We Were asked in clas to create a pay roll applictation that will take in hours worked for 2 weeks work. It also had to claculate the amount of over time pay that should be recieved if a person worked more than 40 hours per week. this rate of overtime was calculated at 1.2 times the usual rate of pay, which can be changed at any time.

We then ahd to do several extension to which i have managed to get the first 3 done.


1) Add a button which when clicked outputs a wage slip as a simple text file.
a. Try using Intellisense to insert the code for creating a text file (Edit >
Intellisense > Insert Snippet)
b. Something like: Streamwriter.(“wageslip.txt”,true)
2) Improve on this by creating a .html file instead of plain text (uses the same
process)
3) Have the program create a file using the employee name & current date as
part of the filename.
4) *Work out how to read in the employee timesheet data from a text / csv file*
5) **Implement this as a batch system (process a list of employee timesheet
records from a csv file.

If anyone has any idea how to do the last 2, please comment.

Pay Roll Questions

1. All the different data types in the projet are:

• Double
• Decimal
• String

2. Double means it is not an integer and does not have to be a whole number

Decimal means it is not a whole number and can be used in calculations

String is a line of charcators with no numerical value attached. they nust be converted to be used in calculations

3. As double is used because it may not be a whole number

Decimal is used because it more than likely will not be a whole number

String is used as it can hold any form of data type easily which can be converted in to numberical values if needed.

4. It is used to conver numerical charactors of string in to numerical values such as integers

5.Identifys the form that you are coding in.

6.If Then Else selection

7.If an result is true, then a set of code is carried out, if it is false, another differnet code is carried out.

8. This is an unfinished project as there is

• No Tax taken off
• Only one person can be added at a time
• If you leave out a box, an error occurs

Hyperlinks

In this capter i learned how to creat a hyperlink to ether a new wab site or to a place in the current web site.

link to a new web page.

This is simply done using the syntax:

This is an example of some of the work that i have done recently. I have complied a webite of some of the features that i have learned to date. these include headings, background colour, bold writing, subscript and superscript text. I have also used 2 seperate types of paragraphs.

In my next post i will detail hyperlinks and tables
