Homework #8
CIS 166 – Visual Basic
This exercise takes the checking account project and adds a collection. Your project
will use a single form. Include planning documents and comment your code. Copy
your project files in a folder to the R: drive, and turn in a printed copy of your code,
your planning documents, and this sheet in a folder.
Modify the Transaction class from Homework #7 by removing the shared properties
(AccountBalance, Overdrawn).
Create the Transactions class: This class will be a collection that manages
transactions. Include methods to add, remove, and select individual Transactions in
the collection. Add methods to return the AccountBalance (current balance after
processing each transaction), and Overdrawn (Overdrawn is true if the account
balance is negative, false if the account balance is positive or zero).
Create a form with the following:
• A variable for the collection. Display of the balance and all other operations
related to individual transaction data should refer to the collection.
• Radio buttons, labels and textboxes for entering data about each transaction.
• A listbox showing all transactions. When the user clicks on an item in the list box,
information about that transaction should be displayed in the appropriate
controls.
• Include a label for displaying the account balance. Notify the user if the account
is Overdrawn (either by color, label, or messagebox).
• A button to add a new transaction to the collection and the listbox, and update
the account balance label.
• A button to remove a transaction from the collection and the listbox, and display
the revised account balance.
• A button to clear textboxes and radio buttons for entering a new transaction.
• A button to exit the application.
Extra credit (5 points)
Add the following to the collection class for file handling:
• Include a read-write property FileName, to identify file location.
• Include a read-only property Saved, to identify if a member in the collection has
been added or removed since the file was read.
• Include a FileOpen method to read the file identified by FileName into the
collection. Include an argument that specifies if the contents of the new file are to
replace or be added to any existing entries.
• Include a FileSave method to write data from the collection to the file specified in
FileName.
Modify the code on your form to set a filename and read the file on form load; and
write the file to disk when the form closes.
