Solution to the Right-Angled Triangle

[SteveHeather]

This is my first submission since joining VB Forums. I wasn't sure what sort of files were needed in download, so I have put them all in one RAR file.

I started this project two weeks ago, when I first started to learn VB.NET, I had a lot of problems getting it to work, fortunately, 4x2y, re-wrote this code and submitted it for download, so this project uses his code. But I have designed a new form and put on it some educational information for the user, plus I have enhanced the warning message boxes to give the user more info on what to do.

So this is based for student education purposes really, please let me know if I have put all the correct files here. I know this is a copy, but I just wanted to see what you all think.

22/02/2012: Changed the 'Calculate' button size and position to make it more accessible. Also enhanced the design of the form. The image shows the main window with some typical message boxes that appear if the user enters the incorrect or not enough data.

Thanks guys,


Post 1 will now have the latest update to the software.

Hopefully it is now.

OK I never clicked Upload, sorry.

Apparently it exceeds the forum limit, it is only 950kb, so now I am stuffed.

.RAR is fine, although most folks us .zip files.

Just make sure there is no compiled code in your attachments. If there is, then I will edit what you attach and remove it. There is a CodeBank Attachment Policy that you should read if you have not already done so.

Thanks Hack, I sent you a message to delete this thread if you could. I did read the requests but it seems some of the icon files are too large, so I will re-work it all. But I have managed to upload it.

4th attempt but hopefully here.

I have increased the form size so the user doesn't have to use a scoll bar to see all the text, and added the close button, plus more info added on trig formula. Also made the text read only. These modifications where done as a result of 4x2y's advice.

Edit: The latest download has now been moved to post 1.
