1

A) Build this form in Visual Studio (5%):

• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  -
  
  
  
  
  All textboxes must be disabled except for Course and Credits
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  




• 
  
  
  

  
  
  
  -
  
  
  
  
  The Grade Combo Box should have the following items: A, B, C, D, F
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  

2. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   B)
   
   
   
   
   Data Validation (15%):
   The program must check when clicking on the Add Course button that:
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   o
   
   
   
   
   Thecoursetextboxcannotbeempty
   
   
   
   
   
   
   o
   
   
   
   
   Thevalueforcreditsshouldbeapositivenumber
   
   
   
   
   o
   
   
   
   
   Agrademustbeselectedfromthecombobox
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   Any bad data must result in an error message.
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   




3. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   C) Process and Output (60%):
   The user enters a course name, credits, and selects a grade from the combo box, then clicks on the
   
   
   
   
   “
   
   
   Add Course
   
   
   ”
   
   
   
   
   button. After data validation, the program will do the following:
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

1. Displays the name of the course, the number of credits, the letter grade, and the points in

the output text box.






▪




Note: The points are decided based on the letter grade selected:

A = 4, B=3, C =2 , D=1, and F =0 2

2. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   Clears the course and credits textboxes, and brings the combo box back to
   
   
   
   
   “
   
   
   Select a Grade
   
   
   ”
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   




3. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   Displays the GPA, Total Credits, and Total Points in the associated textboxes.
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • 
     
     
     

     
     
     
     ▪
     
     
     
     
     Note: The GPA is calculated as the Total Points / Total Credits
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   
   • 
     
     
     

     
     
     
     ▪
     
     
     
     
     Where Total Points is the summation of multiplying points x Credits for each
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     course.
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   
   • 
     
     
     

     
     
     
     ▪
     
     
     
     
     For example:
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     Say you earned an A in BIS260 that has 3 credits A = 4 Points
     Total Points = 4 x 3 credits = 12
     Total Credits so far = 3
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     GPA = Total Points / Total Credits = 12/3 = 4 Which is an A.
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     You also earned a B in BIS270 that has 3 credits
     B = 3 Points
     Total Points = 3 x 3 + 12 (from the BIS260 above) = 21 Total Credits = 3 + 3 = 6
     GPA = 21/6 = 3.5 which is an A
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   




4. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   The letter grade of the GPA is determined using this criteria: 3.5
   
   
   
   
   –
   
   
   
   
   4.0 = A
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   3.0
   
   
   
   
   –
   
   
   
   
   3.4 = B 2.5
   
   
   
   
   –
   
   
   
   
   2.9 = C 2.0
   
   
   
   
   –
   
   
   
   
   2.4 = D < 2.0="">

   I attached a video that explains this process, and here is an example of the desired output:

4. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   D) The clear button (20%)
   When the clear button is clicked:
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   1. 
      
      
      

      
      
      
      All textboxes should be cleared
      
      
      
      
      

      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   
   2. 
      
      
      

      
      
      
      Combo box goes back to the
      
      
      
      
      “
      
      
      Select a Grade
      
      
      ”
      
      
      
      
      Item
      
      
      
      
      

      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   
   3. 
      
      
      

      
      
      
      Do not forget to reset all global variable values to zero, so next student will be able to
      
      
      
      
      

      
      
      
      

      
      
      
      compute their GPA independent from previous calculations.
      
      
      
      
      

      
      
      
      
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   




5. 
   
   
   

   
   
   
   E) Please make sure you attach a copy of your code in a word document.
