Visual Basic Hints:

msgBox("ENTER EMPLOYEE ID")

Steps to go to the form:

Start→All Programs→Microsoft Visual Studio.Net2003→Microsoft Visual Studio.Net2003

One way to display in Visual Basic is to use  msgBox  in contrast to cout in C++.

cout<<"HELLO";

Next construct after msgBox is inputBox which displays a message  and wait for the user  to enter an input value and assign the input value to a name (variable name or textbox).

A variable name must be declared ahead of time as particular data type such integer, float, string, double, character etc...

employeeid=inputBox ("ENTER EMPLOYEE ID")

How to 'declare' a variable?

Dim employeeid as integer it should be before employeeid=inputBox ("ENTER EMPLOYEE ID")
