Accepting Values From User

The Console class in the System namespace provides a function ReadLine for accepting input from the user and store it into a variable. For example,

Dim message As String
message = Console.ReadLine

The following example demonstrates it:

Module variablesNdataypes
   Sub Main()
      Dim message As String
      Console.Write("Enter message: ")
      message = Console.ReadLine
      Console.WriteLine()
      Console.WriteLine("Your Message: {0}", message)
      Console.ReadLine()
   End Sub
End Module

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result (assume the user inputs Hello World):

Enter message: Hello World   
Your Message: Hello World
