Visual Basic .NET For Students

In chapter one, you will get to know the properties and events of each control in a Windows Visual Basic application. You need to learn and know in order to be more familiar when applying them to some desktop applications in this book. In Tutorial 1.1, you will build a dual-mode stopwatch. The stopwatch can be started and stopped whenever desired. Two time traces: the running time when the stopwatch is active (running time) and the total time since the first stopwatch was activated. Two label controls are used to display the time (two more labels to display title information). Two button controls are used to start/stop and reset the application, one more button to exit the application. The timer control is used to periodically (every second) update the displayed time. In Tutorial 1.2, you will build a project so that children can practice basic skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations. This Math Game project can be used to choose the types of questions and what factor you want to use. This project has three timing options.

In Tutorial 1.3, you will build Bank Code game. The storage box is locked and can only be opened if you enter the correct digit combination. Combinations can be 2 to 4 non-repetitive digits (range of digits from 1 to 9). After a guess is given, you will be notified of how many digits are right and how many digits are in the right position. Based on this information, you will give another guess. You continue to guess until you get the right combination or until you stop the game. In Tutorial 1.4, you will build Horse Racing game. This is a simple game. Up to 10 horses will race to the finish line. You guessed two horses that you thought could win the race. By clicking on the Start button, the race will start. All horses will race speed to get to the finish line.

In chapter two, you will learn the basic concepts of classes and objects. Next, it will demonstrate how to define class and type of enumeration, which shows how both are used in the application. In Tutorial 2.1, you will create a two-level application that uses a form to pass input user to the People class. The form class is the level of representation and the People class is the middle level. You will add controls to the form so people can enter ID, last name, and their height. When the user clicks the Save button, the code will assign input values to the People class properties. Finally, you will display the People object on a label. Figure below shows the form after the user clicks the Save button. In Tutorial 2.2, you will add a parameterized constructor to the People class. The application will ask the user to enter values, which will then be passed to the People constructor. Then, the application will display the values stored on the People object.

In Tutorial 2.3, you will create an application that utilizes enumeration type. The user will choose one type of account that is listed in a ListBox control and what he chooses is then displayed in a Label control. In Tutorial 2.4, you will create a simple Bank application. This application has one class, BankAcc, and a startup form. In Tutorial 2.5, you will improve the simple Bank application, by implementing the following two properties in the BankAcc class: TotalDeposit- Total money saved in current account; TotalWithdraw- Total funds that have been withdrawn from current account. In Tutorial 2.6, you will create an application to calculate the time needed for a particular aircraft to reach takeoff speed. You will also calculate how long the runway will be required. For each type of aircraft, you are given (1) the name of the aircraft, (2) the required take-off speed (feet/sec), and (3) how fast the plane accelerates (feet/sec2). In Tutorial 2.7, you will provide a number of programming training for those who want to improve their programming skills. Your task here is to write an object-oriented application so that training manager can displa
