Purpose of this assignment

Scenario
The main library at your town is having problems with its current manual system and is interested in
developing a new computerized system that will operate faster.
Assume you are an individual to develop this system, which leads you to perform as a project manager,
system analyst, programmer, etc
Task 1 (LO1,LO2: AC 1.1,1.2,1.3,2.3)
1.1 discuss the principles, characteristics and features of programming using a .NET framework
1.2 critically compare different types of .NET framework architectures
1.3 critically evaluate the components that support the .NET framework
2.3 evaluate potential delivery environments and interaction
To answer this task, learners need to write a report that explains why you select .NET technologies to
implement this system (that is, explain the .net infrastructure, its features and differentiate the .net versions
and identify the characteristics in each version).
Task 2 (LO2: AC 2.1, 2.2)
2.1 design a .NET programming solution to a given problem
2.2 explain the components and data and file structures required to implement a given design
To answer this task, learners need to design the database to include necessary tables. (Produce ER diagram
and table design for this task.)
Set up the database structure by using Microsoft SQL server and populate this database with suitable test
data.
Task 3 (LO2, LO3: AC 2.2, 3.1, 3.2)
2.2 explain the components and data and file structures required to implement a given design
3.1 implement a .NET programming solution based on a prepared design
3.2 implement event handling using control structures to meet the design algorithms
To answer this task, learners need to design necessary user interfaces including all functions.
The designs of all the required algorithms are required as part of this task. Example: Class diagrams, Use case
diagrams, Activity diagrams, etc.
Task 4 (LO3: AC 3.3, 3.4)
3.3 identify and implement opportunities for error handling and reporting
3.4 make effective use of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) including code and screen templates
To answer this task, learners need to provide the implementation which was designed above in Task-2 by
including all the functions mention in above.
Task 5 (LO4 : AC 4.1,4.2,4.3,4.4)
4.1 critically review and test a .NET programming solution
4.2 analyse actual test results against expected results to identify discrepancies
4.3 evaluate independent feedback on a developed .NET program solution and make recommendations for
improvements
4.4 create user documentation for the developed .NET program solution

To answer this task, learners need to carry out complete system testing and provide user guide.
System testing and user guide must include suitable screen shots. Test your complete project with suitable
data. Produce suitable screenshots for error handling during testing.

Task 6 (LO4: AC 4.5)

4.5 create technical documentation for the support and maintenance of a .NET program solution
To answer this task, produce a publishable working copy a compiled version of the completed assignment
together with some installation notes. The installation note should include the system requirements. You are
required to write a formal report critically evaluating your performance in carrying out the task from 1 to 5.

Summary of evidence required by student

Evidence
presented

1 Understand the principles of programming using a .NET framework

Version: current version; backwards compatibility; design considerations; alternative
implementations
Design features: interoperability, common runtime engine, language independence, base
class library, deployment, security, portability
.NET languages: eg C#, C++, F#, J#, PowerShell, JScript .NET, IronPython, IronRuby, Visual
Basic, IronLISP, L#, P#
Architecture: Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), assemblies, metadata, security, class
library, memory management; framework versions (architecture) eg 3.5, 3.0, 2.0; common
language runtime and the .NET framework class libraries
2 Be able to design .NET solutions
Selection: identification of .NET compatible programming language, identification of .NET
programming libraries, selection of development environment
Design methodology: reuse of existing system, adaptation of code, GUI template, graphical
interface, design guides, state and interaction diagrams, screen layouts, data storage, event
procedures and descriptions
Specification: input, output, processes, user need, purpose
Creation of application: use of development environment; debugging
Delivery environment: mobile, handheld, web based, desktop, dedicated device, server
Interaction: exchange of data, compliance, compatibility, recognition of standards employed,
environment
3 Be able to implement .NET solutions
Tools and techniques: use of tool boxes and controls, selection, loops, event handlers, event
driven triggers, listeners, objects and object properties, menus, debugging tools
Data: variables, data types, declaring variables, scope of variables, constants
Programming: use of methods, use of traditional coding
Complexity: multiple .NET classes; multiple code elements
4 Be able to test and document .NET solutions
Mechanisms: valid declarations; debugging code; comment code; naming conventions;
checking functionality against requirements; documentation
Error handling: management of extremes, use of system imposed statements, interaction
between .NET classes
Impact testing: range testing, input testing, load testing, system compatibility
Feedback:
Resources record feedback, eg surveys, questionnaire, interviews; analyze feedback; present
