You will make a new VB project by following along in your book on page 54 (Exercise 2-1). Read chapters 1 & 2 really well before making your application.

The purpose of this project is to see if you can create an app on your own, rename the controls, and zip it up and send it to me. You app does not have to calculate anything.... I just want you to create an app that is like the one on page 45. You do not have to make it calculate anything!

When completed, you should know the following things:

1. You will know how to transfer a project from home to school or to me in email.
2. You understand how to add controls and name them.
3. You start getting used to making a nice User Interface(UI).
4. Begin to understand how VB & Windows work together.
5. I want you to know how to set simple properties.

HW # 2

 Simple Data Entry (15 pts)
Due at noon on Friday of Week 5

For this project, I want you to make a program that collects simple data. You are to create a one-form application that will gather the following:

1. First Name
2. Last Name
3. Address
4. City
5. State
6. Zip
7. Tele

• Think about the types of controls you need to make this.

• You must include the following features: 

• The form must start in the center of the screen.
• You must have a nice title for your form.
• There must be an END button that stops your program.

You need another button that will display a message box when they click it. The message needs to say "Thanks for shopping Ron Kessler". (Be sure to replace my name with the name that is entered into the form!)

1. All the fonts/colors/alignments must look clean and orderly.
2. Be sure to add comments and document the form with your name and creation date, etc.

I am looking for the style, layout, font, and creativity on this assignment.

For this project, make me a form that collects the following information:

1. Price of an item
2. Quantity purchased
3. Sub-total
4. Sales Tax (8%)
5. Total Due

Your project must include the following:

• A button that can be clicked to compute the totals.
• The sub-totals & tax, & total due must be calculated automatically.
• The totals must be formatted to look like money.
• You must use the correct variable types in your code.

Now you are going to show off your creativity! I want you to make a project that sells me something. Make me a form for selling something you are interested in. You can sell anything you want. I will be grading you on:

• How cool your interface is.
• How functional the program is.
• The number of features you have.
• How well the program runs.
• How nice your code is.
• Your use of VB techniques we have used this semester.
• You must calculate a price, sales tax, and total due using variables to get full credit.

I want you to have fun with this one. So start working on it early!
