[RESOLVED] [2005] help me write a class

I need some help with this problem. I cant figure out where im going wrong in my code.

Create a class called clsTaxReturn. This class should have a property for income (and a private variable to store the income); negative incomes are not allowed. Add a read-only property that returns the income as a formatted string (that is, formatted as currency, $10,000 for 10000, for example). Add functions that return the income tax and insurance tax. As before:
a. Income tax is 15% for the first $10,000 and 25% of the income in excess of $10,000 (just as in a previous question)
b. Insurance tax is 7.75% of the first $50,000; income above $50,000 has no insurance tax. That is, an income of $25,000 would have 7.75% of all 25,000 to pay, while an income of $65,000 would only pay 7.75% of 50,000, not 7.75% of 65,000.
Write a program to test this class.


Here is what I have for my code.
please help

VB Code:

Public Class clsTaxReturn
 
    Private decIncomeValue As Decimal
    Private Value As Decimal
 
    Public Event DataError(ByVal sErrorMsg As String)
 
    Public Sub ComputeTax(ByRef decIncomeValue As Decimal, ByRef decIncomeTax As Decimal, ByRef decInsurance As Decimal)
 
        
 
        If decIncomeValue <= 10000 Then
 
            decIncomeTax = decIncomeValue * 0.15
 
        Else
 
            decIncomeTax = decIncomeValue * 0.25
 
        End If
 
        If decIncomeValue <= 50000 Then
 
            decInsurance = decIncomeValue * 0.0775
 
        Else
 
            decInsurance = 0
 
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Public Property Income() As Decimal
        Get
            Return decIncomeValue
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Decimal)
            If value >= 0 Then
                decIncomeValue = value
            Else
                RaiseEvent DataError("Income cannot be negative.")
            End If
        End Set
    End Property
 
    ReadOnly Property Currency() As String
        Get
            Return (Format(decIncomeValue, "$##,###"))
        End Get
    End Property
 
    Private Sub clsTaxReturn_DataError(ByVal sErrorMsg As String) Handles Me.DataError
 
    End Sub
End Class
Imports MyClasses
Public Class Form1
    Dim WithEvents Amount As New clsTaxReturn
 
    Private Sub Amount_dataError(ByVal sErrorMsg As String)
        MessageBox.Show(sErrorMsg, "Error!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
    End Sub
Amount.decIncomeValue = IncomeValue.text
lblInsurance.text = Amount.decInsurance
lblIncome.text = Amount.decIncome
 
End Class

Welcome to the Forums.

What is your question?

The question is the first part I posted. The second part is what I have for it. I was wondering if someone could look at my code and give me a hand on how to fix it.

But you need to tell us more then whats wrong with it. ;)
Are you getting an error and if so where? Sounds like a school project. If you tell us whats wrong with it that makes it easier to ehlp fix it.

yes it is a school problem and I just need some help. My school is online so there is no way for me to get help. The class question is in the original post and I would like for someone to look at my code and see if it will work. I get no errors. But I also have no idea how to incorporate this class that I wrote into a program. Ive done this problem before, but not with using a class to simplify. I rewrote some of my code and here it is. please help

VB Code:

Public Class clsTaxReturn
 
    Private decIncome As Decimal
 
    Public Event DataError(ByVal sErrorMsg As String)
 
 
    Public Sub ComputeTax(ByRef decIncomeValue As Decimal, ByRef decincometax As Decimal, ByRef decInsurance As Decimal)
        If decIncomeValue <= 10000 Then
            decincometax = decIncomeValue * 0.15
        Else
            decincometax = decIncomeValue * 0.25
        End If
 
        If decIncomeValue <= 50000 Then
            decInsurance = decIncomeValue * 0.0775
        Else
            decInsurance = 0
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Public Property income() As Decimal
        Get
            Return decIncome
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Decimal)
            If value >= 0 Then
                decIncome = value
            Else
                RaiseEvent DataError("Income cannot be negative.")
            End If
        End Set
    End Property
 
    ReadOnly Property Currency() As String
        Get
            Return (Format(decIncome, "$##,###"))
        End Get
    End Property
 
End Class

could you tell me if it looks like it will work for my problem?

I dont have time to write the whole thing but if you tell us what error(s) or so you are getting I will be glad to help guide you to fix it.

For one, you can replace

VB Code:

Return (Format(decIncomeValue, "$##,###"))

with

VB Code:

Return decIncomeValue.ToString("c")
