Environment: ASP, IIS Server, Visual Basic 6.0, Oracle 7.1
Full Cycle Application Development, Documentation, and Testing.    
*       Knowledge Management System is a package developed to keep track of
vital information. Information is categorized and each category has its own
problem, solution and effect. There is a problem solver module that gives
solutions depending on consultant and problem area. The system used Oracle 7.1
for data storage. PL/SQL was used to create tables, views, procedures etc. as
well as certain constraints as Primary Key, Unique, Foreign key. User interface
was provided with Visual Basic. Here a number of already available ActiveX
controls were used such as Toolbox, StatusBar, Image List, DbCombo, Grid
Control etc. along with the standard controls. Data was accessed by ADO using
OLE-DB provider. ActiveX DLL was used to package complex routines using Class
Modules. Error Handlers were used to trap errors. The reports generated were
using crystal reports as well the reports for problem solver made use of
TreeView and Listview Control for getting a view of all the solution category
in a hierarchy. To make the system more useful to people connected over net
information could be collected on-line and stored in the database, the reports
could also be send to authorized persons. For this purpose ASP was used. Use of
HTML was also necessary for this purpose. IIS Application project using Web
Class- this feature of  VB was used. IIS server served the purpose of running
and testing ASP modules. Online help was provided using the tool for the
purpose. Debugging was done using a VB tool.
Web Based Recruitment Management System, Nov 1998 to May 1999
Environment: ASP, IIS Server, Visual Basic 6.0 and Oracle 7.1  
Full Cycle Application Development, Documentation, and Testing.    
*       Recruitment Management System is a package developed for Recruitment
Agencies which need to keep record of all the candidates approaching them and
finally selecting the list of candidates available for a particular category.
The software has a provision for video recording of interviews, scanning of
photograph and reports are generated in a format that makes it convenient for
the user to send mails directly using MAPI and also access on the Internet. The
application involved Web database connectivity using ASP. The system was
developed in VB 6.0 as Front-end. The user interface was made through Forms
which used a number of a number of ActiveX controls shipped with VB which
include Toolbox, StatusBar, Image List, DbCombo, Grid Control, MAPI controls
etc.) . The data was stored in a database server which in this case was Oracle
7.1. Data Access method was ADO by using OLE-DB provider. ActiveX DLL was used
to package complex routines using Class Modules. Error Handlers were used to
trap errors. There was a special module in which the data was collected and
they replaced the bookmarks of a formerly prepared word documents such as
replacing directly the name, address, salary etc. in an agreement letter and at
the click of a Print button the letter is printed with the details of the
candidate selected. OLE automation control made the video, audio and photo
scanning possible.  To make the system Web enabled most of the objects of ASP
were used and finally the ASP modules were tested on IIS server. An online Help
was also made with the tool available with VB.

controls. It provides provision for making stories and later distributing them
as per requirement. The project makes use of Active X controls made for the
various effects to be generated in order to make the system visually appealing
to the user. Making it an IIS enabled application facilitates an on-line
Internet tutor on variety of applications to users. The database was stored in
MS Access 97. The Primary Key and other constraints and relationships were put
on each Table in database file. The process of accessing data was through ADO
using Jet Engine Provider 3.5. In the story writing section a user can select
an effect or a control (Designed using ActiveX control or DLL). The control is
positioned and there is a facility given to drag it to the point the control is
to be moved and this manner the position of the control can be recorded. Or if
in an effect you want to move a control from one point to another then position
for that is also recorded. Extensive use of ActiveX controls and DLL is done to
provide the user with maximum effects and controls. An option is also provided
for recording bitmaps or any picture files, sound, Rich Text Files. Each story
can be compiled, played and distributed. API procedures were used for some
features such as SetWindowsPos, PlaySound etc. API viewer provided the
appropriate declarations for the Window API procedures. Error Handlers were
used to trap errors. Debug tools of Visual Basic were used. And also help was
provided using the tool for the same. IIS Application project using Web Class-
