A basic project manager in C#

Hacker News

A little over a month ago, I asked HN what I should do as my final C# project last semester: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8062174 The one comment I got was good, but I decided to take the easy path because I couldn't get Crystal Reports to play right with an Access database and InstallShield, and time was running out, so I opted for a project manager instead. Since I said I would show it to HN (even though almost no one noticed the thread) ... here it is. It's rudimentary and i'm in the process of rewriting it completely because despite its simplicity I do kind of like it. When you create a project (with or without a deadline) you get a notepad (which is really a rich text editor which I never managed to add controls to) and a todo list... and that's about it. You can add urls to the todo list and they will open in a browser. Everything works from a local Access database, but there is not even an attempt at securing the database. I also removed Crystal Reports and the installer completely because I don't like them and never could get them to work properly. This is essentially the first application I've actually completely designed and finished. https://github.com/kennethrapp/projectmanager
