03 - Working with our Projects with Windows Controls

Now that I've showed what a form would look like and set the location of toolbox for easy access to the list of controls available in Visual Basic.NET Express Edition. We are ready to start our development.

Exercise: We are going to create program that needs a user to input a character on a text box before it will display those typed character/s, the user needs to click the button.

Step 1. In toolbox, under Common controls, look for label. Click and drag it into the form.
Step 2. In toolbox, under Common controls, look for TextBox. Click and drag it into the form.
Step 3. In toolbox, under Common controls, look for Button. Click and drag it into the form.

It will look like these with step 1 to 3

Step 4. Double click the button, a form will display and type this:

What is a MsgBox? 
- It is a pop-up notification that will display a text.

Step 5. Click Debug > Start Debugging or you could just press F5 to compile and run.
