Funny Time Program

 

1. Create a program that will calculate the cost of renting clowns and magicians for birthday parties. Clowns cost $25 per hour and Magicians cost $50 per hour.  Prepare a TOE Chart before beginning to build the interface.
.
2. Create a new application and name the project "Clowns".
.
2.1 The name of the form should be frmclowns.
2.2 Change the form’s Text property to “Funny Time”.
2.3 Set the WindowState property to maximized.
2.4 Assign the filename clowns to the form file object.
2.5 Set the project’s startup form to frmclowns.
.
3. In the center of the top of the form, create a label named lbltitle and change the text property to Funny Time Inc.
.
3.1 Set the TextAlign property of the lbltitle object to MiddleCenter.
3.2 Set the Font property so the text is large enough to fill the label box you drew.
3.3 Set the BorderStyle property to Fixed3D.
3.4 Create two graphics to hold icons on either side of the lbltitle.  Use Google to locate pictures of clowns or balloons.
.
4. Create four text boxes, with labels above them to hold the number of clowns and magicians and the hours they will perform.
.
4.1 The text boxes should be called txtcnumber, txtmnumber, and txtchours, txtmhours.
4.2 Set the Font property so the text is large enough to fill the text boxes and the label boxes you drew.
4.3 There is no need to name the labels.
.
5. Create label boxes to hold the total hours, total number, and total dollars for the party.
.
5.1 Set the BorderStyle property to Fixed3D.
5.2 Set the Font property so the text is large enough to fill the label box you drew.
5.3 Set the TextAlign property toMiddleCenter.
5.4 Place labels above these labels to identify them.
.
6. Create a Calculate button and an Exit button, both at the bottom of the application.
.
6.1 Call them btnexit and btncalc and set the button’s text to the words “E&xit” and “&Calculate” without the quotes.  Be sure to include access keys.
6.2 Pick an appropriate font and size for the words Exit and Calculate.
6.3 Double click on the Exit button to enter the code window and add the appropriate code to the exit button to end the application.
6.4 Declare short datatype variables for number of clowns and magicians, and the hours for clowns and magicians.
6.5 Declare a decimal variable to hold the total dollars.
6.6 Declare constants for clown price of $25 per hour and magician price of $50 per hour.
6.7 Double click on the Calculate button to enter the code window and add the code to convert each of the text values to the variables, e.g cnumber = Convert.ToInt16(txtcnumber.Text)
6.8 Calculate the total hours and total performers as well as the total dollars.
6.9 Format the output of the cost as currency.
.
7. Set the Form’s AcceptButton property to the Calculate button.
8. Double click anywhere on the form object and in the code window set the focus to the first number box by adding the following code in the frmclowns_Load section, txtcnumber.Focus()
9. Save the solution, then start and test the application. Make sure you test each button. Close the application.
