The date of issue and the due date shall be recorded for each video rented out. It shall also have the information about the cost of each video rented. The customer can subscribe for these videos for a period of time. This tool is developed using Visual Basic projects and has connectivity to database MS Access.

Existing System

The video rental centers transacted their videos manually. It was a difficult task to manage all the videos with their date of issue and return. There was no centralized repository of videos. It was a difficult task to search for videos. The centers had trouble tracking videos and their due dates. Even the customer details were noted manually. Keeping track of records was a difficult task.

Proposed System

This is a simple Video Rental Management System interface written in VB which could help the user at the rental center to track all the rented videos. The user has to log in to the system. The user can view all the videos that are rented in a list view. Each record consists of the name of the video, the customer name, the date when it is rented, due date and the video rental cost. The user also can view all the videos that exists in the center. Video Rental Management System is a huge repository of videos. The database of videos is categorized into different languages and genres. Based on their category user can search for a specific video. The customer can subscribe for the videos at a particular cost for a period of time. These details will be stored in the customer detail in the database. Each video will have the name, and the date on which video is rented with the customer name. If the customer exceeds certain rental period then a small fine shall be collected from the customer. This Video Rental Management System has database connectivity to MS Access. Data is fetched from different tables and displayed to the user in list view. The user has the option to add new videos to the database. He also has an option to edit the details of video.

The main aim of this Software Inventory System project is to list all the software available in your organization. When you have to maintain lots of software versions and tools in a group or network, it would be easier if there is a tool or application to list out all these software versions and their CD keys. This would ease the users to maintain the software available with them. This User interface would help them to add or edit any software application in their organization. This is a simple Software Inventory System application which is developed using Visual basic Projects. The data related to these software and CD keys is maintained in a database. The user can retrieve the list of software, CD keys and the company to which the software is proprietary.

Existing Software Inventory System

It was difficult for users to track many different software and their versions which are installed in various machines across the organization. The user had to search for the different software installed in all the machines. They would have to check with the registries of these machines for the software installations. It was a tedious task for the users. There would be an update in software versions. To check for the correct version of software installed on systems would be a difficult task. They need to check if the licensed copy of the software exists. This would consume a lot of time for the users. The resources of the company would be utilized more efficiently if there was a system that would track all the software available with their CD keys.

Proposed System

This Software Inventory System Interface will help the user to check for software available on the systems. In other words, it is an inventory tool to check for different software available in a particular set up. It is a simple graphical user interface developed using Visual Basic. The Software Inventory System application will allow the user to enter software name, the CD key and the company name and shall be saved on to the database. A display grid displays all the software available with their respective CD keys. A search panel will help the user to specify a particular software name. If the software exists, then the details are displayed in a grid view. It displays the software name, CD key and the company name. The user can edit the details of the record by double clicking on the record. The user can update the details accordingly and save it. A simple Access database is used to store these details in tables. A robust database connectivity through he UI will help the user to search and retrieve the list faster. The user can clear the search fields and search again for different software names. This helps the user to quickly know the inventory of software in an organization.

The main objective of the Simple Chat Room project is to create a chat application which helps different users to communicate with each other through a server connected. This is a simple chat program with a server and can have many clients. The server needs to be started first and clients can be connected later. Simple Chat Room provides a bidirectional communication between client and server. It enables user to seamlessly communicate with each other. The user has an option to login to the chat room. The user should be able to give the ip address of the server and the port at which he is connecting. The user can chat using this chat application. The server shall poll for other users that are active in the chat room and make those users visible. If the user at the other end is active then they can start a chat session. The chat is recorded in the application. The user can save the chat transcript or clear it based on his requirement.

Existing System

Earlier there was no mode of online communication between users. In big or small organizations communication between users posed a challenge. There was a requirement to record these communications and store the data for further evaluation. The idea is to automate the existing Simple Chat Room system and make the users to utilize the software so that their valuable information is stored digitally and can be retrieve for further management purposes. There was no online method of communicating to different users. There were many different interfaces available in the market but this method of using windows sockets to communicate between nodes would be fast and reliable.

Proposed Simple Chat Room

This Simple Chat Room application will enable the user to chat with the logged users in the chat room. The server should be active. The users shall connect to this server at the predefined port number. To start using this tool, the user has to register with this tool. Through the valid login, password details, the application shall allow the user to use the chat room. The user shall be able to connect to this server and can chat with other users. The logged in user can view other active users in the chat room. The user can initiate the conversation through the chat window. For the communication to happen, both the users should have connected to the server. This application is developed using visual Basic projects. The windows sockets are used in the application for communication between client and server. They provide a robust way of communication between nodes. The user also can clear the chat transcript if required. It also provides an option to save the chat transcript. Users can view the status of other users in the chat room like if the user is currently online or offline or busy.
