VB Project Suggested Solutions

This section of my site contains links to the suggested solutions for projects assigned in my Penn State, Holy Family, and SmartPlanet classes.

For those students, my advice is to try to work out the solution on your own, and then check these solutions. By the way, these solutions are intentionally bland---I'm sure yours a lot better than these!

Make sure that you download the correct solution.

Practice Visual Basic 6 Projects

What exactly is a practice project?

Well, many students over the years have sought extra material to complete, that is beyond the requirements of my courses. I always have some ideas for projects at hand, and you can download them here.

Some of these projects are actual projects that I've assigned students in my classes. Some are projects that I've given to my kids at home to work on. If you want, you can download one, complete it, and mail it back to me. I'll email you an impartial evaluation of your work. You can find more details in the requirements statement when you download the project.

I've categorized these projects as either Introductory, Intermediate or Advanced projects.

Introductory Level Projects

Intro China Shop Project
Addition Project
Calculator Project
The Sneaker Project

Intermediate Level Projects
