Basic User Interface in C#

Program Description: Basic User Interface

This program creates the basic user interface code for that can be used in the following week’s iLab assignments. The assignment will help you get started using the programming environment and some practice with coding. You will also be able to re-use much, if not all, of the code in later assignments.

In this program, you will create the following methods:

1. Main method, which is the starting point for the execution of the program.

2. DisplayApplicationInformation, which will provide the program user some basic information about the program.

3. DisplayDivider, which will provide meaningful output separator between different sections of the program output.

4. TerminateApplication, which provides a program terminate message and terminates the application.

5. GetInput, which is a general function that will prompt the user for a specific type of information, then return the string representation of the user input.

Using these methods, you will construct a program that prompts the user for the following:

1. Your name, which will be a string data type

2. Tour age, which will be an integer data type

3. The gas mileage for your car, which will be a double data type

Also, note that the program should contain a well-documented program header and the methods will be created in the classes as defined in the pseudocode.

To use a method in the Main method that is defined in another class use the DOT notation. For example, to prompt for the name the DisplayDivider and GetInput methods use the following syntax:

ApplicationUtilities.DisplayDivider("Get Name");

name = InputUtilties.GetInput("Name");

Pseudocode

//Program Header

//Program Name: Basic User Interface

//Programmer: Your Name

//CIS247, Week 1 Lab

//Program Description: PROVIDE A DESCRIPTITON OF THE PROGRAM

Class Program

Start main

//declare variables input as string name as string

age as integer galMileage as double

call DisplayApplicationInformation call DisplayDivider(“Start Program”)

call DisplayDivider(“Get Name”)

set name = GetInput(“Your Name”)

call DisplayDivider(“Get Age”)

set input = GetInput(“Your Age”)

set age = convert input to integer

call DisplayDivider(“Get Mileage”)

set input = GetInput(“Gas Mileage”)

set galMileage = convert input to double call TerminateApplication

end main program

End Class Program

display “**************** “ + outputTitle + “****************”

end procedure
