CALCULATE PAY
Between the dashed lines below is the code for the Visual Basic
Project that
will find the gross pay, state tax amount, federal tax amount and
net pay
when the user enters the name, hours worked, hourly pay rate,
state tax rate
and federal tax rate entered by the user to the form textbox
controls. The
code that you will type is in bold red text. It assumes that the
input text
box controls are named as follows:
empName
9. hrsWorked
hourlyRate
stTaxRate
fdTaxRate
It also assumes that the output text boxe controls are named as
follows:
grossPay
stTax
fdTax
netPay
Button controls are assumed to be named as follows:
Calc
Clear
Quit
Remember to add the controls to the form before you begin
coding. The code
10. that you will type is in bold red text. Begin coding by double
clicking on
one of the three button controls to enter the code for the click
method of
that button control.
