it's not a VB inputbox. it's a customized dialogbox. what i want to know is how will i call from my main form the value input by the user in my dialogbox? how will i pass the data from my dialogbox as a subitem to my listview in my main form

Hello: If you are using the visual basic inputbox (referencing Microsoft.VisualBasic into your C# project) you can just assign the return value to a string variable and use that variable in your code (here is an example of using the return value to set a string called tmp and then using the string to put information in a textbox): (you could build a custom dialog box if you did not want to use the VB inputbox) private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { string tmp =  ; tmp = Microsoft.VisualBasic. Interaction .InputBox( Input your name.  Name  string .Empty100100); this .textBox1.Text = Hello  + tmp; }
