Class,

 

There is a mistake in the IP 4 assignment.  You DO NOT have to do the pig latin part.  The correct assignment is listed below:

 

Step 1: Given a file of data, read the data and parse it based on a fixed given field headers. To download the file, select the following link: 

  Eliminate the last column (Pig-Latin) in the data file.

 

The file is a comma delimited file with the following record structure:

·         FirstName – Character – Size (12)

·         LastName – Character – Size (16)

·         Company – Character – Size (32)

·         Address – Character – Size (32)

·         City – Character – Size (24)

·         County – Character – Size (24)

·         State – Character – Size (2)

·         ZIP – Number – Size (5)

·         Phone – Character – Size (12)

·         Fax – Character – Size (12)

·         Email – Character – Size (32)

·         Web – Character – Size (42)

Step 2: Write a complete C# program in console mode to load the data file as a sequential file using C# System.IO library into an ArrayList data structure (using the System.Collection library) Store each line in the file as a separate record.

Step 3: After the file is loaded into the ArrayList, sort the data in ascending order based on the LastName field. Print the following fields:

·         First name

·         Last name

·         Company

Step 4: Sort the data in descending order based on the ZIP field, and print the following fields:

·         First name

·         Last name

·         Company

·         ZIP

Step 5: Print the record (all fields) for everyone that is in the state “NY.”

Step 6: Submit the source code for the solution and the output for the 3 lists that are specified below. You can use any appropriate algorithm in the solution.

·         Sorted data based on last name

·         Sorted data based on ZIP

·         Everyone in the state of NY
