hacking game (VB.NET)

Hi, all! What I'm working on now is the beginnings of a computer hacking game. On my first (and only, as of yet) form, I have a label that instructs the user to fill in the information that's asked of them, then I have a label directly below that for a company name. I have a label "name:" and a textbox out beside that label for the user to give their name, and below that I have a label "phone number" for users to give their phone number. Now.... I should honestly remember how to do this, cause I had a class in VB6 a while back, and now I've upgraded to VB.NET.

In coding the program, I have 2 variables declared: P for phone number and N for name. Here's the catch, though..... I can get this to work for me using code like this:

Dim N as string="Adam Wilson"
Dim P as string="742-7749"


However, I don't want this to work for only me.... how can I make it so that any name or any phone number that is input will produce a message box? (I'm not telling what the message is...lol)


Also, I've tried to think my way through this as thouroughly as possible, but is there any way that I won't have to be using x number of forms for this program? is there a way in vb.net to clear my first form, then reload that form with i information (i.e.- reload the form w/ text boxes, labels, whatever I need)?


Thanks for the help! I would appreciate it if you would send replies to my email address: adam62385@aol.com


Thanks again!!

 

Not very clear.

Is this what you want todo?

Take the users input from the textboxes and assign that to your two variables.

To assign the text value of a text box to a variable use the following code.

Code:

 Dim strName as string = txtName.Text 

Adjust the name of your variables, and name of the textbox as needed(txtName here)

 

thanks... I got that one worked out. Now, I've gotten 3 forms up, and I'm working on my 3rd.... step by step.... you click a button on form 1, and form 2 pops up after all info has been entered..... same w/ form 2....... click the corresponding button, and form 3 is supposed to pop up.... I can get form 2 to pop up, but I can't get form 3 to show. I think the code for getting form 2 to pop up was like this:

dim f2 as form2
f2 = New Form2

f2.Show()

Me.Visible = False

Now, I can't get the third form to show up.... please help.

Thanks so much!!
