4.1 Gradebook Activity: Overview

A list of courses is added to Gradebook this week, and a roster of students is added to the courses.

In this assignment, you will create methods and call them from button-click event handlers, passing parameters to them and accepting return values from them. Create the new classes and lists as needed.

4.1 Gradebook Activity: Class Diagram

Implement the changes specified in the following UML class diagram.

Create any button(s) and button click event handler(s) in the WPF window designer (if specified in the class diagram).

  1. When creating classes be sure to:
    1. Ensure the class in the root namespace. This can be done in one of two ways. Either by adding the class in the project, i.e. scenario, or by adding the class to the business classes folder and removing the ".Business_Classes" designation from the namespace.
    2. insert the following line of code immediately above the class definition:
      [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.StyleCop.CSharp.MaintainabilityRules", "SA1401:FieldsMustBePrivate", Justification = "Encapsulation not yet taught.")]
  2. Open the main window (MainWindow.xaml) in designer mode (right-click and click "View Designer" or press Shift-F7 to go to designer mode).

4.1 Gradebook Activity: Object Diagram

Instantiate the objects and set their field values as specified in the following UML object diagram.

// Create an instance of the Course class (OOP 2).

// Set field values of the OOP 2 course.

// Define a temporary student variable.

// Create an instance of the Student class (Arthur).

// Set field values of the current student Arthur.

// Set field values of the advisor.

// Set field values of the assistant.

// Set field values of the Arthur's transcript.

// Define a temporary grade record variable.

// Create an instance of the GradeRecord class (Database Concepts).
