Creating an Inputbox in C# using forms

Question

Hello I'm currently creating an application which has the need to add server IP addresses to it, as there is no InputBox function in C# I'm trying to complete this using forms, but am very new to the language so not 100% as to what I should do.

At the moment I have my main form and a form which will act as my inputbox which wants to hide on load. Then when the user clicks on the add IP Address on the main form I wish to open up the secondary form and return the IP address entered into a text box on the secondary form.

So how would I go about doing this? Or is there any better ways to achieve similar results?

Answer 1

You could just use the VB InputBox...

1. Add reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic
2. string result = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Title","text", "", 10, 20);
