Hi.....
My name is Mahesh I am working as a developer in CMS Jamshedpur (India). While I sit in front of my system I tend to forget my meals and I guess there must be many of them like me. For the benefit of such people, I developed an application named MAA...(Who takes care of your health) this is my first application using C#.
What does the code do?
In this application once you enter your meal timings. A message box will appear on the screen while you are working and remind you about your meal with a light sound.
How to install it?
Application has 2 files maa.exe and settime.exe. Copy maa.exe to the startup folder and execute settime.exe. set time box will appear.
In the name box enter your name (pet name). In breakfast, lunch and dinner boxes enter your meal timings.
(Your meal timings after 1 pm add 12. your lunchtime 1:30 You should enter 13:30(12:00+1:30)), after entering your timings click ok. This settime.exe will create one file that is storetime.txt for storing; your data. That's all......
Open source: set time.cs

public class SetTime : Form
{
private Label Name = null;
private TextBox Name1 = null;
public SetTime()
{
Name = new Label();
Name.Text = "Name:";
Name.Size = new Size(50, 20);
Name.Location = new Point(20, 50);
Name1 = new TextBox();
Name1.Location = new Point(100, 50);
Name1.Size = new Size(100, 1);
Name1.Text = " ";

Remarks
It doesn't check milliseconds and the system should have a .net framework for this application.
This application is dedicated to my parents.
