Programming Assignment Three

Create a VB.Net program similar to the one shown below.  You will use the Future Value function (FV) to calculate the value of an annuity.

Use proper programming techniques, name your objects, constants and your variables appropriately, comment your code adequately and submit the program via WebCT by the due date.

Name your project folder and program using your initials and the number of the program. For instance, if your name is Tom Jones, your folder and program name would be TJ03.

The FV button should calculate the future value. Refer to the website for the link to 'Function Reference'. For accurate results, divide the interest by 12 and multiply the term by 12.  That way annual rates can be entered and the future value based on monthly payments can be calculated. At this point in the class you should enter the interest rate as a decimal, for instance, 7.00% should be entered in the text box as '.07'.

The Clear button should clear the text boxes and the output label so new calculations can be made.

The Exit button should quit the program.

Put your name and class in the upper, right corner of the form.

Your code should be well-commented.

Use the proper naming conventions for all objects and variables.

A good way to see how your program should work is to run the completed program.

Be sure to:

  • include a prologue in your Declarations
  • Declare all required variables
  • include your name in the upper, right of the form
  • include a working Exit button
  • include a working Clear button
  • include a working FV button
  • future value is properly calculated
  • properly name each object
  • properly name each variable
  • format your output as needed
  • comment your code
  • submit the program files as needed
