 Visual Studio IDE 2015 or higher

Procedures:

1. Get your previous program (05 Laboratory Exercise 1) from your instructor. This is a continuation of
your previous laboratory exercise.

2. Do not open the previous activity. Create a separate program that opens a text file from a specific folder.
This program only contains a single form named FrmOpenFile. See Figure 1.

5. Click the Open button to generate a click event.

6. Create a method named DisplayToList and add the following code:

openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
openFileDialog1.Title = "Browse Text Files";
openFileDialog1.DefaultExt = "txt";
openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
path = openFileDialog1.FileName;
using (StreamReader streamReader = File.OpenText(path)) {
string _getText = "";
while ((_getText = streamReader.ReadLine()) != null) {
Console.WriteLine(_getText);
lvShowText.Items.Add(_getText);
}
}

7. Run the program to check the output and analyze the given code.

2. Add another button to the FrmRegistration to open the form FrmStudentRecord.

3. The Register button in FrmStudent should go back to the FrmRegistration. The Find button will look
for the text file in the specified directory, while the Upload button will only display a message box
“Successfully Uploaded!” and will clear the ListView’s existing content.

4. Run the program to check the output.

5. Inform your instructor once you’re done with the Challenge Exercise as this will be recorded.
