TITLE– AIRLINE
RESERVATION SYSTEM

 Brief Description:

Visual Basic (VB), originally called Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET), is a multi-
paradigm, object-oriented programming language, implemented on .NET and the
.NET Framework. Microsoft launched VB.NET in 2002 as the successor to its
original Visual Basic language, the last version of which was Visual Basic 6.0.
Although the ".NET" portion of the name was dropped in 2005, this article uses
"Visual Basic [.NET]" to refer to all Visual Basic languages released since
2002, in order to distinguish between them and the classic Visual Basic. Along
with C# and F#, it is one of the three main languages targeting the .NET
ecosystem. Microsoft updated its VB language strategy on 6 Feb 2023 stating
that VB is a stable language now and Microsoft will keep maintaining it.

 Introduction:

In this micro-project, we have created a Phonebook management system using

.NET framework which will provide the basic functionalities that a Phonebook
should provide. This project is done in very efficient manner by involvement of
all team and with the help of our project guide.
In this project, for creating a Phonebook system we have used different .NET
components like button, textbox, datagridview, panel,errorprovider etc.
We also used the concept of Regular expression to check the entered phone
number and mail by a user does follows the required pattern for respectives.
Here, we have used Sql Database for storing the different contacts permentaly.
This phonebook system has all the basic functalities like adding a contact,
deleting a contact, updating a contact, a search bar.
The componenet datagridview is only used to display all contacts which are
available in system and it will also display the information of those contacts
which are searched by using search bar.
For a used-friendly UI we have used MenuStrip component which contains all
the functionalities of system.

 Aim of Project:

The aim of the project is to understand how system is generated under .NET
framework and how to link database with it.

 Course Outcomes Achieved:

o To understand how to develop a system using .NET framework.

o To understand the different components of .NET framework.
o To learn how to connect a database with system.

 Literature Review:

Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) has proved to be a popular programming language,

especially in business programming.1 Take up by end users within the
Laboratory Automation industry appears to be fairly high. This is because of the
familiarity many people have with VB for Applications (VBA) through using
other Microsoft products such as Excel and Word. The easy to use syntax
enables rapid application development (RAD) that has made it suitable for
creating small programs that are commonly required in the laboratory.
The latest incarnation of VB is known as VB 2005. It is a programming
language that uses the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0, a new form of
Windows API that is much more extensive and Object Oriented. This has been a
massive change for VB since it was introduced back in 2002 under the name
VB.NET. This is because the Framework is substantially more advanced in
terms of objects and components compared to COM, on which VB was
previously based.

System Design :

 User Interface (UI):

 The UI will consist of forms for user login, account creation, seat reservation,
and admin access.
 It will display information like available flights, seat availability, prices, etc.

 Database:

 Use a relational database like Microsoft Access (as in the provided code) to
store user accounts, reservations, and other relevant information.
 Tables like lg for user accounts, reserve for reservations, and possibly others
for flight information, pricing, etc., may be needed.

 Backend Logic:

 Implement backend logic to handle user authentication, account

creation, reservation processing, and admin functionalities.
 Use OleDb for database connectivity and SQL queries for data manipulation.

 User Authentication:

 Verify user credentials against the database during login.

 Create new user accounts and store them in the database.

 Reservation System:

 Allow users to select their source and destination cities, choose a flight,
and reserve seats.
 Calculate the fare based on the selected flight and display it to the user.
 Store the reservation details in the database.

 Admin Access:

 Provide a separate login for admins to access the system.

 Admins can view all reservations, cancel reservations, and perform
other administrative tasks.

 Error Handling:

 Implement error handling mechanisms to deal with invalid inputs, database

errors, etc.
 Display informative messages to users in case of errors or exceptions.

 Security:

 Ensure that user passwords are stored securely (hashed and salted) in the database.
 Use HTTPS for secure communication between the client and server.

 Scalability and Performance:

 Design the system to handle a large number of users and reservations.

 Optimize database queries and system architecture for better performance.

 Testing:

 Perform thorough testing of the system to ensure its functionality, security,

and performance.
 Include unit tests, integration tests, and possibly user acceptance tests.

This is a basic outline of the system design for the given program. Depending on the
specific requirements and features of your application, you may need to add or modify
certain components
