Visual C# 2010 How to Program Deitel Spam Scanner and Generic Linear Search Method Solution

(Spam Scanner) Spam (or junk e.mail) cost U.S. organization billions of dollars a year in spam-prevention software, equipment, network resources, bandwidth, and lost productivity. Research online some of the most common spam e.mail messages and words, and check your own junk e.mail folder. Create a list of 30 words and phrases commonly found in spam messages. Write an application in which the user enters an e.mail message. Then, scan the message for each of the 30 keywords or phrases. For each occurrence of one of these within the message, add a pint to the message’s “spam score.” Next, rate the likelihood that the message is spam, based on the number of points received.

22.7 (Generic Linear Search Method) Write a generic method, Search, that implements the linear-search algorithm. Method Search should compare the search key with each element in the array until the search key is found or until the end of the array is reached. If the search key is found, return its location in the array; otherwise, return -1. Write a test application that inputs and searches an int array and a double array. Provide buttons that the user can click to randomly generate int and double values. Display the generated values in a TextBox, so the user knows what values they can search for [Hint: Use (T : IComparable<T>) in the where clause for method Search so that you can use method CompareTo to compare the search key to the elements in the array.}

Visual C# 2010 How to Program 4E Deitel Chapter 24 Cash Register Microwave and Phone book Applications

24.9 Create a cash-register application modeled after the one presented in Fig. 24.37. It should alow users to enter a series of prices, then obtain the total. The Delete button should clear the current entry, and the Clear button should reset the application.

24.11 Using WPF, create a GUI that represents a simple microwave, as shown below (you do not have to provide functionality) To create the Start, Clear and numerical Buttons, you’ll need to make use of control templates. To apply a control template automatically for a control type, you can create a style (with a TargetType) that sets the Template property.

24.12 WPF allows two-way data bindings. In a normal data binding, if the data source is updated, the binding’s target will update, but not vice versa. In a two-way binding, if the value is changed in either the binding’s source or its target, the other will automatically updated. To create a two-way binding, set the Mode property to TwoWay at the binding declaration. Create a phone book application modeled after the one shown below. When the user selects a contact from the contacts list, its information should display in a Grid of TextBoxes. As the information is modified, the contacts list should display each change.

Visual C# 2010 How to Program Deitel Chapter 25 Exercise 25.6 Reflection Enlarge Picture

Create an application that has the same GUI as shown in the enclosed. The cover images are included in the folder with chapter examples. When the mouse hovers over any of the covers, that cover and its reflection should animate to a larger size.

CIS 365 Movie Database Project PostgreSQL C# Project

Project Requirements
The project for this course is designed to reinforce the material we have covered in the course as well as expose you to new technologies you are likely to encounter when working out in industry.

To complete your project, you will be required to connect to a database and display/modify its data. You will be using ADO.Net to work with the database.

The database you will be working with is a PostGres database I have distributed to the class. To access the database, you will need to download and install the PostGres software. It can be found here http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=%2Fbinary%2Fv8.2.6%2Fwin32%2Fpostgresql-8.2.6-2.zip, or you can download it from the project folder on Blackboard. To view the database schema and table contents directly, you will need to run the pgAdmin III administrator’s tool installed with the PostGres database (Start->All Programs->PostgreSQLx.x->pgAdmin III).

I would recommend browsing the database and familiarizing yourself with the media table and its associated columns/data.

The following are the project requirements:
1) The user interface must be GUI based and written using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
2) The user must be able to do the following: View the database records, Insert new database records, Modify database records and Delete database records.
3) Error trapping must be performed by the application.
4) Combo boxes must be used to provide user input options (i.e. rating, ranking fields) and to avoid input validation.
5) The application must have a menu bar. I would suggest duplicating any actions such as insert/delete which are performed via command buttons within the menu bar.
6) You should use the following controls in your project: ComboBox, TextBox, Label, Command Buttons, at least one image and radio button/check boxes. ListView and GridView controls are encouraged.

Valid choices for rating are G, PG, PG-13 and R. Valid choices for ranking are Poor, Fair, Average, Good, Excellent.

You will also find a project evaluation sheet in the project folder on Blackboard. I would suggest using it as a checklist when working on your project.

I have also placed an example project in Blackboard to demonstrate connecting to the database and pulling records from it.

I have left the actual design of the GUI and user-interaction open to your interpretation. I look forward to seeing your projects.

{
// your code goes here!
}
Include a comment box like what you coded in Part B at the very top of your program.
Step 1a: Write Your Own Program
Write a program that calculates and displays the take-home pay for a commissioned sales employee after deductions are taken. The employee receives 7% of his or her total sales as his or her gross pay. His or her federal tax rate is 18%. He or she contributes 10% to his or her retirement program and 6% to Social Security. Use the Processing Logic provided in Step 2 below as a guide. The program's output should look something like this:
Enter weekly sales: 28,000
Total sales: $28,000.00
Gross pay (7%): $1,960.00
Federal tax paid: $352.80
Social security paid: $117.60
Retirement contribution: $196.00
Total deductions: $666.40

Take home pay: $1,293.60
Press any key to continue.

Step 2: Processing Logic
Basic Logic and Flowchart
Input: Prompt the user for the weekly sales.
Process: Perform the calculations. The employee receives 7% of his or her total sales as his or her gross pay. His or her federal tax rate is 18%. He or she contributes 10% to his or her retirement program and 6% to Social Security.
Output: Display the results.
Pseudocode:
1. Declare variables
2. Accept Input – weeklySales
3. Calculate Gross Pay = Weekly Sales * .07
4. Calculate Federal Tax = Gross Pay * .18
5. Calculate Social Security = Gross Pay * .06
6. Calculate Retirement = Gross Pay * .10
7. Calculate Total Deductions = Federal Tax + Social Security + Retirement
8. Calculate Total Take Home Pay = Gross Pay – Total Deductions
9. Display the following on separate lines and format variables with $ and decimal
1. Total Sales Amount: value of weekly sales
2. Gross Pay (.07): value of gross pay
3. Federal Tax paid (.18): value of federal tax
4. Social Security paid (.06): value of social security
5. Retirement contribution (.10): value of retirement
6. Total Deductions: value of total deductions
7. Take Home Pay: value of take home pay

Step 3: Save Program
Save your program by clicking File on the menu bar and then clicking Save Program.cs, or by clicking the Savebutton on the toolbar or Ctrl + S.

Step 4: Build Solution
To compile the program, click Debug on the menu bar and then click the Build Solution or Build LabCoption. You should receive no error messages. If you see some error messages, check the code above to make sure you didn't key in something wrong. Double-click on an error to navigate to its location in the code. Once you make your corrections to the code, go ahead and click Debug >> Build Solution again.

Step 5: Execute the Program
Once you have no syntax errors, to execute or run your program, click Debug on the menu bar and then clickStart Debugging, or press the right arrow icon or the F5 key.

Step 6: Capture the Output
1. Capture a screen print of your output. (Do a PRINT SCREEN and paste into your MS Word document.)
2. Copy your commented code and paste it into the Word document.
End of Part C
END OF LAB

After you have completed your lab, complete the following for each part of the lab (if there are multiple parts).
1. Capture a screen print of your output. (Do a PRINT SCREEN and paste into an MS Word document.)
2. Copy your code and paste it into the same MS Word document that contains the screen print of your output.
3. Save the Word document as CIS170B_Lab01_B_LastName_FirstInitial.docx.
4. Upload all three projects folder and save the compressed file as CIS170B_Lab01_B_LastName_FirstInitial.Zip.
5. Submit both the compressed project file and the Word document to the weekly Dropbox for this lab.
Zipping and Submitting Your Project Files
When you submit your project files, you will want to send the entire project folder that is created by MS Visual Studio when you create the project, along with your MS Word file. Use your favorite compression tool to zip the full contents of both projects, zip the single zip file, and submit the zip file to your Dropbox.

CIS 170 Week 2 iLab 2 of 7 Decisions

Scenario/Summary
You will code, build, execute, debug, and test two programs using decision structures. The first program will calculate the shipping charge based on a given purchase amount. The second program translates a given TV channel to its call sign.

Part A: Calculate Shipping Charge
Requirements
Your mission: Write a program that gets the amount of a purchase from the user and then calculates the shipping charge, based on the following table:
$0.00 - $250.00: $5.00
$250.01 - $500.00: $8.00
$500.01 - $1,000.00: $10.00
$1,000.01 - $5,000.00: $15.00
over $5,000.00: $20.00
Sample output from program:
Enter a purchase amount to find out your shipping charges.
Please enter the amount of your purchase: 234.65
The shipping charge on a purchase of $234.65 is $5.00.
Press any key to continue . . .
Tips
Best practice: Put yourself in the place of the program. What questions would you ask a customer in order to get the best input? How would you determine the correct shipping charges if you had to make the decisions yourself? Write out the questions you would ask yourself on paper as pseudocode and/or in Visual Studio as C# comments, and then implement them one by one, testing as you go. Remember to not write too much at one time. Always add and test functionality incrementally!
You can use the pseudocode below as a guide:
Prompt the user for the sale amount
Is sale amount greater than $5,000.00?
 If so, shipping is $20.00
If not, is sale amount greater than $1,000.00?
 If so, shipping is $15.00
If not, is sale amount greater than $500.00?
 If so, shipping is $10.00
If not, is sale amount greater than $250.00?
 If so, shipping is $8.00
If not, is sale amount greater than $0.00
 shipping is $5.00
If not
 shipping is $0.00
If shipping is $0.00
 Display "Error incorrect input"
If not
 Display sale amount and shipping charge

Part B: TV Channel to Call Sign
Requirements
Your mission: Write a program that translates a TV channel (1 through 10) in your area to its respective call sign. For example, in the New York metropolitan area, channel 2 translates to WCBS. If a channel is unused in your area, tell the user that this is the case.
Sample output from program:
Translate TV Channel Number to Call Sign
Enter channel number: 1
Channel 1 is undesignated in your area
Enter channel number: 2
Call sign for channel 2 is WCBS
Enter channel number: 6
Call sign for channel 6 is WRNNDT
Tips
Best practice: Put yourself in the place of the program. What steps would you personally need to perform in order to process a channel translation yourself? Write out those steps on paper as pseudocode and/or in Visual Studio as C# comments, and then implement them one by one, testing as you go. Remember to not write too much at one time. Always add and test functionality incrementally!
Pseudocode: Although there are several valid ways to write the program, the following is an outline of one way to design the overall logic.
Declare variables for channel and call sign
Get channel number from user
Use appropriate decision structure to translate number to call sign
If number is valid in area
Print out translation
If not
Tell user this is the case

CIS 170 Week 3 iLab 3 of 7 Looping DIVE Scoring Program

DIVE Scoring Program
Your mission: The state diving commission wants to computerize the scoring at its diving competitions. You've been hired to write a program to automate the scoring of dives. Following are the requirements for the program.
After each dive, the user will be prompted to enter the:
diver's name
diver's city
degree of difficulty (ranges from 1.00 to 1.67); and scores from five judges (scores can range from 0 to 10).
If an invalid score is entered, an error message will be displayed. The user will be prompted for the score repeatedly until a valid score is entered.
The program will then display the following information:
Diver's name
Diver's city
Dive final score: This is calculated by dropping the highest and lowest of the five judges' scores. The remaining three scores are added together, and the result is divided by 3 and then multiplied by the degree of difficulty.
The program will then prompt the user if she/he wants to process another dive. The user can type "Y" or "y" to continue, and "N" or "n" to quit.
Sample output:
Diver's name: Sue Jones
Diver's city: Dallas
Dive degree of difficulty: 1.9
Invalid degree of difficulty - Please reenter (Valid Range: 1 - 1.67)
Dive degree of difficulty: 2
Invalid degree of difficulty - Please reenter (Valid Range: 1 - 1.67)
Dive degree of difficulty: 1.2
Judge #1 score: 45
Invalid score - Please reenter (Valid Range: 0 - 10)
Judge #1 score: 3
Judge #2 score: 4.5
Judge #3 score 6.7
Judge #4 score 89
Invalid score - Please reenter (Valid Range: 0 - 10)
Judge #4 score 8
Judge #5 score: 9.2
Diver: Sue Jones
City: Dallas
Dive score: 7.68
Do you want to process another dive (Y/N)? y
Diver's name: Dave Smith
Diver's city: Houston
Dive degree of difficulty: 1.1
Judge #1 score: 5.7
Judge #2 score: 6.8
Judge #3 score:: 7.6
Judge #4 score: 8.7
Judge #5 score: 6.7
Diver: Dave Smith
City: Houston
Dive score: 7.74
Do you want to process another diver (Y/N)? N

Tips
Best practice: Note that a good way to implement the code is to write a first version for only a single dive without validating input. Put yourself in the place of the program. What steps would you personally need to perform in order to process a single dive yourself? Write out those steps on paper as pseudocode and/or in Visual Studio as C# comments, and then implement them one by one, testing as you go. After you have a single dive process working, implement one of the input validations, or the outer loop that repeats the whole process. Whichever you choose, remember to not write too much at one time. Always add and test functionality incrementally!
Pseudocode: Although there are several valid ways to write the program, the following is an outline of one way to design the overall logic.
Declare and initialize variables: name, city, judge score, highest score, lowest score, total score
Loop while there are dives to process
Get diver's name and city
Get degree of difficulty
Loop to validate input
End Loop
Loop five times to get judges' scores
Loop to Validate input
End Loop
Update highest and lowest scores if need be
Add score to total score
End Loop Calculate the final score (subtract highest and lowest scores from total score, divide by 3, multiply by degree of difficulty) Display the diver's information and final dive score Prompt the user if he or she wants to process another dive
End-Loop

CIS 170 Week 4 iLab 4 of 7 Methods Phone Dialing Program

Scenario/Summary
You will code, build, and execute a program that simulates the dialing of a phone using methods.

Phone Dialing Program
Your mission: A prepaid phone service needs a program that converts alphanumeric keyboard input into a phone number. The user will input eight characters and the program will output either an error message or the translated seven-digit phone number. The input may contain digits, letters, or both. Letters can be uppercase or lowercase.
The program will perform the conversion per a standard telephone keypad layout.
0

2
A B C
3
D E F
4
G H I
5
J K L
6
M N O
7
P Q R S
8
T U V
9
W X Y Z

The program implements the following methods.
Main(): Declares seven character variables and passes these to the following methods by reference:
ProcessInput(): gets user input and performs the conversion
ShowResults(): displays the results
GetInput(): Gets seven characters from the user and stores them into the seven variables Main() has passed by reference.
ProcessInput(): Calls ToDigit() for each, passing each character variable by reference, and returns one of these codes to Main() by value:
0 if there were no input errors
-1 if there were input errors

Input errors include the following:
The first character is 0 (seven-digit phone numbers can't start with 0).
The first three characters are "555" (no phone numbers start with 555).
Any character is not a digit or an uppercase or lowercase letter.
ToDigit(): Converts a character (passed by reference) to its corresponding digit per the table above, and returns one of these codes to ProcessInput() by value:
0 if the character is valid (a digit or uppercase or lowercase letter)
-1 if the character is not valid
ShowResults(): Writes converted telephone number to the screen, inserting a dash (-) between the third and fourth digits, and accepts the seven character variables from Main() by reference.

Sample Output:
Enter a 7 character phone number: 2132121
The converted phone number is: 213-2121
Enter a 7 character phone number: 2scdfER
The converted phone number is: 272-3337
Enter a 7 character phone number: 555resw
Invalid input, please try again.
Enter a 7 character phone number: 0988765
Invalid input, please try again.
Enter a 7 character phone number: 12345678
Invalid input, please try again.
Enter a 7 character phone number: @34*uy
Invalid input, please try again.

Tips
Best practice: Don't try to write too much at a time! First, write an outline in comments based on the requirements and the pseudocode. Then, implement declaring seven char variables. Make sure to fix any compiler errors before implementing more. Then, write and call an empty GetInput() method that accepts parameters, but does nothing but return a dummy value. Make sure you can pass the seven character variables by reference without compiler errors before implementing any of the GetInput() logic. Keep working incrementally like this, testing as you go. Set breakpoints and use the debugger at each phase to make sure your logic is working correctly. Then, use the same approach to implement the other methods. Test each phase with valid input before handling any invalid conditions.

Pseudocode
ProcessInput( ) Method
Get 7 characters from the user and store them in the 7 variables that Main() has passed by reference
Call ToDigit() for each of the 7 characters
If toDigit returns an error code (-1), return an error code (-1)
If the first character is 0, return an error code (-1) to Main()
If the first three characters are 555, return an error code (-1)
If there are no errors, return 0
ToDigit ( ) Method
Convert the characters (passed from ProcessInput() by reference) to upper case
Use a switch statement to translate characters into their corresponding digits.
Write a case statement for each digit and for each valid uppercase letter
Write a default case that returns an error code (-1) for invalid letters
If there are no invalid letters, return 0
ShowResults ( ) Method
Display the Phone Number using the character variables Main() has passed by reference
Main() Method
Declare 7 char variables
Get user input by calling the GetInput() method, passing it the 7 variables by reference
Perform the conversion by calling the ProcessInput( ) method, passing it the 7 variables by reference
Display an error message or call ShowResults(), depending on the code ProcessInput() returns
