We are evaluating the feasibility of converting our photo album application to VB.NET. We want a prototype with the features below to assess the viability:
* Application has toolbar on left and top, a caption bar and a menu bar
* Centered in the main window is the “page?? which always stays centered
* Pages can have the following objects
* * Rich Text
* Graphic (at least gif, bmp and jpg support)
* Add, delete and move pages
* Go to next, previous, Nth page
* Zoom page in and out (with scroll bars when page is not fully shown) note that all objects must resize and text must resize relative to page size and not clip.
* Add, delete, move and size objects
* Save all pages and objects to a file
* Open saved album files
* Print and print preview
* Page size and orientation can be specified (e.g. 8 1/2x11, A4, 8x8 etc… or any size in inch or cm)
* Any page can be exported as bitmap (bmp, jpg or Gif) without needing to go to or show that page on the screen.
Note: components can be used
Design considerations:
1. The speed of displaying pages, especially when many photos are on a page is critical.
2. The whole page should display at once and not one object at a time.
3. The file size of resulting album files should be kept to a minimum.
4. The objects must print in the same location on the paper as they are on the screen page.
5. File save must not take too long for large albums with lots of pages and photos.
6. A typical album is expected to have at most 50 pages and at most 20 photos on each page, but some could be bigger.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
