Develop A Windows Application For T

Develop A Windows Application For T

IEE 305, Homework#. (100 Points) Develop a Windows application for the project developed in Homework #3. You should use the Access solution file given ‘HW3_Project_Solution.accdb’ to complete this homework. Do not use your own developed Access file. For this part of the project, you will need to incorporate all the ACCESS tables and queries into a Windows application. Students should submit the following: The design view, the code view, and the execution view of each Windows form in the Windows application for your project.

If a Windows form displays the query, give the SQL statement view or the Query Builder view of the query. Students should follow the example of the Windows application for the healthcare database shown in the textbook and lectures to develop the Windows application. When submitting, you only need to submit a Word document with all the required screenshots (design view, the code view, and the execution view of each Windows form). You must order your screenshots with FormMain being first, then in alphabetical order based on the table name. E.g., FormMain, FormAssign, FormCourse, etc. Otherwise, points will be deducted.

Extra Help: For the FormMain, it should have a list of radio buttons that can lead a user to all the sub forms. Each of the sub forms represents a table in the solution database. As we have 7 tables in the database, we will have 7 sub forms for this homework. In each sub form of the tables, the data of the corresponding table should be presented on top.

If there are any queries related to the table, you should also create a separate form for each query and handle the transitions between the forms. An example of the design view is given below: Windows Form for the Queries: As we have learned from the class that the built-in functions or commands of Access are different from that of Visual Studio. Therefore, if any queries in the solution implement the features given in p.10 of Lecture Notes 4.5, you should build the query in Visual Studio and provide screenshot(s) of your Query Builder. If any of the queries require grouping of records, the “Group By” field of Query Builder can be found by right-clicking the table pane and you will then find the “Add Group By” option.

Paper For Above instruction

The objective of this assignment is to develop a comprehensive Windows application that integrates all tables and queries from an existing Access database, specifically ‘HW3_Project_Solution.accdb.’ The development process requires meticulous implementation of user interfaces for database interaction, leveraging Visual Studio’s capabilities beyond those of Access, and adhering to the structure demonstrated in the provided healthcare database example in class and textbook resources.

The primary structure of the application must include a main form (FormMain) equipped with radio buttons, enabling users to navigate seamlessly to each of the seven sub-forms corresponding to the database tables. Each sub-form is designed to display the data from its associated table at the top, facilitating straightforward user interactions such as viewing, adding, updating, or deleting records. The design should be intuitive, following best practices for database-driven Windows forms, ensuring clarity and usability.

In addition to tabular data forms, forms for queries must be created. These query forms should display results generated by specific SQL statements or query builder configurations that replicate the functionalities specified in Lecture Notes 4.5, page 10. Any groupings required within queries should be implemented using the "Group By" feature in Query Builder, accessible via right-clicking the table pane and selecting "Add Group By." Screenshots of the Query Builder view are essential to demonstrate accurately constructed queries, especially those involving record grouping.

Following the project submission guidelines, students must prepare a Word document comprising all required screenshots organized meticulously in the following order: first, the design, code, and execution views of FormMain; then, in alphabetical order by table names (e.g., FormAssign, FormCourse, etc.) for the related sub-forms and query forms. Each screenshot must clearly depict the form’s design layout, its underlying code, and its runtime appearance, ensuring complete documentation of the development process.

This assignment not only assesses the ability to translate Access database functionalities into a Windows Forms application but also evaluates skills in UI design, SQL query construction within Visual Studio, and proper form navigation management. Adherence to these instructions and careful preparation of the submission will contribute to a successful demonstration of competency in Windows application development integrated with database management.
