It often happens that you need to prompt the user to enter an expected value.

VB.NET Console Application:

Dim nl As String = Environment.NewLine

' say hi and ask them for a name

Console.WriteLine("Hello there. What's your name?" + nl)

Dim input = Console.ReadLine()

' say something to the user

Console.WriteLine(nl & "Nice to meet you " & input & "." & nl)

Console.Read()







VB>NET Windows Form Application







Dim prompt As String = String.Empty

Dim title As String = String.Empty

Dim defaultResponse As String = String.Empty

Dim answer As Object

' Set prompt.

prompt = "Hello there. What's your name?"

' Set title.

title = "Getting user input"

' Set default value.

defaultResponse = "Your name here"

' Display prompt, title, and default value.

answer = InputBox(prompt, title, defaultResponse)

     

' Say something to the user

Messagebox.Show("Nice to meet you " & answer)
