Any instructions required to run the assignment should be provided in a README.txt file included in the completed assignment.

 

Task:

 

Create an in-memory, read-only book database. The database is to be loaded using the data in the BookDatabase.xml file (provided).

 

You must start the application using the following command from the command prompt

 

> BookDatabase

 

in Visual Studio 2010.

 

The application must then prompt you with the following options:

 

search by keyword [kw]

search by title [t]

search by price [p]

list [l]

 

The user must then enter one of the following:

 

 kw

 t p

 l

 

If the user entered one of kw, t, or p, then the application will prompt the user to enter the appropriate value that is one of a keyword, a title, or a price. The application will then perform an appropriate search of the XML file database and display any matches found or “No Match”.

 

When searching by price the expected result is the list of books with the entered price value.

 

If the user entered ‘l’, then the application would list all books in the database.

 

When displaying a book, the application must include the title, price and the list of authors. 

 

The application should handle any invalid user input, responding with an appropriate error message.
