VB InputBox

[Mori]

Hi,

What can I use for the equivalent VB InputBox to get a string from the user?

thanks,
Mori

Thanks Nicholas but I'm trying to do without using the VisualBasic.dll if
possible.

Mori,

You can set a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll and then call the
static InputBox method on the Interaction class in the Microsoft.VisualBasic
namespace.

Hope this helps.

Mori,

Then you will have to create your own form and handle the input
yourself.

I'm curious, why are you trying to avoid it? It's managed code, and it
is distributed with the runtime, so it is guaranteed to be there.

I'm using all .NET components in my (first) C# application and I don't want
to have to rely on any old dlls to shortcut any problems. I know it is code
that is already written and tested but because I'm learning a new language
and environment, I'm making every effort to stick to it.

I'll write my own form to do the job. Any ideas how I stop the code from
running whilst the user types in his/her input and presses the OK button.
eg.
..
..
..lines of code

result = MyNewInputForm("Input some info please");
..
..Carry on with program
..
..

Thanks
Mori

It's OK, I've done it, I wrote a Show() method that returns a value.

Yep, I would have used it without question. Sorry for my ignorance chaps, it
was just the name that scared me away. I will have a rethink (and perhaps a
little study).

Thanks for your knowledge.
Mori

Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll is just a name.
If it was called Microsoft.Utilities.dll you would you use
it wouldnt you ;-)
