Microsoft Visual C++/CLI Step by Step

2. 

Modify the main function as follows, which gives the user the option to break or continue if 

desired:

Console::WriteLine("Welcome to your calendar assistant"); 

for (int count = 1; count <= 5; count++) 

{ 

    Console::Write("\nPlease enter date "); 

    Console::WriteLine(count); 

    int year = GetYear(); 

    int month = GetMonth(); 

    int day = GetDay(year, month); 

 

    Console::Write("Press B (break), C (continue), or "); 

    Console::Write("anything else to display date "); 

    String ^input = Console::ReadLine(); 

    if (input->Equals("B")) 

    { 

        break; 

    } 

    else if (input->Equals("C")) 

    { 

        continue; 

    } 

    DisplayDate(year, month, day); 

}

Note The Equals method is used here to check that two strings contain the same 

content. You will see another (and more idiomatic) way to do this using the == 

operator when we discuss operator overloading.
