Project Description

The Course Project is simply the cumulative result of completing Labs 1 through 7. In Lab 1, you will create a basic PayrollSystem Web application that represents a payroll processing website for a company. Each subsequent lab will add more features to this application. By the time that you complete Lab 7, you will have a finished Web application with a good deal of functionality. You will be able to log in to your application, enter personnel records to be stored in a database, retrieve and display previously entered records, perform transactions, monitor user activity, and send e-mail notifications of errors.

After you complete Lab 7, but before submitting the project, you should thoroughly test all Web pages and the functionality added to the PayrollSystem website over all of the labs. Also, review the feedback that you have received from your instructor on the previous labs and correct any deficiencies noted. After all problems have been fixed and everything from Labs 1–7 works correctly, simply zip up the entire PayrollSystem website after completing Lab 7 and submit it as your Course Project.

The following sections summarize the features that you will add to the website each week. All of these features should be present and working in the Course Project in order for you to receive full credit.

See the Syllabus section “Due Dates for Assignments & Exams” for due date information.

Guidelines

Week 1: Annual Salary Calculator ASP.NET Web Application

· In this lab, you will create a simple ASP.NET Web application using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 that displays the text “Hello, World” on the home page. You will also add a page and build an Annual Salary Calculator on that page. This will be used as the foundation for all subsequent labs.

Week 2: User Input Web Pages

· In this lab, you will create an ASP.NET Web application main form containing a list of hyperlinks and images. You will also add a form with five text boxes and a Submit button. You will use the form to send information to a second form (which you will also create), where data from the first form will be displayed so it can be verified by the user.

Week 3: User Activity Monitoring

· In this lab, you will save user activity data in a database. A record of each user’s IP address and the current date and time will be created whenever a user visits the Personnel form. You will be able to view a list of all previous user activity records. You will add validation to the form added in Week 2 to validate the user input.

Week 4: Web Forms With Database Interaction

· In this lab, you will start with the form created in Week 2 and add functionality to INSERT records into a database table and SELECT records for display to the user. You will also add a search feature to search for records to display.

Week 5: Transaction Processing

· In this lab, you will add transaction processing to the database INSERT functionality from the previous week to make it operate more reliably. Changes to the database will be committed (made permanent) only if all operations in a transaction are completed successfully. If any operation in a transaction fails, the entire transaction will be rolled back (undone) so that the database is left in its original state. This prevents the storing of incomplete or inconsistent information in the database when an error occurs. You will add client-side validation controls. You will also add an editable list of database records that will allow the user to view, update, and delete employee records.

Week 6: Login and Security Levels

· In this lab, you will create a login form, use the login control, validate a user based on the login name and password, and allow access to the system if it’s authorized or prevent the user from accessing the system if unauthorized. You will add the ability to add new users, modify existing users, delete users, and view all users.

Week 7: Error Notification via E-mail

· In this lab, you will incorporate error handling into the log-in process so that a notice of each invalid login attempt is automatically e-mailed to the technical support staff. You will add additional security features to make the Web application more secure. You will also add security logic to specific forms in the Web application.

ilabs

ilab 1

All files are located in the subdirectory of the website. The website should function as follows: You should have a page that, when run, displays a page showing the text “Greetings and Salutations. I will master ASP.NET in this course.” You should also have a second page that is the annual salary calculator that properly calculates the annual salary, given an hourly rate and the number of hours projected to be worked in a year. Once you have verified that both pages work, save your website, zip up all files, and submit in the Dropbox.

Please watch the tutorial before beginning the iLab.

iLab Steps

NOTE

Submit your assignment to the Dropbox, located at the top of this page. For instructions on how to use the Dropbox, read these step-by-step instructions.

(See the Syllabus section “Due Dates for Assignments & Exams” for due dates.)

In this iLab, you will create an Annual Salary Calculator ASP.NET Web application using Visual Studio.NET.

For the iLabs, you will use the Microsoft Visual Studio software application. You have two options for using this application:

You may use a copy of Visual Studio that is installed on your local PC. If you do not already have this software, there is a link in the Syllabus (in the Textbook and Required Materials section) that you can follow to obtain a copy at low or no cost through the Student Software Fulfillment Center.

You may run Visual Studio over the Web from the iLab (Citrix) server. Instructions for using the iLab (Citrix) server are on the iLab page under Course Home.

Throughout this course, you will be creating a Web application for a fictitious company called ACIT (Academy of Computing and Information Technology). To get familiar with the development environment, follow the Lab Steps to create a simple Annual Salary Calculator ASP.NET Web application. You will be adding to this application each week.

Overview of Fictitious Company

Image of Academy of Computing and Innovation Technology

The Academy of Computing and Information Technology is a mid-size indie (independent) film studio that is in need of a payroll system. We have outgrown our current system, a simple spreadsheet, to the extent that it takes three people over one week to pay everyone on a timely basis.

Overview of Our Company

We have over 2,000 full-time and part-time employees. We produce comedy, fiction, and science fiction films with budgets of $250K–$20 million. We have produced over 50 films since we first began 20 years ago.

We are very profitable and have strong links to many of the industry’s most powerful people.

Current Payroll System

Our current system consists of mostly manual processing using an MS Excel spreadsheet to control who gets paid.

The system consists of the three payroll staff members reviewing each of the full-time staff members’ wages, calculating how many hours they worked based on their hourly rate, and paying them by issuing a check.

The check needs to be entered in another worksheet for each of the people who were paid so that we can tell when it went out, how much it was for, and if it was cashed or not. If a [Date_Cashed] is entered, we deduct that amount from our working payroll capital account to track how much money we have for payroll.

This process is then repeated for all part-time staff and independent contractors.

Our Needs

We need a more automated way to pay our staff. We need to use the same logical flow as a basis, yet improve on it by having a way to

easily calculate the projected annual salary based on rate and number of hours;

search, enter, update, and delete staff and independent employee information in one place;

search, enter, update, and delete payroll automation information for the employee to set up recurring payments or one-time payments;

produce reports to show the following: (a) summary of who got paid per week, (b) summary of all payments per week, (c) details of any employee to-date (allow entry of a specific employee ID);

allow transactions to be rolled back in case we pay someone too much;

make use of transaction processing in case the system unexpectedly shuts down;

ensure the system is secure (logins required);

allow only authorized payroll personnel to control all aspects of the system;

allow only authorized payroll personnel to view transactions and user activity;

allow only authorized payroll personnel to e-mail reports to users using the e-mail on file; and

incorporate error handling into all processes in the system and e-mail any errors to the technical support people.

Required Software

Microsoft Visual Studio.Net

Access the software at https://lab.devry.edu.

Steps: 1, 2, and 3

STEPs 1–3: Create Website and Home Page

5. Now we will modify the page to add proper labels and give the textboxes names.

Change the text displayed in each label so that the first label displays Annual Hours; the second label should display Rate; and the third label should display $.

To change the text displayed, click on the label control. This causes the property window to show all properties of the label, then change the Text property of the control in the Properties window.

Set the ID property of the top textbox to txtAnnualHours.

Set the ID property of the second textbox to txtPayRate. Set the ID of the bottom label (the one we set the text property to “$”) to lblAnnualSalary. (Note: We set these IDs as we will be accessing the control values from the C# code. You can set the button ID and the other two labels’ ID properties as well, but we won’t be accessing them from our code.)

Change the button text to display Calculate Salary. (Hint: To change the text displayed as the button label, change the Text property of the button.) The ID of the button should be btnCalculateSalary.Your form should now look like the screen displayed below.

Image of calculator screen with blank values

This code will be called each time the user presses the button. It is important to remember that code in the code behind page executes on the server, not on the user’s browser. This means that when the button is pressed, the page is submitted back to the Web server and is processed by the ASP.Net application server on the Web server. It is this code (between the { and } in this method) that will execute on the server. Once it is done executing, the page will be sent back to the browser. Any changes we make to the page or controls on the page will be shown to the user in the updated page.

In this method, add code that will get the text in the txtAnnualHours text box, convert it to a Double, and store it in a double variable.

Add code that will get the text from the txtPayRate text box, convert it to a Double, and store it in another variable.

Create a third variable of type Double and set its value to the annual hours variable value multiplied by the rate double variable value.

Take this resulting value and convert it to a string (text), and update the lblAnnualSalary Text property with this new string.

Let’s look at a similar example. After reviewing this example, write the code needed to calculate the annual salary.

CostOfRoom Calculator is the alternate example, which demonstrates the skills you need to complete this assignment. See video at the top of this lab document and screenshots below.

What follows is an example of code-behind the Calculate button for the CostOfRoom Calculator:

Code-behind the calculate button

A control’s property can be accessed by simply using the control ID followed by a . followed by the name of the property. For example, the value stored in the Text property of the txtAnnualHours control can be accessed by using this: txtAnnualHours.Text. Text properties on controls are of type string.

The output of the CostOfRoom calculator is shown in the screen below with Length, Width, Cost Per Square Unit labels and input boxes, and the Calculations button.

Image of output CostOfRoom Calculator with length, width, cost per square unit values and calculations.

Use small values for length and width.

Use large values for length and width and see the formatting of the output.

Image of CostOfRoom calculator with revised values for length, width, cost per square unit and calculations.

To convert a string to a Double you can use the Convert class. If we had a string variable called str1 and a double variable called myNumber, the C# code to convert this would be as follows:

When converting from one type to another, we are assuming that the value stored in the type being converted is compatible with the type with which we are converting. In the example above, if the value stored in str1 was not a type compatible with a Double (for example, tiger), an error would be raised.

All of the base types in C# (double, int etc) have a ToString() method that you can call. If you had a double variable that you wanted to convert to a string and set that string to my label’s text, you would do the following:

This would take whatever value was stored in the myNumber Double and convert it to a string.

Set your new form as the start page by clicking once on the form name in the Solution Explorer and then right-clicking on the form name and selecting Set as Start Page. You can now test your application and make sure it works correctly as you did with the Hello World form above. You can switch back and forth between which form runs when you run your application by setting the different forms as the start page. The final result should look something like the screen below with the Annual Hours, Pay Rate, Calculate Salary button, and result.

Image of result screen Annual Hours, Pay Rate, Calculate Salary button, and result.

Once you have verified that your project works, save your project, zip all files, and submit in the Dropbox.

NOTE: Please download and review the Doc Sharing files Web Lab and Citrix.zip, which contain information on how to FTP to the University website and how to use Citrix for the assignments.

In this lab, we will demonstrate how to create an ASP.NET Web application having a single form with five text boxes and a Submit button. We will use the form to send information to a second form where data from the first form will be displayed. We will also add a main navigation page with two different ways of linking to other pages.

Submit your assignment to the Dropbox, located at the top of this page. For instructions on how to use the Dropbox, read these step-by-step instructions.

(See the Syllabus section “Due Dates for Assignments & Exams” for due dates.)

All files are located in the subdirectory of the website. The website should function as follows: When you run the website, you will be presented with a page (frmMain) that allows you to go to the different parts of the website that you are developing. You will be able to go to the Annual Salary Calculator that we added last week and to the data entry form for personnel this week. When you go to the personnel data entry page, you should be able to enter data in the frmPersonnel form and have it displayed in the frmPersonnelVerified form. Your salary calculator will also be available from the main page and will calculate properly when you enter data. Each page should link back to the main page via the ACIT logo hyperlink. Once you have verified that it works, save your website, zip up all files, and submit in the Dropbox. Each page (except frmMain) will include the ACIT logo that is hyperlinked back to frmMain.

Required Software

Microsoft Visual Studio.Net

Access the software at https://lab.devry.edu.

Steps: 1, 2, and 3

Lab Steps

STEP 1: Create Web Forms

Open the payroll system website from Lab 1.

2. Create a new form called frmPersonnel. To do this, pull down the website menu, select Add New Item, then type frmPersonnel.aspx for the name.

And you will get the following screen:

Change Default.aspx to frmPersonnel.aspx.

And get the following Screen:

3. Go to the Design mode of the form by clicking the Design tab (as opposed to the Source tab).

4. From the ToolBox, drag and drop an Image control.

5. Next, right click on the Project folder name in the Solution folder. Click Add-> New Folder and name the folder Images.

6. Right click on the Images folder and choose Add->Existing item. We will add our logo to our Images folder. Be sure to choose All Files from the Files of Type and navigate to where you saved the image. The logo image is located in Doc Sharing in our course for you to download to your own machine or upload to Citrix.

7. After you have loaded the logo to the project, select the image control on your page.

8. On the Properties window, choose the ImageURL property and the ellipse to the right of this property to open a Browse dialog box and add the ACITLogo to the page.

9. The Logo should appear on your page as shown.

10. From the ToolBox, drag-and-drop a Panel control underneath the logo image.

11. Click the A/Z button in the Properties dialog so that all of the properties are sorted alphabetically.

12. Change the height property of the Panel to 250px and the width to 300px. To do this, select the Panel, then go to the Properties pane (usually in the lower right corner of the Visual Studio.NET Design view; if you don’t see it, click the View Properties window OR press the F4 key). Scroll down the list, then type the value in for each property.

13. Change the panel’s HorizontalAlign property to left.

14. Save your work!

15. From the ToolBox, drag-and-drop five Labels and five TextBoxes onto the Panel. To make each Label/TextBox pair appear on a separate line, put the cursor after each TextBox, then press the [ENTER] key (much like you would a with a word processing program).

Rename the Label’s properties as defined below. You can do this by selecting each Label, scrolling to the property, and then typing in the value.

Property Value

Label1 – Text First Name:

Label2 – Text Last Name:

Label3 – Text Pay Rate:

Label4 – Text Start Date:

Label5 – Text End Date:

Rename each TextBox’s property as defined below. You can do this by selecting each TextBox, scrolling to the property, and then typing in the value.

Property Value

TextBox1 – (ID) txtFirstName

TextBox2 – (ID) txtLastName

TextBox3 – (ID) txtPayRate

TextBox4 – (ID) txtStartDate

TextBox5 – (ID) txtEndDate

Change each button’s ID and Text properties as defined below. You can do this by selecting each button, scrolling to the property, and then typing in the value.

Property Value

Button1 – (ID) btnSubmit

Button1 – Text Submit

Button2 – (ID) btnCancel

Button2 – Text Cancel

Save your work!

16. If you would like, you can make the labels the same size by selecting the first label, pressing and holding Control, and selecting the rest of the labels. Then, choose Format-> Make Same Size ->Width as shown below:

17. When we click the Submit button, we want the contents of the form to be passed to another form. In the Solution Explorer, right click on the project name and choose Add-> Add New Item. Choose Web Form and name the form frmPersonnelVerified.aspx.

18. On this form, we will add an image and panel like the previous form. Within the panel, add a label and a textbox. The width of the panel should be 650 and the height 250. The label should say Information to Submit. The textbox ID should be txtVerifiedInfo. Also, change the TextMode Property of the textbox to MultiLine, the height to 80, and the width to 400.

Click the Design tab for the frmPersonalVerified.aspx, and add a Label and a TextBox. Set the properties as follows:

Property Value

Label – Text Information to submit

Textbox – (ID) txtVerifiedInfo

Textbox – Height 80px

Textbox – Width 400px

Textbox – TextMode Multiline

19. Next, we will write the code that will load the information from the frmPersonnel page to the frmPersonnelVerified page. Be sure that your cursor is not selecting the panel. Double click on the blank part of the page to open the page_load event handler and add the following code.

20. Return to the frmPersonnel Web page, click the btnSubmit button, go to the PostBackUrL property and set it to frmPersonalVerified.aspx by clicking the ellipse to the right of the property to open a Browse dialog, and click frmPersonalVerified.aspx there. This will insert the correct path to the PostBackUrl Property.

21. Test your Web page. On the frmPersonnel.aspx page, right click and choose View in Browser. Test the application with test data and press Submit. You should see your test data appear in the frmPersonnelVerified page.

STEP 2: Adding Navigation

22. Add a new Web form called frmMain.aspx

Add the ACIT Logo to the top of the form and a panel below the image with height = 350 and width = 500.

Add an ImageButton control, then, space over, and next, add a LinkButton.

23. For the Image button, you will need to download an image from the Internet or create an image yourself. Right click on the Images folder and choose Add->Existing item and browse to add the image that you want to use as part of your project.

24. Click on the ImageButton and the ImageUrl property. Then, select the image that you added to the project. Modify the text of the LinkButton to Annual Salary Calculator.

25. Set the PostBackURL property for the image and the link to the frmSalaryCalculator.aspx from last week.

26. Right click on the frmMain.aspx and choose Set As Start Page.

27. Test your Web page. Press F5, or click the Start Debugging (Citrix users, press Start Without Debugging) button on the toolbar, or pull down the Debug menu and select Start Debugging. Test your link. Does it take you to the Annual Salary Calculator page?

NOTE: To execute the application, you have these options:

If you are using Citrix, press CTRL + F5 to Start Without Debugging. You will not be deducted points for this part

If you are using a standalone version, press F5 to Start with Debugging, or you can press CTRL + F5 to Start Without Debugging.

On your own:

Repeat this process to create an image and link for the frmPersonnel.aspx page. Remember to set the PostbackURL properties.

On the frmPersonnel page, make the ACIT logo be a link that will take the user to the frmMain page. Use an ASP.Net Hyperlink control to do this task.

Update the frmPersonnel, frmPersonnelVerified, and frmSalaryCalculator to include the ACIT logo at the top of each page with the logo set as a hyperlink that will return to the frmMain page.

On the frmPersonnel page, make it so that if the user presses the Cancel button, then that user is taken back to the frmMain.

STEP 3: Verify and Submit

28. Save your work and run the project. You should be able to go to both areas of your site and enter the information in the pages. Your calculator should properly calculate without errors, and then on the frmPersonel Web page, you can click the Submit button and have it display in the frmPersonalVerified Web page. Once you have verified that it works, save your project, zip up all files, and submit in the Dropbox.

NOTE: Make sure that you include comments in the C# code where specified (where the “//Your comments here” is mentioned), or else a 5-point deduction per item (form, class, function) will be made. This includes code that you will be creating in the coming weeks. To comment on the code, you basically put two forward slashes to start the comment; anything after the slashes on that line is disregarded by the compiler. Then, type a brief statement on what is happening in the line under it. Comments show professionalism and are a must in systems. As a professional developer, comments will set you apart from others and make your life much easier if maintenance and debugging are needed.

ilab 3

In this lab, we will demonstrate how to save user activity data in a database. We will be creating a new form to display the user activity data, a new dataset to contain the data, a data access class to structure the code, and a function within the data access class to save users’ activity data when users visit the Personnel form page (frmPersonnel.aspx). We will also be adding server side validation to the frmPersonnel form you added in the previous lab and update the main menu for the new functionality.

NOTE

Submit your assignment to the Dropbox, located at the top of this page. For instructions on how to use the Dropbox, read these step-by-step instructions.

(See the Syllabus section “Due Dates for Assignments & Exams” for due dates.)

All files are located in the subdirectory of the project. The project should function as specified: When you visit the Personnel form page (frmPersonnel.aspx), a record should be saved in the tblUserActivity table with the IP address, form name accessed (frmPersonnel), and the date accessed. When you click the View Activity button, you should see at least one record with this information. When the user goes to the frmPersonnel web form and enters data, the following business rules are to be enforced.

Fields may not be empty or filled with spaces. If any field is empty, turn that field background color to yellow and add to/create an error message to be shown in the error label.

The end date must be greater than the start date. If the end date is less than the start date turn both date fields yellow and add to/create an error message to be shown in the error label.

If all fields validate properly, then the session state items should be set properly and the user should see the frmPersonnelVerified form with all the values displayed. You will also add a new item to frmMain that will take the user to the new frmUserActivity form you added. Add the proper link and a hyperlinked image to allow the user to select this new option. Once you have verified that everything works, save your website, zip up all files, and submit it to the Dropbox.

Required Software

Microsoft Visual Studio.Net

Access the software at https://lab.devry.edu.

Steps: 1, 2, and 3

Lab Steps

STEP 1: Step Title

1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio.NET.

2. Open the PayrollSystem website by clicking on it in the Recent Projects list, or by pulling down the File menu, selecting Open Website, navigating to the folder where you previously saved the PayrollSystem, and clicking Open.

3. Download the PayrollSystem_DB.accdb file from Doc Sharing and save it on your local computer. (Note: your operating system may lock or block the file. Once you have copied it locally, right click on the file and select Properties and then Unblock if available). Then add it to the PayrollSystem website as follows: In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer click Website, Add Existing Item, then navigate to the PayrollSystem_DB.accdb file you downloaded, and click the Add button.

Make sure you select file types, which include *.accdb, *.accdb, etc. Otherwise, you will not be able to see the database file to select.

4. Now we need to create a new connection to the PayrollSystem_DB.accdb. To begin, click View Server Explorer.

5. When the Server Explorer toolbox appears, click the Connect to Database button.

6. When the Add Connection dialog appears, click the Change button. In the Change Data Source dialog, select MS Access Database File; Uncheck Always use this Selection; then click OK.

Press Continue to get the following screen.

7. Click the Browse button to navigate to the PayrollSystem_DB.accdb file in your website folder, then click Open. (NOTE: Be sure you select the PayrollSystem_DB.accdb file in your PayrollSystem website folder, not the one you originally downloaded from Doc Sharing!) Click Test Connection. You should receive a message that the test connection succeeded. Click OK to acknowledge the message, then click OK again to close the Add Connection dialog.

8. The PayrollSystemDB.accdb should be added to the Server Explorer. Expand the database, then expand the Tables entry under the database until you see tblUserActivity. Leave the Server Explorer window open for now as you will be returning to it in a moment.

9. Create a new dataset by selecting Website-> Add New Item. Under Templates, select the Dataset item. Enter dsUserActivity.xsd for the name. Click Add.

10. If the following message appears, select Yes. You want to make this dataset available to your entire website.

11. If the TableAdapter Configuration Wizard dialog appears, click Cancel. (We will be configuring a Data Adapter for this dataset later in C# code, so we do not need to run this wizard.)

12. Drag-and-drop the tblUserActivity table from the Server Explorer window into the dsUserActivity dataset in the editor window.

NOTE: If you see a message that says your connection uses a local data file that is not in the current project, that indicates you did not select the correct PayrollSystem_DB.accdb file when you created your data connection. To fix this problem, click No, then right-click on PayrollSystemDB.accdb in the Server Explorer window and choose Modify Connection. Click the Browse button, navigate to the PayrollSystemDB.accdb file that is in your PayrollSystem website folder, and click Open. Test the connection, then click OK.

Click the Save icon on the toolbar to save the dsUserActivity.xsd dataset.

(You can now close the Server Explorer window if you wish.)

13. Create a new class to contain the C# code that will access this dataset. To do so, click Website, Add New Item. In the Add New Item dialog, select the Class template, and enter clsDataLayer for the name. Make sure the Language is set to Visual C#. Click Add.

14. If the following message appears, select Yes. You want to make this class available to everything in your solution.

15. Add the following to the top of your class, below any other using statements created for you by Visual Studio.

Add to top of class

// Add your comments here

using System.Data.OleDb;

using System.Net;

using System.Data;

16. Add the following three functions inside the squiggly braces for the public class clsDataLayer class, above the beginning of the public clsDataLayer() constructor and save the class.

Class

// This function gets the user activity from the tblUserActivity

public static dsUserActivity GetUserActivity(string Database)

{

// Add your comments here

dsUserActivity DS;

OleDbConnection sqlConn;

OleDbDataAdapter sqlDA;

// Add your comments here

sqlConn = new OleDbConnection(“PROVIDER=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;” + “Data Source=” + Database);

// Add your comments here

sqlDA = new OleDbDataAdapter(“select * from tblUserActivity”, sqlConn);

// Add your comments here

DS = new dsUserActivity();

// Add your comments here

sqlDA.Fill(DS.tblUserActivity);

// Add your comments here

return
