Project 1: Time Sheet Calculator

Okay, so this whole thing started the other day when I got sick of doing payroll. At my workplace, the staff members clock in and clock out with and old-fashioned time card system, once which prints the time on a piece of card stock. Every other Thursday, I have to go through every single card, calculate the shift times in my head, and then add them all up on my own. It's a tedious and pointless process. I could spend a couple hundred bucks to buy an electronic system that would make it automatic. That, OR--!!!

I downloaded Visual C# Express, since I heard every retard on the planet is using C# these days. I learned what I needed to know from the in-program documentation, and start to finish spent about 30 or 40 minutes. Here's what I ended up with:


It's ugly, right? But it gets the job done. I spend about 2 hours per payroll adding all that up--with this, I'll probably spend 15 minutes.

Here's the code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace PayrollMcGee
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void TotalLabel_Update()
{
TotalLabel.Text = ((dateTimePicker2.Value - dateTimePicker1.Value) +
(dateTimePicker4.Value - dateTimePicker3.Value) +
(dateTimePicker6.Value - dateTimePicker5.Value) +
(dateTimePicker8.Value - dateTimePicker7.Value) +
(dateTimePicker10.Value - dateTimePicker9.Value) +
(dateTimePicker12.Value - dateTimePicker11.Value) +
(dateTimePicker14.Value - dateTimePicker13.Value) +
(dateTimePicker16.Value - dateTimePicker15.Value) +
(dateTimePicker18.Value - dateTimePicker17.Value) +
(dateTimePicker20.Value - dateTimePicker19.Value) +
(dateTimePicker22.Value - dateTimePicker21.Value) +
(dateTimePicker24.Value - dateTimePicker23.Value) +
(dateTimePicker26.Value - dateTimePicker25.Value) +
(dateTimePicker28.Value - dateTimePicker27.Value)).ToString();
}

private void dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TotalLabel_Update();
}

private void dateTimePicker2_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TotalLabel_Update();
}

...

private void dateTimePicker28_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TotalLabel_Update();
}
}
}

Tedious, right? Just like always. It's super ghett0, completely taped together, and probably looks like something somebody would do if they'd just discovered visual programming interfaces.

So, um, yeah. That's me.
