Assessor name Lam Nguyen Trung Nam

Purpose of this assignment

This assignment considers the skills required to demonstrate knowledge
and understanding in
relation to Programming in .NETdevelopments, in addition you will also
be able to design effective solutions for given scenarios.

Scenario
You are an analyst/programmer working for a small IT start-up business,
which, specializes in sports related software. The company uses C# in all
of its developments and wishes to use .NET to take advantage of code
re-use.
Assignment title
 Your first task is to produce a short written self-learning course
for managers/senior developers that demonstrate the principles
and features of .NET.

 Your second task will be to produce a full design for the

requirements given in Appendix A.

 Your third task will provide an implementation for the design

given in the second task. You also need to provide how you
handler errors in the program.

Aim of the This assignment satisfies the following learning outcomes and

assignment assessment criteria:
 LO 1: Understand the principles of programming using a .NET
framework
 LO 2:Be able to design .NET solutions.

Task 1 (LO 1: 1.1 and M1, D1)

Produce a written, self-learning course for managers/senior developers
that explain the principles and features of C# and that show how C# is
good for code re-use. You can include appropriate sample C# code where
it aids your points and/or provides further clarification. Ensure that any
diagrams that are included have captions and are referenced in the text.
Hint: You can include the following terms Inheritance, aggregation,
composite, association and polymorphism, abstract classes, reuse and
overloading. (No more than 1000 words), include the word count at the
end of the document.

Scenario for task 2.

The company has been given the opportunity to provide a software
solution with scenario in Appendix A. You will be required to use .NET for

descriptors)
Problem Analysis, for the scenario above.
You need to produce a full design for the requirements given. The design
must include “use case” diagrams for the most important features; class
diagrams for all objects identified as well as class relationships. You will
need to include draft UI designs and planned information requirements.
The UI must be annotated to explain usage and data flow.

Task 3: (LO 2: 2.2 and M3, D3)

Your third task will provide a written analysis for senior developers that
justify the design you have produced in task 2. You need to state what
features have been included/excluded and why certain features have
been used over others (where applicable). Example code can be used to
help clarify WebForm features. You should include diagrams from your
design.

Include the word count at the end of the document.

For the assignment assessments, you are required to:

Student guidelines 1. Produce a design in UML that fully utilizesWebForm principles and
features. (Use case, class diagrams, collaboration diagrams etc.).

Submission
Students are expected to submit hard copy of assignment
requirements

Appendix A
The Scenario.
ABC is a company selling laptops and computer accessories. The company is going to build a
solution which helps the company reach more customers not only in locally area but also
international. The solution needs to be able to use on multiple platforms such as desktop or
mobile.

Your Task
Your task need to have the following features:
 Managing Categories (kind of laptops, accessories) for administrators
 Managing Products for administrators
 Managing Orders for administrators
 Managing Customer’s queries for administrators [each query has 3 statuses: working,
cancelled, done]
 Search product for a range of price for customers
