I would like to ask for suggestions.

In our class in Visual Basic, we are required to turn in a payroll system with time monitoring. And I have prepared already the GUI interface of my system. My question is what kind of collection of data should I use, considering the employee population of 30 (that’s what our instructor have told us.)

Should I use:

  1. Arrays to store them like every field (employee number, employee last name, etc.) has its own array.

  2. Sequential files for me to store them in a text file (and if in the text file, could I still retrieve the records inside that text file.)

  3. A Database.

I need suggestions on what should I choose.

    Arrays would be OK as they’re easy to implement for the size of your project. You can create a class for Employers and define an array of Employers to store their information in your application.

    If you want to use files to save those data to disk, consider using the in-built .NET XML serializer.

    Finally you can use DBs to store larger amounts of data but again for only 30 employers, you won’t need a database.
