Inputbox problem.

[sparrow1]

Hi All,

I have a wierd problem with an Inputbox.
Who I have not in VB 2003 and 2008.


If I try this:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim result As String = Inputbox("Enter your username")
        TextBox1.Text = result
    End Sub

Then I've got this error:

'Inputbox' is a namespace and cannot be used as an expression.

Do I need to show an Inputbox in a different way than in vb 2003 or 2008.

That's because you have a naming conflict somewhere in yuor project (a namespace with the name "Inputbox" that you referenced or created yourself).
To verify it, use the fully qualified name of the inputbox function and you won't see the error

Dim result As String = Microsoft.VisualBasic.InputBox("Enter your username")

Hi stanav,

Thanks for the answer, it worked.

I have still a question about that.
Why it does work with the code in my first post in vb 2008 and not in the older version (2005) of VB.

Did you name the project itself inputbox??

whatever you call your project, is also used as the default root namespace of the project.

That could cause it. Otherwise as stanav said, you made a custom namespace somewhere in the code, and called it inputbox.
