  Vinces,

  Windows Forms does not have an InputBox control. However, Les Smith wrote one for C#. Check it out at http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/inputbox.html

  Thanks for the information.

  But I still cannot implement it in VS2005. I am not sure what causes the problem.

  Does anyone tried it on VS2005 Please shared some thoughts with me on the C# InputBox.

  I would like to try not to use Visual Basic component for this propose.

  Thanks in advance.

  When I use Visual Studio help and search for InputBox filtered by J#, it takes me to a description of the method, which includes both C# and J# definitions:

  J#

  public static String InputBox ( String Prompt, /** @attribute OptionalAttribute() */ String Title, /** @attribute OptionalAttribute() */ String DefaultResponse, /** @attribute OptionalAttribute() */ int XPos, /** @attribute OptionalAttribute() */ int YPos ) It says the namespace is Microsoft.VisualBasic (which I import in my J# Windows form), but the project will not compile, citing InputBox as the reason. Is the help lying, or am I missing something

  There is no equivalent function in C#.

  However you can refer to VB assembly for getting it . Refer to article

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.interaction.inputbox.aspx

  or you can build one, check out the link

  hi,

  its very simple creat a form call it inputbox add a textbox and a button to it, select the button and go to properties set "dialogResult" = ok double click the button add to the event handler this.Close(), also add this line to the form code

  public string UserInput

  {

  get { return textBox1.Text; }

  }

  now in your form add this part where you want to get the userinput

  InputBox ib = new InputBox();

  ib.ShowDialog();

  string result = ib.UserInput;

  ib.Dispose();

  hope this helps
