The use of C# computer programme to develop automated agronomic information
system was demonstrated using Microsoft Access 2007 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 suits.
The database table listing such essential agronomic information as crop name, scientific name,
crop category I, crop category II, planting date, crop spacing, crop population per hectare, maturation,
yield, common diseases, common pests and soil requirement was created in Microsoft Access and
saved with .accdb file format. The Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 was launched and a new project
created with Windows Forms Application Templates and C# project type. The design and user
interfaces were created after activating the Toolbox for the application of the Label, Text and Button
controls. The double click on the Add button displayed the code page for coding the information
while the debugging displayed the user interface. When the crop name was entered in the space
provided in the user interface and the Load Information button clicked, the agronomic information
on a particular crop already stored in the database was displayed while the Reset button cleared all
the information for a reentry of another crop name. Click once method of application publishing
was used for programme publishing and installation on another computer.
