Chapter Comments

Chapter 1

1. Your instructor might skip this chapter. If so, I recommend that you take a quick look at two items from the chapter. Look at the last question and answer on page 3 to see how the appearance of a program varies with the version of Windows being used. Also, look at the discussion of "Displaying File Extensions" on pages 5 and 6. I recommend that you configure Windows to show all file extensions.

Chapter 2

1. On page 44 you are asked to run a program that was downloaded from the Pearson website for the book. All of the programs appearing in Examples and Case Studies can be downloaded from that website. There is never any need for you to manually type in the code for a program in this textbook. The website also contains all the text files, databases, and pictures needed for the exercises.

All of these files are contained in the folders Ch02, Ch03, Ch04, and so on. Each chapter file contains a subfolder named Text_Files_for_Exercises which contains the text files needed for that chapters exercises. The folder Ch09 has a subfolder named Pictures that contains picture files. The folders Ch10 and "Ch12" have a subfolder named Databases containing all the databases needed for the exercises.

Each program is contained in a folder with a name in the form chaptersectionexample number. For instance, the program in Chapter 3, Section 1, Example 2 is contained in the folder 3-1-2. Many of the programs make use of a text file in the subfolder Debug of the programs bin subfolder.

2. At the top of page 44, we explain our use of ellipses (...) as place holders for the phrase "ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs". A program will not run when the phrase is replaced with an ellipsis. However, a program will run if the phrase is simply deleted. Therefore, if you use Ctrl+C to copy code from this Student Solutions Manual and paste it into your own program, the code will execute after you delete the ellipses.

3. Every program you write requires use of the Properties window. By default, the Properties window is docked to the right side of the IDE. You might find the Properties window easier to use if you undock it while setting properties. If you double-click on the Properties windows title bar, the window will become undocked and larger. After you have finished using the Properties window, right-click on its title bar and click on Dock. Note: This process also can be used to undock (and redock) the Toolbar and the Solution Explorer window.


Chapter 3

1. Figure 3.1 on page 70 shows the settings for Options Explicit, Strict, and Infer set to On. Most instructors will recommend that the first two Options be set to On. Option Infer, on the other hand, is controversial. (The default setting is On.) If you want to learn more about the effect of Option Infer, take a quick look at the discussion of local type inference on page 236.

2. On page 77, we discuss line continuation. In earlier versions of Visual Basic, the underscore character was needed to continue a statement onto another line. Beginning with VB2010, the underscore character can be omitted when a line that obviously has a continuation (such as, when the line ends with a comma or an arithmetic operator) and therefore will seldom be needed in the programs you write. Underscore characters frequent appear in the answer section of the book and in the Student Solutions Manual following the word "Handles". This was necessary due to the fact that we must limit the length of lines in a printed page.

3. A discussion of sending output to the printer is presented at the end of Section 3.3. This material is optional. If your instructor decides to skip this topic, you might want to take a quick look (just a few minutes) to see what's involved in printing the output of a program. This material is not needed in the textbook. I included it at the request of some instructors.

Chapter 4

1. Section 4.1 is unusual in that you will not be asked to write any programs in the exercise set. However, the concepts presented in this section will be fundamental to the rest of the textbook.

2. In Chapter 3 we used list boxes to display data. In Section 4.4, we show how list boxes are used to allow the user to make selections. Another control used to make a selection from a list, a combo box, will be discussed in Chapter 9.

3. The first two sentences after Figure 4.12 on page 149 should read as follows:

When you click on an unselected item in a list box, the SelectedIndexChanged event is raised. When you click on a check box or on an unchecked radio button, the CheckedChanged event is raised.


Chapter 5

1. Except for the three case studies, Function procedures appear in many more programs than Sub procedures. The use of Sub procedures is part of good programming practice, but it is not essential. Any computer program can be written without Sub procedures. However, there are a number of programs in this textbook that would be very difficult to write without Function procedures.

2. The above comment is not intended to diminish the importance of Sub procedures. They are a fundamental component of good program design. However, if you find Sub procedures somewhat confusing at first, don't worry. You will still be able to work the exercises. You will eventually become comfortable with Sub procedures after seeing them used in subsequent chapters.

Chapter 6

1. There are two types of loops presented in this chapterDo loops and For...Next loops. A third type of loop, called a For Each loop, will be presented in Section 7.1.

2. Loops have traditionally been used to process lists of data. For instance, loops can be used with a list of numbers to compute the sum of the numbers, the average of the numbers, the largest number in the list and the smallest number in the lists. The algorithms for calculating sums and averages is obvious. In Example 4 of Section 6.3, the maximum value of the numbers in a list box are calculated with the following algorithm:

(a) Declare a variable named max.

(b) Assign a value to the variable that is guaranteed to be less than or equal to the maximum value in the list. One possibility is to set the value of max equal to the first number in the list. Another possibility requires some knowledge of the number in the list. For instance, if the number are all grades on an exam, the initial value of max can be set to 0.

(c) Use a loop to examine the numbers one at a time. Whenever a number is greater than the current value of max, change the value of max to be that number. After the loop has executed, the value of max will be the largest number in the list.

Example 4 uses an analogous algorithm to find the smallest number in the list box. These two algorithms appear several times in the textbook in both examples and exercises.

3. Section 6.3 presents techniques for processing lists of data with loops. In Section 7.2, a method for processing lists without using loops will be presented.


Chapter 7

1. A very important idea to take away from Section 7.1 is that there are four ways to fill an array. Let's illustrate the ways by filling an array with the names of the first three presidents.

(a) Dim pres() As String = {"Washington", "Jefferson", "Adams}

(b) Dim pres() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("Pres.txt"), where the text file Pres.txt is located in the program's bin\Debug folder of the program and contains three lines (each containing the name of a president).

(c) Dim strVar As String = "Washington,Jefferson,Adams"

Dim pres() As String = strVar.Split(","c)

(d) Dim pres(2) As String

pres(0) = "Washington"

pres(1) = "Jefferson"

pres(2) = "Adams"

In the first three ways, the array is declared and sized automatically at the same time it is filled. The second and third ways will be the most used in this book.

2. Section 7.3 is perhaps the most challenging section in the book. However, the techniques presented in this section are very powerful and are heavily used later in the book with text files and databases. The techniques also are presented in Section 8.1 in a slightly different form. Some instructors will skip Section 7.3 and rely solely on Section 8.1.

3. Some important text files used in this chapter are as follows: a. Baseball.txt: contains statistics for all of the players in the major league who had at least 350 at bats in 2009. b. Justices.txt: contains all people who served on the U.S. Supreme Court prior to May 2010. c. SBWinners.txt: contains all Super Bowl winners up to and including 2010.

Chapter 8

1. The two sections in this chapter are independent of each other.

2. The preliminaries section at the beginning of Section 8.1 can be omitted if you covered Section 8.3. The techniques presented in the preliminaries will take a fair amount of effort to master. However, the payoff will be substantial.

3. Section 8.1 shows some modern techniques for combining lists of data. In earlier versions of Visual Basic, these tasks could only be carried out with complicated algorithms involving loops.


4. Some important data files used in this chapter are as follows: a. Baseball.xml: contains statistics for all of the players in the major league who had at least 350 at bats in 2009.

b. Justices.txt: contains all people who served on the U.S. Supreme Court prior to the summer of 2010. Justice Stevens retired in the summer of 2010. If you want to update the file after his replacement is named, change the last entry in his record to 2010 and add a record for the person replacing him. c. Senate111.txt: contains the composition of the U.S. Senate as of May 1, 2010. d. USPres.txt: contains the names of all U.S.

Chapter 9

1. Most of Chapter 9 is not needed in the remainder of the book. However, the chapter shows how to use several tools that are familiar to you from major programs you have used.

2. Programs written by professional programmers often use more than one form. Section 9.3 shows how this is done. However, since this is an introductory book, all programs outside of Section 9.3 use only one form.

Chapter 10

1. The steps for binding a database to a program may look complicated at first. However, after you get used to it you will find it easy and quick to carry out. Also, when you work several exercises using the same database, you can just bind the database once and write a different event procedure for each exercise.

2. Some important databases used in this chapter are as follows: a. Baseball.accdb: contains statistics for all of the players in the major league who had at least 350 at bats in 2009. b. Justices.accdb: contains all people who served on the U.S. Supreme Court prior to the summer of 2010. c. UN.accdb: contains the composition of the United Nations as of May 1, 2010. d. Exchrate.accdb: contains currency exchange rates in December 2009.

Chapter 11

1. This chapter is independent of the rest of the book.


Chapter 12

1. The programs in the chapter are not created with Visual Basic. Most people will use Visual Web Developer that is contained on the DVD packaged with this book. However, if you have a complete version of Visual Studio, you do not have to install Visual Web Developer. The Visual Studio File menu contains the items New Web Site and Open Web Site that you can use to create and access Web programs.

2. Be sure to read the solution to the practice problem in Section 12.3. It shows you how to save a lot of time when writing the programs for the exercise set.
