Unless you're required to code it yourself, there is a very good tutorial and explanation on how to use the built in features for login here:

Well bummer, I was hoping I could edit my previous post and take out my suggestions.

NOBODY will do your work for you. First of all the forum rules prohibit it, secondly it doesn't help you learn didly squat. I'm offended that you even asked much less accused me of trying to run up a number that means nothing to me, to provide some gain that isn't there. But how about this, not only will I not help you further no matter how much effort you put in at this point I'll make my own statement.

You sir are lazy and won't do your own research or work!

some other free tutorials
http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/NET/vbNET.html

the only way to start is to start reading and messing with some of this stuff yourself. you can get visual studio for free if you don't have it which is great for beginning.

You get the express editions

how many ways do we have to tell you that we can't help you in this area? Search final project ideas in daniweb and see the hundreds of exactly the same posts or search google

IS final project ideas

c# final project ideas

you ask us to come up with ideas (which we did but you ignore) and then we say well we can't help you and you do what? ask the same thing again . . .

You're going to get out of this exactly what you put into it, and it sounds like you don't want to put much into it. There is no magic bullet, no project that anyone in the IT industry is going to say "wow that's complicated" that you can do easily. So pick a generic easy task and go try to get your grade. Then when you get serious, work on a project all on your own that isn't easy, simple or small to try to help yourself

I'm newer to vb.net so the others might change this a bit

Private Shared Sub GetInstalled()
         Dim uninstallKey As String = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
         Using rk As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(uninstallKey)
             For Each skName As String In rk.GetSubKeyNames()
                 Using sk As RegistryKey = rk.OpenSubKey(skName)
                     Console.WriteLine(sk.GetValue("DisplayName"))
                 End Using
             Next
         End Using
     End Sub

You don't mention if you have to use substring to get the extension or if that is just the method to grab it you decided to use so I'll ask another question . . .

Is there any reason you are not using path.getextension() ?

extension = Path.GetExtension(fileName);

You can get this info from a google search on C# path.getextension or msdn is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.path.getextension.aspx

(wondering because .aspx is four while .doc is three etc.)

LizR - you are by far the most patient and understanding person I've met in a long time. (well basically we have not met but you get the idea . . .) This guy basically trashes you and you still continue to try to help him. You're amazing - besides that I think you live in the forums but that's another topic.


now mus1010

Either you're not reading your textbook or your textbook bites the big tree branch. If you do what LizR suggests and first write it down in pseudocode or plain english that should help you with the logic which is the hardest part believe it or not.

get an apple
decide to eat the apple or not
if not eat the apple then something_else()
if eat the apple then this()

or whatever, just write down what you need. You can post that if you want and we can make sure your logic is correct. Otherwise if your text is really that bad then look for other c# loop tutorials - there is plenty here to help you if you don't understand them at all - in fact there might be more information here than I really want to tell you but hey, I'm forced to be as kind as LizR (you should apologize, she is only trying to help you the best way. If we give you an answer plainly then you won't learn. And don't get frustrated, …

You run grossPay = hoursWorked * payRate

payRate is defined above it but hoursWorked is not - therefore it looks like you're running

grossPay = 0 * (the value of the textbox)

-- move your hoursWorked = textboxHours.Text to above the grossPay = hoursWorked * payRate and see if that helps.
