No text files... nothing, we will just store the data in arrays (when program is closed everything will be lost)

Yes, I understood that, but why will you store the data in arrays? Why not implement some database functionality in the program, when it doesn't require much effort to do so.

The time limit, and the complexity limit. Anyhow, I usually find it easier to store everything in an XML File. It's really easy to retrieve/set data, if you use the System.Xml namespace.

Well I am storing the data in Arrays because I that's how the program is supposed to work, If I don't do that.. I will fail the exam.

Were you specifically told to store the data in arrays?

**TcM** · #16 (**permalink**) 04-18-2008, 07:11 AM

Yup I was.. and If I don't do it that way, I will get a straight fail.

Fair enough.

BTW did I mention that it's a console application? and every menu is a loop, with tons of cases? dang.

OH! I, like, expected it to be one with a UI! Oh well, it's not too bad. Just make sure there's an oppurtunity to exit out into the previous menu at all times, and use colour if possible, to make it as clear as possible. Good luck!

We can't use colors. In Visual Studio 2003 it's complicated to make colors... time is very limited.

And yeah... of course in every menu there is an exit option
