COP4226, Extra Credit 1

Due Friday, September 13 (not late until 6 am 9/14)

Use a text editor (not Visual Studio) to create a c# source file that meets the following requirements. Compile and run the file from the Visual Studio command prompt.

Add a class to the c# file that extends the Form class.

• Create a constructor that accepts a string argument. Set the text in the title bar of the form to this string. String is in the System namespace.
• Add a Panel to your form.
  • Set the background color of the panel to a System.Drawing.Color value (like Red, Green, Blue, etc.).
  • Dock the panel to the top of your form. Use the DockStyle enumeration to set the value. Use the Height and Width properties to control the original size of the form before it is docked.
  • Add a Label to the panel. Set the value of the label to your name.
• Add a Label to the form. Set the value of the label to Name: . Do not display the label at point (0,0) in the form. Use the Top and Left properties to position the label.
• Add a TextBox to the form. Align the text box next to the label. Anchor the text box to the top, left and right. Use the AnchorStyles enumeration to set the values, use the | operator to or more than one value together.
• Add a Button to the form.
  • Align the button to the bottom, right of the form.
  • Place the button near the lower, right corner of the form.
  • Add a handler for the click event of the button. When the button is clicked, display a message box with a greeting that contains the current value of the text box.
  • Place an appropriate name on the button.

Add a class to the c# file that has a main method. The Main method in a c# program can be overloaded with a String[] args parameter. This argument contains the command line arguments.

• Construct an instance of your form class.
• Call the constructor of the form class with the first command line argument, if it exists. If there is no command line argument then call the constructor with an appropriate default value.
• Use the Application class to run the application with your form as the main form.

Compiling and Running

To compile and run the program, open the command line window that can be accessed from the Visual Studio Tools folder.

Compile the c# file with the cs compiler.

Run the command with several different command line arguments. Also run it with no command line arguments.
