Homework #4 - Persistent storage

Assignment

• Write a Windows Forms GUI program that will be able to maintain a persistent database of TV series

• Get inspiration from screenshots
  • Screenshot of the first tab of the application
  • Screenshot of the second tab of the application
  • Screenshot of the table in the DataSet editor

Requirements:

• The application has to allow for creating new entries about Tv series and deleting them. Editing of existing entries is not required.
• Check the user input, before saving it to the database. Don't allow empty titles or negative number of seasons.
• You can make use of classes/controls: DataSet, DataGridView, TableAdapter, NumbericUpDown
• The entries in the database have to have a unique id, but don't allow user to set it. It should be assigned automatically by the application.
• DataGridView has to display newly inserted data immediately after insertion (without pressing any button to refresh).
• Don't allow for direct insertion of lines in the DataGridView. That should be done through the form in the second tab.
• The entries have to be saved persistently, that means, if a user creates new entries, or deletes some, the effects of the changes should be visible even after closing and reopening of the application.
