Simple Barangay Information System using VB.Net

Simple Barangay Information System using VB.Net

This Simple Barangay Information System using VB.Net is dedicated to the barangays across the Philippines to be able to have a record information of their barangay residents.

The main goal of developing this system was to provide a more efficient and effective way of managing resident information using a computerized information system in order to have faster record transactions in the barangay, to help keep barangay tanod (peace and order) records safe from loss and destruction, and to be more specific and accurate in viewing the barangay residential status using the residence locator.

The system was used as a tool for the barangay to improve its governance and performance. The system was written in Visual Basic.NET and uses a mySQL database.

The barangay officials will benefit from a computerized management information system that can easily record reports, data, and information, store all information in an accessible database, allow for faster retrieval of any information, eliminate redundancy in records, and include a locator map for planning and residence locating.

The technology can also improve the barangay’s present information processing, which is laborious and time-consuming for retrieving vital data.

The system has a feature that can search for the barangay resident’s information if a person wants to know the address of the barangay resident.

In order for a person to quickly search for the address of the barangay resident, the person can simply go to Barangay Hall and ask for the details of the constituent.

This Simple Barangay Information System using VB.Net is developed using VB.Net programming language, and for its database is the mySQL.

Here are the features of the Simple Barangay Information System using VB.Net:

1. Add Constituent or Barangay Resident Information
2. Update Constituent or Barangay Resident Information
3. Delete Constituent or Barangay Resident Information
4. Search for the Constituent or Barangay Resident by:
   1. Firstname
   2. Lastname
   3. Address

Technology stack and requirements

To run this VB.NET project, you need the following on your development machine:

• Visual Studio 2019 or later. The free Community Edition is enough for building, debugging, and running the project.
• .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher. Most Windows 10 and 11 systems have it preinstalled through Windows Update.
• MySQL Server 8.0 or MSSQL Express 2019. Choose whichever your capstone panel prefers; both work with VB.NET data adapters.
• MySQL Connector/NET or SqlClient library. Add via NuGet Package Manager inside Visual Studio.
• Crystal Reports (optional). Required only if the project generates printable reports; install the runtime redistributable.

Installing the source code

The download link contains a ZIP archive with the full solution. Extract and set up in five steps:

1. Extract the archive to a folder outside Program Files (avoids permission issues).
2. Open the .sln file in Visual Studio. It loads the full solution with all forms and modules.
3. Restore NuGet packages. Right-click the solution then Restore NuGet Packages if prompted.
4. Import the database. Locate the .sql file in the archive and import via phpMyAdmin (MySQL) or SQL Server Management Studio.
5. Update the connection string in App.config or module code to match your local database name, user, and password.

How to use this project for your BSIT capstone

This VB.NET project maps cleanly to standard BSIT capstone documentation. Suggested chapter alignment:

• Chapter 1 (Introduction). Discuss the problem the system solves in real-world context. Cite Philippine business or academic use cases where a manual process could be replaced.
• Chapter 2 (Review of Related Literature). Compare this system’s features against 5-10 similar published projects. Cite journals like IJERT or IEEE Access for academic-standard sources.
• Chapter 3 (Methodology). Include Use Case Diagram, Data Flow Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram, and Activity Diagram covering all major workflows in the system.
• Chapter 4 (Results and Discussion). Screenshot each module of the running system with a caption explaining what data it processes and which user role interacts with it.
• Chapter 5 (Conclusion and Recommendations). Identify features that could be added in a Version 2, such as web dashboard, mobile app, or REST API export.

Modules typical of Simple Barangay Information System using VB.Net

• Master data. CRUD forms for the primary entities the system manages, with search and filter.
• Transaction processing. Data entry forms for the day-to-day operations the system automates.
• Reports. Formatted printable output summarizing activity per day, per user, or per category.
• User management. Login with role-based permissions (Admin, Encoder, Viewer).
