CS11ex File Processing Example |
 |
This project is used to demonstrate file processing. Creating and submitting the example project
is not required, but students may download and expand the self-extracting CS11ex archive into their own workspace if they like.
The data file Coffee.txt is stored in the default folder, which is
in the project's Debug folder within the bin folder.
Folder path: CS11ex > bin > Debug
The interface is the same as CS10ex Loops and Printing, except that
the Load and Save List options have been added to the File menu list.
CS11ex Sample Form:
CS11ex Open File Dialog Box:
Coffees.txt contents:
Chocolate AlmondCS11exForm.cs Source Code:
Espresso Roast
Jamaican Blue Mtn.
Kona Blend
Vanilla Nut

CS11ex Juan Marquez
Maintain a list of coffee flavors;
Users can Add and Remove flavors, or clear entire list.
The list can also be printed.
The initial list is loaded from a file, and users
can save their changes to a file.
