SiS has been involved in all aspects of Application Development for many years  (For information on Database Application Development go here).  Most of that experience is with Visual Basic (.Net), Visual Basic for Applications, and Flash, both for stand alone programs, and for automation and integration of MS Office products. 

Below are some FREE sample programs created by SiS, written in VB.net and Flash.  These programs requires that you have installed Microsoft's ".Net" framework on you PC.  (".Net" is rapidly becoming the new standard for all MS programming tools)  Download it and try it.  (no guarantee, use at your own risk, etc...)

File Search and Replace - This program can be used to rename, replace, or even delete files and folders.  It searches through the specified directories, searching for specified names and files extensions.  It can be used to "Sanitize" a file structure, removing all sensitive info, for demo purposes.  Use carefully!

Simple Synchronization - This program can be used to synchronize the files and folders in two different directory structures.  For example, if you have internet favorites on two different computers, you can use this program to combine them.  Lots of options.  (this program does not yet have code for trapping file access errors)

Slide Show - This Flash program background loads images from an external folder for use in a slide show.  All information such as, caption, description, transition type, time between transitions are loaded from an external file in XML format (slides.xml).  Instructions will be forthcoming.

Talking Clock - This is the perfect utility for those of us who lose track of time while working on the computer.  In addition to "telling" time, it has reminders and alarms.  Time can be displayed in the SysTray, including seconds!  (Currently being ported over to .Net)

Web programming experience includes languages such as JavaScript, VBScript, ASP and ASP.Net.  (See the Web Development topic)

Unix programming skills includes C shell, and Korn shell scripts that integrate database access/data retrieval.

For those brave soles trying to integrate the Indexing Service into there programs, this little program will be helpful.  It is compiled from VB6 source code that was at one time included in the Windows Platform SDK.  It allows the developer to experiment with query types and strings using the system catalog.
