Spring 2007 – Visual Basic Project
20 points
Out: March 30, 2007
Due: April 20, 2007

This project is to create a simple application using Visual Basic. The application will be chosen by you within the following guidelines. Your application must include user input to compute one of several possible results. For example, your application might ask for an amount of U.S. dollars and compute the equivalent amount in some other currency. Which currency to convert to is determined by the user from among a number of choices.

Whatever application you choose, it must have the following components:

• The main form window title must be descriptive

• There must be a heading label.

• One input must be entered via a TextBox.

• One input must be made from a list of restricted choices (group of RadioButtons or ComboBox). There must be at least 5 choices and there must be a default choice.

• All inputs should be labeled.

• One Button that when clicked will cause the result to be calculated from the current inputs.

• The result must be displayed either within the application window (using Label or TextBox) or in a MsgBox with appropriate labeling.

Of course, this is just a minimum. On the other hand, if you cannot think of an application, you can implement the currency exchange application shown below that meets the project specification. (Note that if you implement this application, you are responsible for looking up the current exchange rates for whatever currencies you wish.)

To submit this project for grading, email the Form1.vb and Form1.Designer.vb files of your project as attachments to the instructor (hwang@evansville.edu). It is due by 4:30pm, otherwise it will be considered late.
