Details

Use this property to select which tax is to be calculated. For example:

.NET

// using TaxControls;
try {
  TaxControl tc = new TaxControl();
  tc.DataFilename = "us.dat";
  tc.SelectedTax = "federal income tax";
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

Java

//import com.boondocks.taxcontrols.*;
try {
  TaxControl tc = new TaxControl();
  tc.setDataFilename("us.dat");
  tc.setSelectedTax("federal income tax";
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

Note: Setting the value to a nonexistent tax will cause a run-time error, as will setting this value before setting DataFilename (see Error Messages).
