How to Get a Response From a Message Box in VB.Net
The VB.NET InputBox class lets you display a dialog window to your readers and retrieve the input sent by the user. The retrieved input is set as a VB.NET string variable, and you can process the information with any other form input. Input boxes in VB.NET allow programmers to set up a separate window for important information before sending the data to a separate processing file.
