Hi,

This is probably very simple but has me tearing my hair out :(

All I want to do is have a page with a textbox and submit button. When the
user enters text and clicks the button I want the entered text to be
displayed on a new page.
I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 with Visual Basic.

If anyone can give me a short example I would be very grateful.

many thanks

Well.. yes.. it is pretty simple.

First, this is covered in Chapter ONE of every GUI or WEB oriented
programming book I've ever read.

Second, truly, if you can't figure out this basic exercise without
assistance, your programming career is doomed from the start.


Do you have a book?
Visual Basic for Dummies?
Teach yourself VB in 21 Days?
Teach yourself Java in 21 Days?

or any of a dozen others. Every single one of them will introduce textboxes
and buttons with this very example!

If you don't have any training materials, then your *first* step is to go
invest in some *training* materials and READ THEM.

Then come back here (actually, you should go to the correct forum for
programming help), and I'm sure there will be dozens of people who are
willing to help you debug something you've written.

Hint: First write the code to display the contents of the textbox on the
SAME page. Then, when you've got that working, modify the code to send the
output to a NEW PAGE.


But, No... I'm not going to provide you the code to do it, and I would hope
nobody else does either.
