Introduction
THREE D’s is a company that owns a chain of Home Improvement and DIY stores that have
branches throughout the country of Datalia. It markets a range of goods from plumbing materials,
timber, tools to complete kitchens, carpets, decorating materials, in fact anything that could help to
improve the home.
At this time THREE D’s has a very inadequate Web site to advertise its business. The management
has decided to commission a new web site and has produced an outline specification:
The Web site must include the following features all of which must be easily updateable by
designated maintenance personnel:
A directory giving the location of all the stores throughout the country. Each directory entry must
include the address of the store, web pages specific to the store, map of the location of the store.
A directory giving the details of all products marketed by the company listed in category groups
(for example, gardening equipment, power tools). However, not all stores will stock all products
hence the directory entries will have to cross-reference to particular stores. All goods are to be
priced and this data must be easily updateable.
A facility whereby statistics relating to the hits on the web site are recorded, for example, the
geographical distribution of interest shown in the various stores.
A facility for a potential customer to send emails to the managers of individual stores. All such
emails should be stored, and the intending sender informed of this.
Note that at this time we do not have firm plans to provide online ordering via the web site.
Aim
To develop a working prototype of the system as defined so far by THREE D’s, using the object
oriented facilities of VB.NET.
To do this you will need to design and implement a sample system with a minimum of:
• Four categories of goods
• Three stores.
The system will be driven by a suitable database that you will design and populate with suitable
dummy test data. Note that with all such prototypes the test data must be comprehensive but not
exhaustive.
The user view of the system will be a number of interacting and interactive web forms implemented
in VB.NET.
It is critical that data validation and error trapping is comprehensive.

How do i:

Design suitable web forms to meet the requirements of the outline specification above.
Pay particular attention to the design of the home page.
Include in your design the algorithms required for:
• Comprehensive data validation
• The means of navigation between the forms
• Collecting the web forms hit information and email enquires

Hi,

Are you asking the implementation plan or code?
