On December 31 of last year, Lauren burst into the family living room and announced that she and Connor (her college boyfriend) were going to be married. After recovering

from the shock, her mother hugged her and asked, “When?” The following conversation resulted:

Lauren: January 21.

Mom: What?

Dad: The Now Wedding will be the social hit of the year. Wait a minute. Why so soon?

Lauren: Because on January 30 Connor, who is in the National Guard, will be shipping out overseas. We want a week for a honeymoon.

Mom: But Honey, we can't possibly finish all the things that need to be done by then. Remember all the details that were involved in your sister's wedding?

Even if we start tomorrow, it takes a day to reserve the church and reception hall, and they need at least 14 days' notice. That has to be done before we can start decorating, which takes 3 days. An extra $200 on Sunday would probably cut that 14 day notice to 7 days, though.

Dad: Oh, boy!

Lauren: I want Jane Summers to be my maid of honor.

Dad: But she's in the Peace Corps in Guatemala, isn't she? It would take her 10

days to get ready and drive up here.

Lauren: But we could fly her up in 2 days and it would only cost $1,000.

Dad: Oh, boy!

Mom: And catering! It takes 2 days to choose the cake and decorations, and Jack's Catering wants at least 5 days' notice. Besides, we'd have to have those things before we could start decorating.

Lauren: Can I wear your wedding dress, Mom?

Mom: Well, we'd have to replace some lace, but you could wear it, yes. We could order the lace from New York when we order the material for the bridesmaids' dresses. It takes 8 days to order and receive the material. The pattern needs to be chosen first, and that would take 3 days.

Dad: We could get the material here in 5 days if we paid an extra $20 to airfreight it. Oh, boy!

Lauren: I want Mrs. Jacks to work on the dresses.

Mom: But she charges $48 a day.

Dad: Oh, boy!

Mom: If we did all the sewing we could finish the dresses in 11 days. If Mrs. Jacks helped we could cut that down to 6 days at a cost of $48 for each day less than 11 days. She is very good too.

Lauren: I don't want anyone but her.

Mom: It would take another 2 days to do the final fitting and 2 more days to clean and press the dresses. They would have to be ready by rehearsal night. We must have rehearsal the night before the wedding.

Dad: Everything should be ready rehearsal night.

Mom: We've forgotten something. The invitations!

Dad: We should order the invitations from Bob's Printing Shop, and that usually takes 7 days. I'll bet he would do it in 6 days if we slipped him an extra $20!

Mom: It would take us 2 days to choose the invitation style before we could order them and we want the envelopes printed with our return address.

Lauren: Oh! That will be elegant.

Mom: The invitations should go out at least 10 days before the wedding. If we let them go any later, some of the relatives would get theirs too late to come and that would make them mad. I'll bet that if we didn't get them out until 8 days before the wedding, Aunt Ethel couldn't make it and she would reduce her wedding gift by $200.

Dad: Oh, boy!!

Mom: We'll have to take them to the Post Office to mail them and that takes a day. Addressing would take 3 days unless we hired some part-time girls and we can't start until the printer is finished. If we hired the girls we could probably save 2 days by spending $40 for each day saved.

Lauren: We need to get gifts for the bridesmaids. I could spend a day and do that.

Mom: Before we can even start to write out those invitations we need a guest list. Heavens, that will take 4 days to get in order and only I can understand our address file.

Lauren: Oh, Mom, I'm so excited. We can start each of the relatives on a different job.

Mom: Honey, I don't see how we can do it. Why, I've got to choose the invitations and patterns and reserve the church and . . .

Dad: Why don't you just take $3,000 and elope. Your sister's wedding cost me $2,400 and she didn't have to fly people up from Guatemala, hire extra girls and Mrs. Jacks, use airfreight, or anything like that.

  • Using the time estimates offered in the case create a simple timeline/schedule. This need not be detailed, just the basics are sufficient.

Considering the list of items Lauren and Mom plan for the wedding, identify a contingency plan for three key items essential to the wedding. The list may not include the three original items you suggested alternates for, but it may include the alternates since you may assume that Lauren loved your suggestions. Why are these items essential to the wedding and therefore in need of a contingency plan?

Here is assignment 11 and it must be completed and submitted by Sunday july 26 at 11:59pm Pacific Time. Start early and follow the instructions. Please note, no late assignment will be accepted. The assignment’s grade will be available in your Gradebook by the following Tuesday.

This assignment is mainly to practice Selection programming structure with creating a project in VB. That is IF ... THEN ... ELSE ... END IF and  IF ... THEN ... ELSEIF ... ELSEIF .... END IF

  1. Provide pics
  2. Create a form with two labels, one textbox and one button, similar to sample form below. We use textbox control to receive input.
  3. Here are the properties of the form and each control:
  4. Form: change the title of the form to: Selection Homework – your name
  5. Label1, Text: Enter a value for IntNumber; Name: lblIntNumber
  6. Label2, Text: Display IntNumber; Name: lblResult ; BorderStyle: Fixed 3D; AutoSize: False
  7. Textbox, Name: txtEnterIntNumber
  8. Button, Text: Compute; Name: btnCompute

9. Double-click on Compute Button; declare variables you need to store entered intNumber and calculated intNumber. Both variables data type is Integer . Then type the Selection structure code from Assignment 7 #3. Run the program and test it for intNumber values of 50, 500 and 1000. For each test the result should be: 100, 500, and 3000 respectively.

Screenshots for creating a new project in VB:

  1. When you open Visual Studio 2019 you see the following window, to create a new project in VB, click on "Create a new project" on the right:

2. In the next screen, Create a new project, you choose the correct project template. Since you created a VB project in Week 4, then the correct template: "VB Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)" will display in Recent Project Templates list, you will see a similar screenshot below, Just make sure you open VB Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) and not the one for C++. Click on Next button to continue:

3. Type project name: yourlastname-firstname-SelectionVBProgram in Project and select the VB folder that you will save VB project files in Location box. NOTE: your VB project will be saved in a folder with the project name you type in Project Name box. This will create a folder and a file with SLN extension. Both have the same project name. see below screenshot for where you enter Project name and Location:

4. To change the Location, click on three dots (...), locate the CS3 folder you created earlier for this class. in Project Location window, you should see VB folder that you created earlier in this assignment. Click once to select VB folder(do not double-click) and then click on Select Folder button. This will take you back to "Configure your new project" window. See below screenshot for selecting VB folder. Note that if you have selected VB folder to save the first VB Project, then it will automatically becomes the default folder. You will see the above screenshot. Click on Create to continue to VB Editor window.

5. Upon clicking on Create, you will be placed in VB editor window, see below:

6. From here on, click on View menu to activate Toolbox menu, expand Common Controls, Then add two Label controls, one TextBox and one Button controls on the form. Follow the instructions to name each control and add necessary text properties for each control. See below:

7. Then double-click on the Button which now should read “computer” to see the VB coding area, Form1.vb. type the code for the criteria in #9 such that when the program runs, you enter 50 for intNumber (textbox) and in the Label2 you see 100 displays, when you enter 500, result is 500 and when you enter 1000, the result is 3000. You have code in assignment 7.

Assignment 7 #3 Use the following selection structure to answer the next three questions:

If intNumber<= 100 Then

intNumber = intNumber * 2

ElseIf

    intNumber> 500 Then

    intNumber = intNumber * 3

End If

  1. Assume intNumber initially contains 1000. What value intNumber will contain after the above selection structure is executed?
