What is the Visual Basic code for a sales receipt?

Question

this is our project in our programming class and i dont know how to make it. We are going to provide a printout of the interface into a receipt using VB code.

Answer 1

Think of how a Cash register works...

As Items are (Scanned) entered a description is printed with a value.

Your code will need to let an Item be entered by a user along with a value. When a button is pressed the Item and value is added to a list box and a running total is created.

As items are entered the list grows longer and the sub total vale is incremented.

At some point you will need to check out so create a button to do this function.

Checking out disables and further entries to the list a tax is calculated based upon the sub total and a grand total is calculated . As the sale is completed by the customer paying via cash/credit etc the sales receipt is printed.

On the receipt is a list of items purchased and their values, the sub total , tax and grand total.


So just print every item in your list followed by the values.

To get this data on paper you will have to use a PrintDocument object or use a MSWord object.

Either way you pragmatically create a document page and type text via code onto this virtual document. The document is then printed.

You can use a template from MS Word and add text to it via code or you can code the entire document from scratch within your app.

Or you can creat a text file then print the text file

Lol. I know what book that problem is from. If you can't code VB then you need to drop from programming cause you ain't going to make it. You're either lazy or can't cut it. Either case find a new career path.
