Question-Answer program help

[Andreew]

Hi,

A while ago I wrote a quick and very very simple program to test myself on about 10 questions I needed to remember the answer to. I made a form with a label, text box and button. the label contained the question and the answer was entered into the textbox and the button was pressed to check the answer. the code i used was very similar to this:

Dim answer As String
answer = TextBox1.Text
If answer = "helium" Then
Label1.Text = "What is the country next to spain?"
Else : MsgBox("Incorrect")
End If

Because I only had 10 questions it was fine to copy and paste the code a few times and rename the questions but now i am going to use this again but for a lot more questions (in the end there will be a couple of hundred) so i was wondering if any one knew a better way to do this? I was thinking maybe an array like 1 to hold the questions and 1 to hold the answers but i haven't worked much with arrays so I'm not sure how difficult this would be ?

if you have a lot of data to work with, i suggest using a database.

you can load all the questions into and array or a list, or you can use key-value pair.

have a look in MSDN for generic collections - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...s.generic.aspx
