ok break you project into small chunks from your title you need to research how to use a input box lesson one Google it. then you will need a way of recording what hotels you are rating (how you do this will depend on how you are get the data). To be honest it is hard for me or anyone to help you with very limited information about your project. Make no mistake we like helping people but you need to help us help you by giving us the require information.

You code an application that displays a bar chart. The bar chart depicts the ratings for five hotels. The Create Bar Chart button click event procedure should allow the user to enter the hotel rating for each of five hotels. The rating can be through 1 to 6 only. Use the inputbox function to get each rating. If the user enters an invalid rating, the procedure should display an appropriate message in a message box and then ask the user for the hotel's rating again. (In other words, the procedure should not accept an invalid rating) Use each hotel's rating to display the appropiate number of asterisks in the bar chart.

first of hit your teacher a slap for me Pleassss, why does he want a bar chart with asterisks makes no sense. i think you need to clear up with him want he means by bar chart.

Ok so you need to look up how to use the bar chart control(as for asterisks that's just stupid):

this should get started.
http://www.dreaminco...draw-bar-chart/

Then you need to look up button click events:

then you need to look up if else statments to check for int values between 0 and 6.

for example (sudo code) :

If i as int < 7 Then
'do something
else
messgaebox.show("sorry you need to enter a value between 0 and 6")
end if

try what i have said then get back to me but check with you teacher about the asterisks part i don't get why he wants asterisks

i am going to try this and its a she lol just giving us a problem from the book

[m_wylie85]

but i just don't understand the asterisks part, why, lol get the book she use the way to do this will be in the book.

I just want to say wylie thank you for having the patience enough to respond to this. The whole bar chart idea just demotivates me greatly, and knowing how teachers can be I doubt it's going to change lol. Back on track, projects like this are like objects. Take for example a car, it's made of many different pieces or objects if you will. So break your car down into objects, and figure out how to make those objects first. When you're done then you can put your car together. Good luck hope you figure it out

Tip: Start with a Console application. Get the basic of problem sorted out first.

• Get several user ratings of 5 hotels (A rating being within the range 1 - 5 inclusive).
  
• Generate an average rating for each other.

Apply some problem analysis skills to each part.

• I'm going need some form loop structure pattern.
  - Over the users
  - Over the user rating each hotel.
  
• I'm going need get user input.
  
• I need to verify that input is valid. Valid being a number within range 1 - 6
  
• I need to devise so way keeping a record of the ratings.

part 2

• I need to find out how calculate an average.
  
• I need to find out how to generate an out of stars.

etc etc

Now it time to start coding.

i have actually done some coding still not coming out right

Dim strRating As String
        strRating = InputBox("Hotel Rating", "Enter Here")

        For intCounter As Integer = 1 To 6
            lblStars.Text = lblStars.Text &
                "*"

        Next intCounter


        If IsDate(strRating) Then
            MsgBox("The student was born on " & CDate(strRating).ToString("D"), _
                   MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly Or MsgBoxStyle.Information, _
                   "Hotel Rating")
        Else
            If strRating <= 7 Then

                MsgBox("Enter Hotel Rating again", _
                       MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly Or MsgBoxStyle.Information, _
                       "Hotel Rating")
            End If
        End If
    End Sub



End Class
