Project is to write a new application in VB.NET to replace the current Report Viewer I have written (see attachements for the current app and sample data). The report viewer essentially loads data from a database and displays it in an easy-to-use and view format.
The current viewer is lacking in a lot of features and was written in VB6. The new viewer should be in VB.NET and instead of a flat file use SQLite db files. The following will be used for SQLite access: http://www.eztools-software.com/tools/sqliteplus/default.asp (a free trial is available)
Please see the attached current application to get an idea of how it works and how it needs to function.****** Also, see the "detailed requirements" section for the detailed requirements. ****
For any clarifications, please send a message. The application must run in Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 and 64 bit).
Detailed Requirements:The following are the requirements for the new report viewer:Ability to filter results (e.g. only show items that contain a keyword, or a username, or other conditions)
Ability to search results (e.g. search all results for a keyword, highlighting that keyword in the displayed search results)
Ability to “bookmark†items of interest (e.g. as the user browses the results, they can mark/bookmark items to be exported as a report later. Need to be able to create folders to separate different bookmarks)
Report Viewer launches and loads results from database in almost-realtime (e.g. refreshes results every 5 seconds), or on a manual basis by the user (clicking a refresh button).
Ability to add alerts based on keywords (e.g. as the results are refreshed, if the word “bomb†is found in a result, the user is notified by an audible/visual/notification method – configurable by the user. SMS/email notification would be an option)
Intelligent sorting of columns, and the ability to rearrange columns or include/un-include them from the export/generated report
Ability to export results to CSV, TSV, HTML, PDF, Microsoft Excel
Ability to create complete report of all selected results to a modern, user friendly HTML report
Utilize SQlite database for reading/storing results data
Ability to hide certain columns from main view that can be viewed by the user by hovering or going to a Property screen
Language support for multi-languages/displaying Unicode in results data
Other minor usability features like being able to right-click on a cell containing a URL and launching the URL
Worker: On pay-for-deliverable
projects, all deliverables must be
uploaded to
vWorker.com before the
deadline(s)Â…with no exceptions. If
this contract makes it impossible
to do this (for example if it is
for a service that cannot be
uploaded), then do not start
this project. Otherwise, you
may find
yourself unprotected by the
payment guarantee.
Instead, ask the employer
to switch this project to
pay-for-time, so you are
guaranteed payment. If the
employer will not switch this, then
please alert us.
(Click here for more details...)
Example of unprotected/un-guaranteed work:
Imagine that this project is to
install something on the employers
website.
You do the work but upload nothing
to vWorker.com (because it takes too
long,
or you cannot). As long as there is
no dispute, you will not notice the
potential problem. But if the
employer disputes what you did then
we must make sure you delivered to the
triple-point-guarantee (100% to-contract: and
done in the industry exepcted manner, and
by the deadline). If the employer
does not allow us access to their
website, or accidentally/deliberately
changes the work you did on their
website, when we go to test it, we
will see that it does not work.
Then you would have no proof that
you delivered the final deliverables,
lose the arbitration, the escrowed
funds and receive a poor rating
(which will say “testing showed
the final deliverables did not
work”).
So for this reason,
you should have instead followed
the above instructions and
switched it to pay-for-time.
Had you done this, we would simply
have checked the Accutimcard to
make sure you punched-in the time
and were working on it. You would
have been paid for every hour
you worked.
