Message Box: A message box is a dialog box that displays messages to the user, providing
information, warnings, or prompts for input. It typically includes buttons for user interaction,
such as OK, Cancel, Yes, or No.
Textbox: A textbox is a control used to enable users to input text or numeric data in a
VB.NET application. It provides a user-friendly interface for entering information and
supports various properties and events for text manipulation and validation.
Labels: Labels are non-editable controls used to display text or descriptive information in a
VB.NET application. They are often used to provide instructions, captions, or identifiers for
other controls and are customizable in terms of font, color, and alignment.
Buttons: Buttons are interactive controls in a VB.NET application that users can click or
press to trigger actions or commands. They serve as call-to-action elements, such as
submitting forms, initiating processes, or navigating to different screens.
Radio Buttons: Radio buttons are graphical controls that allow users to make a single
selection from a list of mutually exclusive options. They are typically used in groups where
only one option can be selected at a time, providing a user-friendly interface for making
choices.
Checkboxes: Checkboxes are graphical controls that enable users to make multiple
selections from a list of options. They are represented by a small box that can be checked or
unchecked, indicating the selection status, and are commonly used for enabling or disabling
features or preferences.
