Week 11

I have continued work on the Party Toonz Media Player. I completed coding for the entire program and tested it thoroughly. Everything worked as I expected. I then created the help documentation, an icon and the dvd case. I then tried publishing my program and encountered a few problems. At first the sample images and tracks were not loaded, I had to include them in the program before re-publishing and then they worked fine. I also had a lot of trouble getting the help file to load up. It took me a long time and then I figured out that I had to change its build action to content in solution explorer before re-publishing again. Once these few problems were fixed everything worked well.

Week 10

This week I began creating the Party Toonz Media Player. I created the graphical user interface for the program. From going off the program requirements I worked out exactly what objects I would need on the GUI and then laid them out. I had to design four different forms and a splash screen. After completing the GUI I began coding the program. I coded the majority of the program except for the components that play the media. I plan to complete the entire program over the next week. So far I haven't come up with any major problems.

Holidays

Over the holidays I completed the File Handling and System IO Assessment work. For this we created two small programs one called File Handling and the other Text Editor. I also completed the Arrays Assessment where we had to create four small programs dealing with Arrays. Also for the major assignment called Party Toonz Media Player I created the database that I am going to use. I completed all these without any problems. I plan to begin the programming for the Party Toonz program next week.
