Using Arrays to Store Song Data
In this part of the project you will use arrays to store the song data and then use a web browser to open the URLs for each song. Read the Project Guide provided and the project video link for instructions and details to help guide you through your efforts.

Background
This course project is designed to help you practice using your skills. Each week, you will learn important concepts. Then, you will apply these concepts to build an amazing course project over the next seven weeks. What’s more, this project will have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) instead of using the console. This course project has two parts. For the first couple of weeks, you will be create a basic GUI and learn how to work with GUI controls while practicing basic programming concepts. After that, you will create an object oriented project.
Part 1: Scenario
Lucky you! Your manager has put you in charge of the lyrics videos for the monthly lip synch contest. Each contestant “sings” along with a song of their choice, prompted by the lyrics in the video. Essentially, there is a long list of songs, along with associated URLs and other information. Your manager has some basic functionality in mind, such as the ability to add and remove songs, as well as create playlists and show the videos. The application must run fast, and be updated with new features over time. Maintenance is key!
NOTE: For this project, we strongly suggest keeping a Notepad or MS Word document handy, containing the names of a few songs and associated video URLs.
Week 4: Using arrays to store song data
Objectives
1. Create individual one-dimensional arrays for each feature of a song
2. Edit the “Find Song” capability to display all of the data associated with a song.
3. Allow the user to click on an item in the song list ListBox, and display the array information for the selected item.
Introduction
Currently, when you enter a new song, you lose the associated artist, genre, and other data because you are not storing it anywhere. This can be resolved with arrays. This week you will create an array for the title, another for the artist, etc. As you know, when you declare an array, you need to know how many items will be in the array. “In real life” you would most likely use Lists instead, but that is a topic for later. For the purposes of this project, set a maximum array size of five songs.
Steps
1. Declare arrays of titles, artists, genres, years, and URLs. These will all be arrays of strings, with the exception of the year (integer). Because you want these arrays to be used by all of the methods in the form, they should be declared inside the partial class mainForm : Form area. Here is an example of two of the arrays, each with five elements in them (i.e., five songs).
You will need to add arrays for genre, year, and url as well. All arrays are strings except year which will be an int:
int[] yearArray = new int[5];
Directly below the array initialization, include a song count variable as a counter. :
int songCount=0;
2. Edit the AddButton_Click event handler to:
a. Increment the songCount counter (which you declared and ini
