  6. On to the Order Processing form, double-click the Start Date date time picker control
  7. Implement the event as follows:
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using System.IO;
    
    namespace BethesdaCarRental2
    {
        public partial class OrderProcessing : Form
        {
            public OrderProcessing()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
    
            private void dtpStartDate_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
                dtpEndDate.Value = dtpStartDate.Value;
            }
        }
    }
  8. Return to the Order Processing form and double-click the End Date control
  9. Implement its event as follows:
    // This event approximately evaluates the number of days as a
    // difference between the end date and the starting date
    private void dtpEndDate_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int days;
    
        DateTime dteStart = this.dtpStartDate.Value;
        DateTime dteEnd = this.dtpEndDate.Value;
    
        // Let's calculate the difference in days
        TimeSpan tme = dteEnd - dteStart;
        days = tme.Days;
    
        // If the customer returns the car the same day, 
        // we consider that the car was rented for 1 day
        if (days == 0)
            days = 1;
    
        txtDays.Text = days.ToString();
        // At any case, we will let the clerk specify the actual number of days
    }
  10. Return to the Order Processing form and double-click the Rental Rates button
  11. Implement its event as follows:
    private void btnRentalRates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RentalRates wndRates = new RentalRates();
        wndRates.Show();
    }
  12. Return to the Order Processing form and double-click the Calculate button
  13. Implement its event as follows:
    private void btnCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int    Days = 0;
        double RateApplied = 0.00;
        double SubTotal = 0.00;
        double TaxRate = 0.00;
        double TaxAmount = 0.00;
        double OrderTotal = 0.00;
    
        try
        {
            Days = int.Parse(this.txtDays.Text);
        }
        catch (FormatException)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid Number of Days");
        }
    
        try
        {
            RateApplied = double.Parse(txtRateApplied.Text);
        }
        catch (FormatException)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid Amount for Rate Applied");
        }
    
        SubTotal = Days * RateApplied;
        txtSubTotal.Text = SubTotal.ToString("F");
    
        try
        {
            TaxRate = double.Parse(txtTaxRate.Text);
        }
        catch (FormatException)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Invalid Tax Rate");
        }
    
        TaxAmount = SubTotal * TaxRate / 100;
        txtTaxAmount.Text = TaxAmount.ToString("F");
    
        OrderTotal = SubTotal + TaxAmount;
        txtOrderTotal.Text = OrderTotal.ToString("F");
    }
  14. Return to the Order Processing form
  15. From the Printing section of the Toolbox, click PrintDocument and click the form
  16. In the Properties window, set its (Name) to docPrint and press Enter
