Taxes

A collection of Tax objects generated from the tax table.

Syntax

.NET

value = object.Taxes

Java

value = object.getTaxes()

object is a TaxControl instance.

value is a Tax array variable.

Details

The Taxes object represents a collection of Tax objects. This collection has the following properties:

Name	Description
Count	Number of Tax objects in the collection
Item(x)	Method for accessing a tax object by name or position. If x is a number (.NET only), get the xth object. If x is a string, get the tax item with the name matching the string. Matches are case-insensitive.

Examples

Using these properties, it is possible to enumerate all Tax objects in the tax table file.

Using Taxes.Item numerically:

.NET

// using TaxControls;
try {
  CTaxControl tc = new CTaxControl();
  tc.DataFilename = "us.dat";
  for (int i=0; i<tc.Taxes.Count; i++) {
    Tax t = tc.Taxes.Item(i);
    Console.WriteLine(t.Name);
  }
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

Java

// (not applicable in Java)

Using Taxes.Item with the tax name:

.NET

// using TaxControls;
try {
  CTaxControl tc = new CTaxControl();
  tc.DataFilename = "us.dat";
  Tax t = tc.Taxes.Item("Federal Income Tax");
  Console.WriteLine(t.Instructions);
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

Java

//import com.boondocks.taxcontrols.*;
try {
  TaxControl tc = new TaxControl();
  tc.setDataFilename("us.dat");
  Tax t = tc.Taxes.get("Federal Income Tax");
  System.out.println(t.getInstructions());
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

Using enumeration of the collection:

.NET

// using TaxControls;
try {
  CTaxControl tc = new CTaxControl();
  tc.DataFilename = "us.dat";
  foreach (Tax t in tc.Taxes) {
    Console.WriteLine(t.Name);
  }
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

Java

//import com.boondocks.taxcontrols.*;
try {
  TaxControl tc = new TaxControl();
  tc.setDataFilename("us.dat");
  Enumeration e = tc.getTaxes();
  for (e.elements(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
    Tax t = (Tax) e.nextElement();
    System.out.println(t.getName());
  }
} catch (TaxControlException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
