Question

In Visual Basic Windows Form App, how would you create an object with 5 fields that pulled from text boxes and adds the object to an array of objects at the push of a button. For example an object Item has the fields strManufacturer, strProcessor, strForm, strVideo, and strRAM. How do I send the text someone enters in to those variables and make an object that is in an array of objects with a button called save?

Answer 1

Hey! Try using this code to store inputs into an array.

1. First, declare an array to store your inputs.

Dim arrays(5) As String

This array with name 'arrays' will store 5 elements of type string.

2. Store your input into a variable

For example for the first field.strManfacturer:

Console.WriteLine("Enter the manufacturer:")

strManufacture =  Console.ReadLine

3. Do the same for other inputs.

4. Store it in an array on clicking save button

Private Sub SaveToArray()
    arrays(0) = strManufacture
     .
     .
    //Similarily for all the inputs//
End Sub

5. Now call this function on button click event handler.

Using something like this:

Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click
    Call SaveToArray()
End Sub

Hope that solves the problem. Feel free to ask any queries in the comments section.

Keep Chegging. Have a nice day!
