also a label that displays how many records are in the database.
