This is a simple tutorial, which shows you beginners how to create a WindForms application in VB.NET. Create a new project by selecting File->New->Project->Visual Basic Projects->Windows Application option - Pick a suitable directory and project name. Now use Toolbox to add controls to the form. Drag-drop controls you want. I add a listbox, a textbox, and a button and my form looks like this - In this sample example, I will add textbox items to the list box on Button Click event. Now double click on the button to add a On click event handler and write this code - Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) ListView1.InsertItem(0, TextBox1.Text) End Sub That's it. Compile and build your project. Piece of cake, huh?
