Car Loan Calculator
The Car Loan Calculator Web site was developed for the book Microsoft Visual
Basic 2010 Step by Step, by Michael Halvorson (Microsoft Press, 2010). The Web
site is best viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later. To learn
more about how this ADO.NET application was created, read Chapter 20 in the
book.
Operating Instructions:
Type a loan amount, without dollar sign or commas, into the Loan Amount box.
Type an interest rate in decimal format into the Interest Rate text box. Do not
include the “%” sign. For example, to specify a 9% interest rate, type “0.09.”
Note that this loan calculator assumes a three-year, 36-month payment period.
Click the Calculate button to compute the basic monthly loan payment that does
not include taxes or other fees.- Using buttons on the Formatting toolbar, add bold formatting for the headings and
italic for the book title, as shown here: - Click the Save All button on the Standard toolbar to save your changes.
- Click the Start Debugging button.
Visual Studio builds the Web site and displays it in Internet Explorer.
