How to simulate voting vb.net ?

[asif786]

i want to users to be able to vote for their favourite soft drink. They will input the names of the soft drinks through the use of an inputbox, the names input are stored in an array.

what i would like to do is count the votes given to each soft drink. How would this be done, please provide example code if possible. thanks

p.s. i tried using a listbox and failed.

Well during the set up of the program they will input the names of all soft drinks up for voting, and then all the soft drinks input wll be displayed in a list when the voting take place.

It is not a homework
