Hey guys,
I'm trying to make an Area & Perimeter calculator, and I've run into some issues.
Everything is working, except for the very end of the code I seem to be getting an error when it comes to converting the decimal variables back to string.
Here is my code, let me know if you need to know anything else:
namespace AreaPerimeterCalculator
{
public partial class frmAreaPerimeter : Form
{
public frmAreaPerimeter()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//This states the variables.
decimal length = 0;
decimal width = 0;
decimal area = 0;
decimal perimeter = 0;
area = CalculateArea(length, width);
perimeter = CalculatePerimeter(length, width);
//INPUT
//This occurs when the values have been inputted correctly.
try
{
length = Convert.ToDecimal(txtLength.Text);
width = Convert.ToDecimal(txtWidth.Text);
}
//This occurs when the value has been inputted incorrectly.
catch (Exception)
{
MessageBox.Show("You have entered an incorrect value, please enter numbers only.");
txtLength.Focus();
}
}
//PROCESS
private decimal CalculateArea(decimal length, decimal width)
{//start CalculateArea
decimal area;
area = length * width;
return area;
}end CalculateArea
private decimal CalculatePerimeter(decimal length, decimal width)
{//start CalulatePerimeter
decimal perimeter;
perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width;
return perimeter;
}//end CalulatePerimeter
//OUTPUT
//This converts the numerical value into text form, then outputs the correct data.
txtArea.Text = Convert.ToString(area);
txtPerimeter.Text = Convert.ToString(perimeter);
private void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
}
}
