Created Visual Basic 2008 Voltage Drop application

from
electrician2.com
I finally got around to downloading Microsoft's Visual Basic express 2008 net version and created a new .exe voltage drop application. I used to program in Basic and then learned JavaScript, HTML, and some Perl, but I have to say, Visual Basic is about the neatest thing since sliced bread. It combines Basic, JavaScript and HTML features, and C# and is about the easiest programming application that I have ever used. Dang, I wished this stuff had been around when I was a kid! It also builds the executable exe file application for deployment from the Internet or from a CD with about 6 clicks of a mouse. I put a link to the vd calculator at both the electrician2.com and electriciancalculators.com sites for a free download. I am already building the full version with tabs so all the calculators can be accessed within one windows application using tabs at the top. This will include a print preview and print to printer buttons. I may even created a help menu. Since it is about 10 below with a foot of snow and dark about 20 hours a day here in North Pole visual basic programming is about the only exciting thing to do. There was a bull moose walking across the lake today with a nice rack. I filmed him from the upstairs balcony. He stopped for a while and looked a me then walked on to the bank and started feeding.
