Catalog Learn programming Visual Basic (VB.net)

Lesson:

OOP More On Classes


Exercise:

Catalog


Objetive:

Create the classes diagram and then, using Visual Studio, a project and the corresponding classes for a catalog utility:

It will be able to store information about music files, films and computer programs.
For each item, it must store: name, code, category and size. For films it must also hold the director, the main actor and the main actress. For music files, the singer and the length (in seconds).
For music and movies it must have a method "Play" (not implemented yet) and also a method "RetrieveInformation", which will (in a later version) connect to an internet server to get information about it.
Use inheritance if needed. In "Main", create arrays of each kind of object.


Code:
