I'm just wondering if there is anyone here who can run .net Visual Basic programs. Microsoft sent me their 2003 standard visual basic programming edition (free) and I have been playing with it--I'm a novice and my first program is sort of trivial.
The problem is I can't find anyone to run it since almost no one has the dotnet framwork installed.
It would be mainly of interest to people who are "border-crossers" (Canadian). The program is Mileage.zip and it is at:
www.xmission.com/~sherwin/download2.html It does have one calculation that everyone might find interesting.
It gives the amount of carbon dioxide produced by burning gasoline. It is accurate but some people don't believe it. They say. "But the gas doesn't even weigh that much!" Then I explain that you have to account for the oxygen.
Please contact me if you can run the program, or are playing with VB.net.
