Water Level

This is a project created to demonstrate Rapid Application Development using VB.net. This application compares the values of multiple dam water level readings over different dates. It allows for multiple dams, dates and readings, it has been expanded beyond the specifications to allow for more than or less than 4 dams, as well as more or less than 10 readings. Each reading can also have its own date.
To run the project unzip the Water_Level.zip file and execute Water_Level.exe then use the program to load in the provided sample data.
How It Works
The data is input from a nominated file. The file is either nominated by typing the file path into the available textbox or via an open File Dialog.
Once a file is selected the user then clicks the load button. If the text file is not in the correct format it will not be read. If the file path is incorrect it will inform you when you try to load the file.
The picture box to the right of the loading buttons will indicate when a file is loaded. If no file is loaded the image is dull and faded, when a file is loaded the image is bright.
Once the data is loaded the “Select Dam” option is activated (The data is stored in a database). The user can select a dam and the corresponding data will be shown. Different dams can be selected to display their data.
If the user wishes to load a different file they can do so by selecting the “clear file” button. The user then selects a new file using the method mentioned above.
The user can exit at any stage by selecting the exit button. A message box confirms their request to exit the application.
