Question

 Microsoft Visual C# 7th edition.  In Chapter 7, you modified the GreenvilleRevenue program to include a number of methods.

Now, using your code from Chapter 7 Case Study 1, modify your program so every data entry statement uses a TryParse() method to ensure that each piece of data is the correct type.

Any invalid user entries should generate an appropriate message that contains the word Invalid, and the user should be required to reenter the data.
