Notepad-Like Editor With Encryption

Brief Overview of the Final Project

I've redefined the final project to make it easier for you.  My original plans included assumptions about your level of expertise which were inaccurate.  The new project is much smaller in size, has fewer parts and is more useful in the real world.

Your mission is to create an editor similar to Microsoft's Notepad application.  Nearly all of the major components necessary to complete the project are included as default behavior in Visual Basic's tool box.  Specifically, the TextBox provides most of the functionality you need for a text editor.  The MainMenu control can easily be tailored to create the various menu options you will need.

The added twist is that your final project will permit you to encrypt and decrypt messages, thereby keeping them protected from prying eyes.

In combination with what you have already learned in class and in the book, this document will provide you the additional knowledge you need to complete your project.
