Eventually, I will provide an executable for you to view.

Create a dialog based application that does several calcuations as described below

• Create a set of radio buttons to indicate the type of calculations to perform: Conversions, Geometry, Constants.
  • Change the title of the form to agree with the selected button.
  • When a radio button is clicked, make drop down list visible (see next section).
• Create a Drop Down List box. The contents of the Drop Down List box will change depending on the  selected radio button.
  • Conversions should have the following options in the Drop List
    • "Choose a Conversion"
    • "Inches to Feet". Input: inches.
    • Add two more conversions of your choice. Do not choose the ones from my example.
  • Geometry should have the following options in the Drop List
    • "Choose a Calculation"
    • "Circumference of a circle". Input: radius.
    • "Area of a rectangle". Input: length, width.
    • Add two more geometric formulas of your choice. Do not choose the ones from my example.
  • Constants should have the following options in the Drop List
    • "Choose a Constant"
    • "Pi"
    • "e"
    • Add two more constants of your choice. Do not choose the ones from my example.
• When the user selects an option from the list box, other than the first option, display the appropriate number of input boxes, with appropriate labels, and a button that will preform the operation.
  • All input should be floating point.
  • Clear input boxes when a new operation is selected from the drop down list.
• When the button is clicked, make a text box visible that displays the output. The user should not be able to edit the text box.
  • When the user clicks the button to perform the calculation, validate that all input are floating point numbers that are greater than 0.
    • Use an error provider to display an icon next to invalid input.
    • Validate all the input when the calculate button is clicked. There should be an error icon next to all invalid input boxes.
    • If the data is valid, display the output as a complete sentence that echoes the input and displays the result.
  • Display constants to 9 decimal places. (Hint: String.Format)
  • Display geometric calculations rounded to 2 decimal places. When echoing the input, round to 2 decimal places, too.
  • Hide the output textbox when any control other than the button is clicked.
• When the form is resized, be sure that the controls in the form spread out over the entire client area, in a pleasing arrangement. Set the minimum size so that no controls ever overlap each other.
• Add a control library to the solution.
  • Add a control that contains your fill name. Use a new font, size and color for your name.
  • Add a control that contains the course and section. Use the same font and color as was used for your name.
    • Center the course in the control. Center the section on the line below the course.
    • Make the size of the course smaller than the size of the name.
    • Make the size of the section smaller than the size of the course.
• Center your name, from the control library, at the top of the form. When the form is resized, the name should remain centered.
• Add a menu to the form.
  • Add a top level menu named Options.
    • Add a menu item named Resize.
      • When this is selected, toggle a check mark for the item.
      • When in the checked state, the form will resize as controls become visible or disappear.
      • When in the unchecked state, the form will remain a constant size that is large enough to contain all of the controls, whether or not they are visible.
    • Add a menu item named Trasparent.
      • When this is selected, toggle a check mark for the item.
      • When in the checked state, the form will be partially transparent.
      • When in the unchecked state, the form will be opaque.
  • Add a top level menu named Help.
    • Add a menu item named Oath. When clicked, display a new modal form.
      • Set an appropriate title for the new form.
      • Set the location of the new form so that it appears adjacent to the main form.
      • Center the user control for the name at the top of the form.
      • Center the user control for the course below the name.
      • Add a multiline label that contains the following.

        I attest that the homework I am uploading was done by me. 
        
        I understand that if it is determined that I shared my 
        assignment with another person, or copied my assignment 
        from another person's work, then I and the other person 
        will suffer the following consequences: 
        1. This assignment will be graded as a zero. 
        2. A full letter grade will be removed from the final 
           grade for the course I am taking. 3. A letter will be 
           placed in my permanent file in the School of Computer 
           Science. 
        4. If this is a second transgression, then I will receive 
           an F in this course. My case will be forwarded to the 
           Dean for further action.
        
        
        

    • Add a menu item named About. When clicked, display a new modal form.
      • Set an appropriate title for the new form.
      • Set the location of the new form so that it appears adjacent to the main form.
      • Center the user control for the name at the top of the form.
      • Center the user control for the course below the name.
      • Add a multiline label that describes this assignment.
