Lab: Calculate $($exactly$)$ a Dog$$s Age in Human Years

$$ The purpose of this lab.

o Create a Dog class, using C#$.$

o Have a well designed window that is easy to understand.

o Calculate the number human years a dog is$.$

This is a age chart at the web site, below:

Requirements

$1.$ Calendar Control: A Date of Birth date. Pick a date when the dog was born.

$2.$ Read$-$Only textBox showing the current date. Get this data from the computer.

$3.$ A Calculate button.

a$.$ When clicked, do the calculation.

$4.$ A read$-$only display textbox.

a$.$ This will hold the results of the calculation. Display the results as simply

number of years.

$5.$ Validation: The current date must be more recent than the Birth Date entered. If

not display an error message using MessageBox.Show$().$

Window Design $$ Looking for $...$

$1.$ This is a simple window design.

$2.$ The controls are proportional with the size of the window.

$3.$ Window has an appropriate title.

$4.$ The window cannot be resized.

$5.$ The window is a dialog box style of window $($check the window properties$).$

$6.$ Implement a color scheme. Make items more colorful, but still appealing.

$7.$ For all, controls, set up the mouse hover event to show an explanation of what goes

in that particular control.

The Dog class

$1.$ Make the Dog class a separate C# file, than the main window. Add it to the project.

$2.$ The dog class shall have.

a$.$ Class name $=$Dog$.$

b$.$ At least $6$ class fields.

c$.$ A get$()$ and set function for all $6$ fields.

d$.$ Two constructor: $1$ a default $($no params$),$ the other with as many params as

fields$).$

e$.$ A toString$()$ method.

f$.$ A static member called $$DogsAgeinhumanYears$.$

g$.$ Determine The dog$$s age in human years.

h$.$ Use the chart found on a website $($listed above$)$

i$.$ Since has many birthdays in a human$$s calendar year, you determine how old

in the partial year $($we discussed this in class$).$
