VISUAL STUDIO - WINDOWS FORM APP (C#) - PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SHOW ALL CODE & ANSWER/FOLLOW ALL THE QUESTIONS IN THE ASSIGNMENT!

Planet Info Help When planning this project, review the concept of accessing object properties on another form. Form2.IblMessage.Text = "1122.25" or you can put a string or object instead of numbers You can then create one form for the Planets information and set all the properties before you display the Planet Form For the pictures of the planets, remember that you can place these pictures in the project resource file and access them from there. Use Menus to display the different planet information instead of buttons. Astronomy Helper Planets Filc SUN MERCURY JUPITER SATURN URANUS NEPTUNE PLUTO **

Answer 1

Create a Form1 and add the menuStrip from Tollbox. Create a File and Planet menu

In a File menu:

Type Here Astronomy Helper File Planets Exit Type Here MAR MER

In a Planet menu:

Astronomy Helper File Planets Type Here SUN Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Type Here

create each of the menu strip click event to perform the action for the menu.

add a picbox to display the planet in the picbox

SUN File Planets - Astronomy Helper MERCURI VENU EARTI MAR JUPITEL SATURN URANU NEPTUN PLUTO

Now create a another form Form2

add groupbox and in the group box add the label and picbox to display the planet details and the picture of the planet.

frm Planet x Information IblPlanetName Type: IbType- Average Distance from Sun: IbIDistance These are the label name to display the information of the planet. Mass: IbMass Surface Temperature: IblTemperature
