First this is NOT a Programming Question NO CODE is requested
I am the recipient of 3 new arteries to the old ticker and more limitations than I care to mention
Preferably a VB.Net project suggestion. Something with a SQLite Database
What I have written
Password Keeper, Check Book, Code Vault, Card Printer, Label Machine, Diary, Best YouTube Links
GAMES that were no fun Pong & Breakout
Thought about this concept but it seems beyond my ability

It's really difficult to make project suggestions without knowing the person pretty well - we have no idea of your skill level or interests (and a lack of interest in the product makes the project go slowly!).
But ... have you tried here: 40 Side Project Ideas for Software Engineers[^] or here: Awesome Project Ideas for Software and Web Developers | Resume[^]
If nothing else, they may give you ideas for a project you might want to use!

Part of the "fun" is the research.

Something along those lines would be a box cutter program.
When I go to ship something, a lot of the time I can't find a box that fits I end of creating one.
It would be nice to be able to enter dimensions, type, size, etc. of the box required and it spit out the cut pattern.

There are many CP articles / projects that can be used as template for an improved / extended version.

Thanks

Here's a few that I use every day:

1: IIS Log File Viewer
2: SQL Database Backup Tool with rotation and offsite options
One that I started and never finished was an MP3 catalog with album art from media player. It sort of works, but MP3 tags do not follow standards  ...better to use the directory, but only because that's how my library is structured.

Hmm. I wrote an app for myself that does this (and more), and even wrote a two part CP article, but never finished the article.

The Simple Shelf Designer
I want to utilize about ninety cubic feet of space in my living area.
My dream: EL-Junk-O pile of cardboard boxes all gone; contents moved onto the neatly organized shelves.
Magic word: Simple. Everything I've seen so far would present me with an eighteen month learning curve.

a tiny source code version control system?
I did not see any such project on the Internet...

Mercurial.
You can run it locally. It's small, and works well.
I needed something for work that stood INSIDE of a Control VCS I was not allowed to commit to until it was working (they did NOT understand how to branch). So I made my changes locally, and used mercurial on the same folders, ignore the other VCS folders. It saved my bacon a couple of times...

Whatever it is you decide to do, you'll have a lot more fun coding it in C# than VB. Just my $0.02

Very true. MS has not allowed VB to keep up with C#, unfortunately.

Oh, OK. Perhaps they want to wean people off it, long term.

I think that is the reason. But it is unfortunate. Having a slightly more productive language, that is as capable as C# (they both produce MSIL anyway), not saddled with the no-longer-necessary curly brackets and semicolons would be a good thing.

I guess. I like C# personally, because, speaking as a C++ programmer, it feels like home, but, like the OP, there's bound to be a lot of VB programmers out there still.
