1.3 SOFTWARE FEATURES

FRONT END:
VB.NET
Visual Basic .NET is a major component of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET suite..Net is a
Framework in which Windows applications may be developed and run. .NET must go back in
time and follow the development of Windows and the advent of Windows programming.
The .NET version of Visual Basic is a new improved version with more features and
additions. After these new additions, VB qualifies to become a full object-oriented language such
as C++. VB.NET is the following version of VB 6.0. Microsoft .NET is a new programming and
operating framework introduced by Microsoft. All .NET supported languages access a
common .NET library to develop applications and share common tools to execute applications.
Programming with Visual Basic using .NET is called VB.NET. VB.NET, the following version
of VB 6.0 is an improved, stable, and full Object Oriented language.
VB 6.0 wasnt a true object-oriented language because there was no support for
inheritance, overloading, and interfaces. VB.NET supports inheritance, overloading, and
interfaces.
Multithreading and Exception handling was two major weeks areas of VB 6.0. In
VB.NET, the user can develop multithreaded applications as the user can do in C++ and C# and
it also supports structured exception handling.
Here is list of VB.NET features:

Object Oriented Programming language.

Support of inheritance, overloading, interfaces, shared members and constructors.

Supports all CLS features such as accessing and working with .NET classes, interaction
with other .NET languages, Meta data support, common data types, and delegates.

13

Multithreading support.

Structured exception handling.

SQL SERVER 2008:

Database management system (DBMS) consists of a collection of interrelated data and a
set of programs to access those data. The collection of data is known as database, which contains
information about one particular enterprise. The primary goal of DBMS is to provide an
environment that is both convenient and efficient to use in retrieving and storing database
information.
A major purpose of database system is to provide users with an abstract view of the data.
A database system provides two different types of languages. They are, Database Definition
Language, which is used to specify the database schema, and the Data Manipulation Language,
is used to express database queries and updates.
A Relational database consists of collection of tables, each of which is assigned a unique
name. A row in a table represents a relationship among a set of values. SQL (Structured Query
Language) is the standard relational database language.
The language has different parts such as, data definition language (DDL), Interactive data
manipulation language (DML), Embedded DML, view definition, Authorization, Integrity,
Transaction control. The basic structure of an SQL expression consists of three clauses: select,
from and where.
Separating the data into several tables has a number of advantages. One is that it allows
to use the access security features the restrict access to certain type of data using multiple tables;
it also avoids storing empty, meaning no fields in the tables.
14

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by

Microsoft. As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve
data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those
running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at least a dozen
different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different audiences and for workloads
ranging from small single-machine applications to large Internet-facing applications with many
concurrent users. Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.
SQL Server 2008 (formerly codenamed "Katmai") was released on August 6, 2008 and
aims to make data management self-tuning, self organizing, and self maintaining with the
development of SQL Server Always On technologies, to provide near-zero downtime. SQL
Server 2008 also includes support for structured and semi-structured data, including digital
media formats for pictures, audio, video and other multimedia data. In current versions, such
multimedia data can be stored as BLOBs (binary large objects), but they are generic bitstreams.
Intrinsic awareness of multimedia data will allow specialized functions to be performed on them.
According to Paul Flessner, senior Vice President, Server Applications, Microsoft Corp., SQL
Server 2008 can be a data storage backend for different varieties of data: XML, email,
time/calendar, file, document, spatial, etc as well as perform search, query, analysis, sharing, and
synchronization across all data types.
Other new data types include specialized date and time types and a Spatial data type for
location-dependent data. Better support for unstructured and semi-structured data is provided
using the new FILESTREAM data type, which can be used to reference any file stored on the file
system. Structured data and metadata about the file is stored in SQL Server database, whereas the
unstructured component is stored in the file system. Such files can be accessed both via Win32
file handling APIs as well as via SQL Server using T-SQL; doing the latter accesses the file data
as a BLOB. Backing up and restoring the database backs up or restores the referenced files as
well.[18] SQL Server 2008 also natively supports hierarchical data, and includes T-SQL
constructs to directly deal with them, without using recursive queries.
The Full-text search functionality has been integrated with the database engine.
According to a Microsoft technical article, this simplifies management and improves
performance. Spatial data will be stored in two types. A "Flat Earth" (GEOMETRY or planar)
15

data type represents geospatial data which has been projected from its native, spherical,
coordinate system into a plane. A "Round Earth" data type (GEOGRAPHY) uses an ellipsoidal
model in which the Earth is defined as a single continuous entity which does not suffer from the
singularities such as the international dateline, poles, or map projection zone "edges".
Approximately 70 methods are available to represent spatial operations for the Open Geospatial
Consortium Simple Features for SQL, Version 1.1.
SQL Server includes better compression features, which also helps in improving
scalability. It enhanced the indexing algorithms and introduced the notion of filtered indexes. It
also includes Resource Governor that allows reserving resources for certain users or workflows.
It also includes capabilities for transparent encryption of data (TDE) as well as compression of
backups. SQL Server 2008 supports the ADO.NET Entity Framework and the reporting tools,
replication, and data definition will be built around the Entity Data Model. SQL Server
Reporting Services will gain charting capabilities from the integration of the data visualization
products from Dundas Data Visualization, Inc., which was acquired by Microsoft. On the
management side, SQL Server 2008 includes the Declarative Management Framework which
allows configuring policies and constraints, on the entire database or certain tables, declaratively.
The version of SQL Server Management Studio included with SQL Server 2008 supports
IntelliSense for SQL queries against a SQL Server 2008 Database Engine. SQL Server 2008 also
makes the databases available via Windows Power Shell providers and management
functionality available as Cmdlets, so that the server and all the running instances can be
managed from Windows Power Shell.
The final SQL Server 2008 service pack (10.00.6000, Service Pack 4) was released on
September 30, 2014.

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1EXISTING SYSTEM
The system maintains the details of customer in Excel format. The order is taken in the form
of order register which is maintained in the register book. For every year, they will change the
order register book and the Invoice number count starts from value 1. For every financial year,
the company billing will be calculated by the auditor . As per his suggestion, the company data
are maintained. Sometimes the invoice copy to the customer is put in Tally also.
Drawbacks of the Existing System :
The auditor reported that it is critical to calculate for every month total invoice because of
Account #1 and Account #2.
Account #1 is maintained for tax calculations which is done manually and also in tally
based invoice.
Account #2 is not maintained in anywhere.
Because of this Account #1 and Account #2, the stock status is improper always.
2.2 Behavior model
Data flow diagram:
The data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical tool used for expressing
system requirements in a graphical form. The DFD also known as the bubble
chart has the purpose of clarifying system requirements and identifying
major transformations that will become programs in system design. Thus
DFD can be stated as the starting point of the design phase that functionally
17

decomposes the requirements specifications down to the lowest level of

detail. The DFD consists of series of bubbles joined by lines. The bubbles
represent data transformations and the lines represent data flows in the
system
RULES USED FOR CONSTRUCTING A DFD

Process should be named and numbered for easy reference.

Each name should be representative of the process.

The direction of flow is from top to bottom and from left to right.

That is data flow should be from source to destination.

When a process is exploded into lower level details, they are

numbered.

The name of the data stores, sources and destinations are written in
capital letters.

Process and data flow names have the first letter of each word
capitalized. The DFD is particularly designed to aid communication.

If it contains dozens of process and data stores it gets too unwieldy.

The rule of the thumb is to explode the DFD into a functional level.

It is best to take each function separately and expand it to show the

explosion in a single process. If a user wants to know what happens
within a given process, then the detailed explosion of that process may
be shown.

DFD SYMBOLS
In the DFD, there are four Symbols

A square define a source or destination system data

An arrow identified data flow. It is the pipeline through which the information
flow

A circle or a bubble represents a process that transforms

Incoming data flow into outgoing data flows

An open rectangle is a data store, data at rest or a temporary of data

2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MODEL

E-R DIAGRAMS
An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is a graphical representation of entities and their
relationships to each other, typically used in computing in regard to the organization of data
within databases or information systems. An entity is a piece of data-an object or concept about
which data is stored. A relationship is how the data is shared between entities. There are three
types of relationships between entities:
1. One-to-One
One instance of an entity (A) is associated with one other instance of another entity (B).
For example, in a database of employees, each employee name (A) is associated with
only one social security number (B).
2. One-to-Many

22

One instance of an entity (A) is associated with zero, one or many instances of another
entity (B), but for one instance of entity B there is only one instance of entity A. For
example, for a company with all employees working in one building, the building name
(A) is associated with many different employees (B), but those employees all share the
same singular association with entity A.
3. Many-to-Many
One instance of an entity (A) is associated with one, zero or many instances of another
entity (B), and one instance of entity B is associated with one, zero or many instances of
entity A. For example, for a company in which all of its employees work on multiple
projects, each instance of an employee (A) is associated with many instances of a project
(B), and at the same time, each instance of a project (B) has multiple employees (A)
associated with it.

3.SYSTEM DESIGN

3.1 DATABASE DESIGN

Data Constraints
All business in the world runs on business data being gathered stored and analyzed.
Business managers determine a set of rules that must be applied to the data being stored to
ensure its integrity.
Types of Data Constraints
24

There are two types of data constraints that can be applied to data being inserted into a
database table .One type of constraint is called an I/O constraint. The other type of constraint is
called a business rule constraint.
I/O Constraints
The input /output data constraint is further divided into two distinctly different constraints.
The Primary Key Constraint
Here the data constraint attached to a column ensures:

That the data entered in the table column is unique across the entire

column.

That none of the cells belonging to the table column are left empty.

The Foreign Key Constraint

Foreign constraint establishes a relationship between records across a master and a detail
table. The relationship ensures.

Records cannot be inserted in a detail table if corresponding records in the master

table does not exist.

Records of the master table cannot be deleted if corresponding records in the

detail table exist.

Business Rule Constraints
The Database allows the application of business rules to table columns. Business
managers determine business rules.
The Database allows programmers to define constraints at:

Column Level

Table Level

Column Level Constraints

If data constraints are defined along with the column definition where creating or altering
a table structure, they are column level constraints.
25

Table Level Constraints

If data constraints are defined after defining all the table columns when creating or altering
a table structure, it is a table level constraint.
Null Value Concepts
A NULL value is different from a blank of zero. NULL values are treated specially by the
database. A NULL value can be inserted into the columns of any data type.

3.2 INPUT DESIGN:

Input Design is the process of converting the user-oriented description of the computer
based business information into program-oriented specification. The goal of designing input data
is to make the automation as easy and free from errors as possible. In this system , the input
designs are Employee Personal Details, Employee Shift Details, Employee Transfer Details,
Employee Overtime Details, Employee Official duty Details, Employee Leave Application
Details.
The input design is the link between the information system and the user. It comprises the
developing specification and procedures for data preparation and those steps are necessary to put
transaction data in to a usable form for processing can be achieved by inspecting the computer to
27

read data from a written or printed document or it can occur by having people keying the data
directly into the system. The design of input focuses on controlling the amount of input required,
controlling the errors, avoiding delay, avoiding extra steps and keeping the process simple. The
input is designed in such a way so that it provides security and ease of use with retaining the
privacy. Input Design considered the following things:
What data should be given as input?
How the data should be arranged or coded?
The dialog to guide the operating personnel in providing input.
Methods for preparing input validations and steps to follow when error occur.
It is the process of converting the user-oriented description of the computer based
business information into program-oriented specification. The goal of designing input data is to
make the automation as easy and free from errors as possible.

3.3 OUTPUT DESIGN:

32

A quality output is one, which meets the requirements of the end user and presents the
information clearly. In any system results of processing are communicated to the users and to
other system through outputs. In output design it is determined how the information is to be
displaced for immediate need and also the hard copy output. It is the most important and direct
source information to the user. Efficient and intelligent output design improves the systems
relationship to help user decision-making.
1. Designing computer output should proceed in an organized, well thought out manner; the right
output must be developed while ensuring that each output element is designed so that people will
find the system can use easily and effectively. When analysis design computer output, they
should Identify the specific output that is needed to meet the requirements.
2.Select methods for presenting information.
3.Create document, report, or other formats that contain information produced by the system.
The output form of an information system should accomplish one or more of the following
objectives.
Convey information about past activities, current status or projections of the
Future.
Signal important events, opportunities, problems, or warnings.

4. CONCLUSION:
37

The System reduces the Clerical work and result in retrieval of information,
which is very vital for the progress of an organization. Cost is minimized in the case of
the stationary and man power. Burden of Manual work is reduced whenever
transaction takes place, where there is no need for recording it many places manually.
The report can be taken easily.
The Developed system is highly interactive one and is user friendly as it
enabled by menu. The System provides accurate updating, data validation and
integrity is observed in the system.
Further extensions in the system can be made to submit more reports to the
managements, this will give the management is clear picture of the process of the
current system.
