I’m going to post a few articles to describe various facets of mv.NET, both for people who have never seen it as well as for those who are using it. I’ll start here with info about webinars, a video, and some info about the “big picture”.

Many of you know that I’ve been doing more work with Twilio over the last few months. I’ve been progressing slowly simply for lack of time but things are starting move more quickly. We’re starting to look toward near-term deployment of new apps based on the Twilio platform. These are intended toward a general consumer [...]

Following up on Part 1 of this topic, As I continue working on this I’m quite pleased with the progress. I am providing screenshots, and the code which I’m using for testing – just not the code that actually generates the charts.

I’m working on a project that requires dynamic charts and graphs. I took another look at Google Charts today, and it didn’t take long to create an interface with MV BASIC. Now I can easily create bar charts, and I’ll soon extend this to support lots of other types like pie charts, line graphs, and [...]

The question was asked in the U2 forum today: “Is there a conversion tool or utility available for converting xls spreadsheets to txt files…”? Sure there is, and it’s free too. Here is some info on ExcelExport, and another very powerful utility called mvExec.

As one of my ongoing projects I’ve been working on a toolkit that generates an MV/Pick DBMS using a graphical, flow-chart designer as the source.
