Task 1: (see Chaper 1 Practice)

I built and examined a Class Diagram (10 minutes).

I learned how the class diagram is created and what is included in the diagram. I learned how the information describes the classes and their relationships.

Task 2: (see Chaper 1 Practice)

I built a main menu using toolbar strip class. Menu had to top level items on it called File and Help. File contained an Exit command to exit program. Help contained a About command that accessed a Help form with information about the assembly. I changed some information about the assembly to see how it worked. (15 minutes).

I learned how to build a main menu.

Task 3: (see Chaper 1 Practice)

I created a tool bar using the tool bar strip with two buttons and programmed them to see how they worked. I saw how the files used for icons were added to the resources folder. (10 minutes)

I learned how to create the tool bar and how pictures are incorporated into the resources folder.

Task 4: (see Chaper 1 Practice)

I created a status bar using the toolbar strip class and populated it with a date and time controlled by a timer. (10 minutes)

I learned the new way to create a status bar using the toolstrip class and how to create the objects thereon that can hold information. I learned that the timer works the same way it always has worked.
