Computer Stores

Davao City has many computer stores ready to supply our technological needs. Among my preferred stores are Computer World, Rasi, and Thinking Tools. I buy my personal computing needs at Thinking Tools. Although I don't really feel valued when buying something at their store, the price would make me stay and buy. Our computers in our company were bought at Computer World. Again, preference is given to them because of affordable price. All the rest that cannot be found in those two, we can acquire at Rasi. I wonder if I could save more if I buy online. My printer has high ink cost. I might be replacing it with a more affordable one. Lexmark printers perhaps or printers where I just have to buy a printer toner. Hmmm... it would be nice if it includes a scanner.
Well, it would be a lot better if it were a 3-in-1 (Printer, Photocopier, and Scanner) but without the high maintenance or usage cost. I haven't seen a 3-in-1 converted into a Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS). It would be a lot more convenient. Other things that I need to have their prices lowered down are networking peripherals. Routers, Switch, RJ45, CAT5 UTP Cable, etc. I might check out Superwarehouse computer store. One thing I noticed with this store though is that many products are old (e.g. laptop: most are IBM thinkpad. I'm using a lenovo now.). Well, I will still try to surf around their site. I might be able to find many things useful. I hope they have new networking gadgets. :D

How to register a business name

Attending business summits and conferences is a big help to those who belong to the quite "techy" (technological or technical) industry. Being a graduate of one, I had less knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. Enrolling myself in business administration gave me quite the knowledge to be a part of the business world and thus improve my entrepreneurial skills. I now would like to share this information that I got familiar with (and I managed to get a copy of the entire process from the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress): How to Register a Business Name (in the Philippines) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP Applicant must secure 2 copies of registration form and pay Php 300.00 (rate may change) for single proprietorship registration processing fee. The registration shall be valid for five (5) years. A surcharge of Php 100.00 is imposed if renewal is filed beyond the three (3) month grace period, c...

Adding a Footer to the DataGridView component

I have been searching for sites and forums that would give me a any hint on having a footer on the .net DataGridView control. It was frustrating. I found some, but not what I was looking for. I use windows forms. It would have been easier if I was into web. I decided to create one for myself. It's not complete, but it works with me. It needs improvement and I hope that some programmers who might pass through this blog will help me with it :D. Limitations: Cannot set Footer values during design time. Can sometimes hide a row when scrolled to the last item in the grid. What I did was just create a user control that inherits the DataGridView control and add a StatusStrip to act as the footer. public partial class MyDataGridView : DataGridView { public StatusStrip Footer { get { return (StatusStrip)this.Controls["Footer"]; } } private bool _footerVisible; [Browsable(false)] /// /// Sets or Gets the va...

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns:  ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...
