Electronic notes in C#

Sample image

Introduction

Instead of filling my desk with yellow paper notes I decided to fill my desktop full of electronic notes instead.

Installing mbNotes

Download mbNotes from the link above. Copy mbNotes.exe present in "bin\release" dir into the directory of your choice.

Usage

Double click on the mbNotes.exe file and you'll see a new note icon in the system tray. When you right-button click on the icon a menu will pop-up allowing you to create a new note, to show product info, and to close the program.

Each note has a subject field and a text field.  When you create a new note it appears in the center of screen with a default subject and a default text. At the bottom will be displayed date and time creation.

Clicking on the top left note icon the note's menu will pop-up.  The menu's choices are:

  • Edit: to edit the subject and message.
  • Delete: to delete the current note.
  • Save: to save the note's data.
  • Minimized: only the note's subject is visible. When minimized, move the mouse over the subject to see the message.
  • Set font.
  • Color: choose the background color of the note.
  • New note: create a new note.

The note's information will be persisted into a file named "noteslist.bin". This file will be created in the same directory where executable is located. Data is saved when the program is closed or when you choose Save from menu.

That's it. Have fun!
