Currency Converter Project

IT 236 -- Currency Converter Project

Goal: Write an Windows application that can convert one of the currencies Dollar, Pound, Euro, Yen or Ruble to one of the other currencies.

On June 12, 2006 the value of one unit of each of these currencies in dollars was 1.00000, 1.84065, 1.25771, 0.00873107, 0.0369836, respectively.
Your application should have three textboxes for input labeled Source Currency, Target Currency and Source Amount. It should have one textbox for output labeled Target Amount. It should have a button with the caption Convert Currency.
When the Convert Currency button is clicked, the Click event handler for that button should compute the target amount and display the flag associated with the target amount in a picture box. You can use these flag images: dollar.gif pound.gif euro.gif yen.gif ruble.gif
Use this pseudocode to obtain the source rate:
If sourceCurrency is Dollar Then
    Assign sourceRate to 1.00000
ElseIf sourceCurrency is Pound Then
    Assign sourceRate to 1.84065
ElseIf sourceCurrency is Euro Then
    Assign sourceRate to 1.25771
ElseIf sourceCurrency is Yen Then
    Assign sourceRate to 0.00873107
ElseIf sourceCurrency is Ruble Then
    Assign sourceRate to 0.0369836
End If
Use similar pseudocode to obtain the target rate. At the same time you set the target rate, display the flag corresponding to the target currency.
Use this formula to compute the target amount:

targetAmount =

(sourceAmount)(sourceRate)

targetRate
Use the following statement to round off the target amount:
txtTargetAmount.Text = targetAmount.ToString("#,##0.0000")
