3. Library System Overview
• Introduction:
– I designed and implemented a library system to handle day-to-day
operations performed by librarians.
• Audience:
– Librarians will be the primary users of the applications.
• Project Goals:
– Design and develop Windows and Web based applications that allow
librarians to add adult and juvenile members, check in and check out
books, and maintain an inventory of the library’s books.
– Develop code that is easily maintainable.
– Provide validation for all required fields.
– Provide error handling
– Produce a user interface that is intuitive, requiring minimal training for users
while minimizing resource utilization

4. Design Highlights
• 3 Tiered Architecture
• User-friendly interface developed using MDI forms with
menu strip navigation and ASP.NET Web forms using Tree
View navigation
• Business ruled and validations encapsulated within the
Business Tier
• ADO.NET Data Access called Stored Procedures in the SQL
Server Database
• Data transported between the layers using Entities and
Strongly-Typed Data Sets

5. Windows Form Sample
 Data entry screen
 Flags input format errors
 Requires a valid Adult Member Sponsor

6. Windows Form Sample
 Lists books on loan in a Data Grid View
 Allows check out of books
 Non-modal confirmation message

7. ASP.NET Web Form Sample
 Data entry screen
 Flags input format errors
 Requires a valid Adult Member Sponsor
 Prompts to renew Adult Sponsor if expired membership

8. ASP.NET Web Form Sample
 Lists books on loan
 Allows check out of books
 Non-modal confirmation message
 Prompts to renew Membership if expired

9. ADO.NET Code Sample - Parameters
// Create DB connection with connection string
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.LibraryConnectionString))
{
// Define the SQL Command
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(quot;checkoutquot;))
{
// SQL Command is a stored Procedure
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Connection = connection;
// Load the Parameters
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(quot;@Member_Noquot;, memberID);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(quot;@ISBNquot;, isbn);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(quot;@Copy_Noquot;, copyNumber);
// Open connection
connection.Open();
// Execute the Stored Procedure
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}

10. ADO.NET Code Sample
Use of Ordinal Column values for efficiency:
// Define Common Ordinal Column IDs
int titleColumn = reader.GetOrdinal(quot;titlequot;);
int authorColumn = reader.GetOrdinal(quot;authorquot;);
int memberNumberColumn = reader.GetOrdinal(quot;member_noquot;);
int outDateColumn = reader.GetOrdinal(quot;out_datequot;);
int dueDateColumn = reader.GetOrdinal(quot;due_Datequot;);
// Create object to read into
object[] allFields = new object[reader.FieldCount];
reader.Read();
Use of Typed Dataset Table Adapters:
// Create Typed Dataset Table adapter to connect to database
ItemsTableAdapter itemsTableAdapter = new ItemsTableAdapter();
// The stored proc has one input parameter(@Member_No)
int returnValue = itemsTableAdapter.Fill(ids.Items, memberID);

11. Stored Procedure Sample
/* ADDNEWBOOK
…
Adds abook to the library
error checking ensures that valid parameters ALTER proc [dbo].[addnewbook]
are supplied for all non nullable fields. @ISBN int = NULL,

Input Parameters:
@Translation char(8) = NULL,
@ISBN smallint = NULL,
@Cover char(8) = NULL,
@Title varchar(63) = NULL, @Loanable char(1) = NULL,
@Author varchar(31) = NULL, @Copy_No int Output
@Translation char(8) = NULL,
as
@Cover char(8) = NULL,
@Loanable char(1) = NULL
begin try
execute addmessages -- Set up error messages
Output Parameters:
declare @New_Copy_No int
@Copy_No int = Output
declare @New_Title_No int
Error Codes: Error_State 12
if @ISBN is NULL
50018 - Invalid ISBN Begin
