ASSIGNMENT ONE:

CONTROL AN ELEVATOR – A C# PROJECT

Aim

This assignment aims to develop students’ capabilities and skills of solving real-world problems with C# programming language.

Task description:

The simple version of the elevator is illustrated below:

Task 1: To create a GUI which contains

· Two request buttons corresponding to the two floors, respectively

· One control panel with two buttons and a display window

· Two display areas that display the status of the elevator, i.e. which floor the elevator currently stays, one is of each floor

· A log button

Task 2: To create a control program that processes the events published by the GUI.  That is,

· When any request button is pressed,

o the elevator moves to the corresponding floor

o then the display areas and the display window on the control panel show the corresponding floor number at the same time

· When the floor number buttons on the control panel are pressed,

o the elevator moves to the corresponding floor

o then the display areas and the display window on the control panel show the corresponding floor number at the same time

Task 3: To implement a program to animate the events described in Task 2

Task 4: To create a log which record all operations and the corresponding status of the elevator and the time information in a MS Access database

Task 5: To show the log on GUI

Task 6: To integrate the programs developed in Tasks 1 to 5

Task 7: To write a report which should have the following sections: aim, task description, design, programs and comments, and testing results.

The entire C# project including all folders and files, and the DB which should be saved in bin->debug folder, and saved as .zip file
