Rohan's Vehicle Mileage Tracker - My first Visual Studio 2008 app!



If you have wondered how much mileage your vehicle provides but felt lazy to maintain an excel, you would love this application.
All you have to do after each fuel fill is to open this application and enter 3 fields and you could see the calculated mileage received for the last fill.


Some salient features:

1. Form interface to input data with instant view for calculated mileage and Odometer reading
2. Database Grid view to see historical data
3. Export option - export as .csv format and view/backup the entire table
4. The Tracker application automatically checks if an existing SQL database exists on every load, if the database is missing it creates a .sdf database with required tables using SQLCE 3.5 to store your data.

Pre-requisites: Please make sure that .NET Framework 3.5 and SQL CE is preinstalled on the device before installing the application.

Note: On mobile devices which do not have a storage card and on PCs the application would create a folder named Storage Card under root or C:\ respectively. To use application on PC, SQL installation is necessary.

Known limitations:

1. The application does not support editing of database as this point, however you may use SQLCE on your mobile to edit the database if required. A wrong value entered would affect the Mileage calculation so ensure your values are correct before saving.
2. The file exported in .csv format may not be viewable on mobile however could be seen on system.

1) .Net CF 3.5
