ener.gee incorporated

Tried this site out of curiosity and from some blog review site. It's some sort of online game that gives you $100 million to run you own company. I have created the "Rixxtech" company for $100 with Stock Price of $ 11.82 per share (Well I don't really know how they computed that 11.82). From what I know, incorporators decide on how much the price per share should be (not too big so as to avoid high taxes, and not too small to be able to attract investors). The challenge is "can you run a Green Energy Company?" What is a Green Company? To be considered a Green Company, part of their goal should be to minimize the damage that the business may have caused the environment. The company seeks to be as environment friendly as possible. Now for this site, they are challenging any business minded individual to run a Green Company-- an Energy Company. It's a good practice though. For those who want to start their own business, practicing in some online investment game should be a fun start.

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...

Number to Text in Excel

I was asked today by one of my classmates about converting numeric values to literal values in excel. I thought there was a function for this but I found none. Well I was curious so I looked it up on the web . I've done a little modification here to make it more or less generic (specially when writing in checks). Here's how it's done: Click Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor Insert a module Paste the following code: Option Explicit '**************** ' Main Function * '**************** Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber) Dim Temp, WholeNumberText, DecimalText Dim DecimalPlace, Count ReDim Place(9) As String Place(2) = " Thousand " Place(3) = " Million " Place(4) = " Billion " Place(5) = " Trillion " ' String representation of amount. MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber)) ' Position of decimal pl...

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...
