 INTRODUCTION

Visual Basic is a third-generation event-driven

programming language first released by Microsoft
in 1991. It evolved from the earlier DOS version
called BASIC. BASIC means Beginners' All-
purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. Since then
Microsoft has released many versions of Visual
Basic, from Visual Basic 1.0 to the final version
Visual Basic 6.0. Visual Basic is a user-friendly
programming language designed for beginners,
and it enables anyone to develop GUI window
applications easily.
In 2002, Microsoft released Visual
Basic.NET(VB.NET) to replace Visual Basic 6.
Thereafter, Microsoft declared VB6 a legacy
programming language in 2008. Fortunately,
Microsoft still provides some form of support for
VB6. VB.NET is a fully object-oriented
programming language implemented in the .NET
Framework. It was created to cater for the
development of the web as well as mobile
applications. However, many developers still favor
Visual Basic 6.0 over its successor Visual
Basic.NET.
The software Quiz application manages the
activity of quiz conduction in a school or college or
5 | Page
any institution or even as the first test for the
recruiters. The system is user friendly and the
user will find it easy to answer the question. The
Admin/employee will not find any difficult in
calculating the total marks scored by the student.
The system will thus reduce paperwork and all the
information will be stored safely in the database.
This project is helpful in saving the students
details, calculating the marks scored by each
student and for obtaining the names of the top
students who will be selected for the next round.

 OBJECTIVE

This is Quiz Application developed in visual basic

6.0. The software can be used to conduct quiz in
any school or college or individually.The questions
can be edited or added only by the creator. Even
the answers will be stored in the database. As
soon as the student enters the answer, their
answer will be compared to the ans in the
database. If the ans matches, there will be an
increment in the marks.

The advantage is the employee/admin need not

calculate the the result. The system will
automatically calculate the result of the person and
each persons results will be displayed with number
of answer given right and wrong as well as the
total score where each question is of 10 points .
Only Creator has the authority to view this. Other
individuals has only the authority to answer the
quiz. As soon as the person starts the quiz,
questions will come up one after the other
accordingly.

 PROJECT ENVIRONMENT

• Standard List of Controls

1. FORM -the form is the container for all the

controls that make up the user interface.
When a Visual Basic application is
executing, each window it displays on the
desktop is a form. The terms form and
window describe the same entity.

2. COMMAND BUTTON - A command button

performs a task when the user clicks the
button. You use a Command Button control
to begin, interrupt, or end a process. When
clicked, a command button appears to be
pushed in and so is sometimes called a
push button. The most common event for a
Command Button control is the Click event.

3. LABELS - A Label control lets you place

descriptive text, where the text does not
need to be changed by the user. The Label
class is defined in the System. Windows.
Forms namespace.

4. PICTURE BOX - The Picture Box control is

used for displaying images on the
8 | Page
 form. The Image property of the control
allows you to set an image both at design
time or at run time.

5. FRAME - Frames are used to organize

forms. Frames are also used to organize
option buttons into related groups. In
compiled Visual Basic, frames will
automatically group option buttons if the
option buttons and frames are created in
the correct sequence

6. OPTION BUTTON - Radio Buttons,

sometimes called Option Buttons, are used
when you want to restrict a user's choice to
one, Male/Female, for example. A
Checkbox would be no good here,
because a user could tick both boxes. You
want to force your users to pick only one
from your list of options.

7. TEXT BOX - A text box object is used to

display text on a form or to get
user input while a VB 6.0 program is
running. In a text box, a user can type data
or paste it into the control from the
clipboard.

• Data Types

1. INTEGER - An integer is a data-type that

can be used to store whole numbers. One
of the drawbacks of the Visual Basic
integer was that it was too small, with the
maximum value it can hold being 32767.
Here, we took password as integer

2. STRING - A string literal is the notation for

representing a string value within the text
of a computer program. In Visual Basic
string literals are enclosed by double
quotes. A string in Visual Basic is a
sequence of Unicode characters.
Here we took username as string

10 | P a g e
• Programming techniques used
(Loop, Conditional statement, Functions, Arrays
etc)

If ….. elseif …..else - The If Else Statement

will see if the statements are true: if they
are it will print out the correct message,
and if they are false it will print the last
message.

• Database Connectivity

No database connectivity used in this

this project of quiz application.

 CONCLUSION

“QUIZ” software developed for a school or to a

college has been designed for time reduction
taken for conducting a quiz, for calculating the
marks, for shortlisting the student’s name, hence
increasing the efficiency. It is designed to replace
an existing paper work and correction manually.
The system uses VB .Net as front end and
Microsoft SQL as a backend for the database.
The implementation of the system in the
organization will considerably reduce time and
also provide readily calculated marks.
