CSC-162 Final Project Media Library

  

Create a program that will keep track of a media library to store movies. It will store all of the data using arrays. Since we have not learned how to use files or a database the information will not be stored anywhere and will be lost once the program ends. The program will keep track of a movie’s title, actors/actresses with characters, movie length, and year of the movie. All data will be stored in arrays.

Arrays needed for Movie Library

· Title

· Length

· Year

· Rating (index value of drop down)

· Actors/characters (must be able to have more than one actor per movie)

o Example: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark

Required Controls

Ø Multiple Forms

Ø Textboxes

Ø Labels

Ø List boxes

Ø Dropdown (Combo box)

Other Requirements

Ø Use Module file

Ø Use of non-event procedures (procedures defined by you)

Ø Must prompt user on exit to make sure they want to quit the program

Ø Must prompt user on save to make sure they want to save the changes

Ø Must prompt user on delete to make sure they want to delete a media item

Ø Must use variables within the procedures and functions

Ø ALL input fields must be validated - is numeric, is the field empty etc. 

Ø All numeric fields must be converted using CInt or CDec and assigned to variables

Bonus option

Ø Store data in a file - worth up to 10 pts.

Movie Selected
