Hi, I'm new to vb.net and learning with the book "Visual Basic.Net Step By
Step.

In chapter 5 it gives an example of using an inputbox. however when I try to
do it the way it shows, I get the following error msg.

'InputBox' is a namespace, and so is not a valid expression.

This is the code I'm using:

dim prompt, name as string
prompt = "Enter Your Name"
name = InputBox(prompt)

Can anyone help please....

Ed

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.

We should have a standard reply to any VB.Net coding help question, and I
nominate Rick's reply. Who's with me? ;-)

You mean its not already a standard? I thought that was an "auto-reply"
that triggered off of ".Net" in any post. If not, well, then there's a
project for someone...
