6 Client-Server Functionality of the Electronic Class Schedule
6.1 Schedule File Server Overview
The schedule file server program was designed to serve as a file server for the
electronic class schedules, as well as creating the schedule picture files from data
retrieved from the school schedule website. The functional block diagram can be seen
in figure 21.
Figure 21: Schedule File Server Functional Block Diagram.
As shown in the figure, the proposed function of the NFS is to access the school’s web
server for information to be used in making the schedules. The schedules are then held
in local storage on the NFS until they are ready to be sent. The electronic class
schedules can open a wireless connection and retrieve these files when needed.
The schedule file server has been written in the higher level language C# using
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional. This was chosen to take advantage of the
form and list box capabilities, as well as the libraries for TCP/IP communication.
