Wade's Word

Walking side by side and holding hands, We know where we are headed. Together, we are strong with your delicate fingers wrapped in mine. Holding hands we will travel, laugh and love our life together. My hand in yours will always be. Your hand in mine until the end of time. © 2011 Wade Brooks I gave this poem to my wife, Sandi, on our 20th wedding anniversary. Cheers, Wade Image by my friend Thomas Hawk

  I created this application to write the current real time stock price to our intranet server. The application uses Google’s stock price API. The resulting XML file is parsed for the price and volume which is then saved to the local web server as a text file to be included in a web page. The code retrieves the stock price every five minutes and then saves a file to the server. The code also updates the line chart with the price.

I made an example VB.Net 2010 application to show how to zip and unzip files using the SharpZipLib.DLL. The application uses the library to zip and unzip a file.
