Step 8 Design the VB.Net form

VB creates a new blank form called Form1.vb. You can change the name of this now or later or just leave it as Form1 if the project is simple. We will leave it as it is. To add some control we need to open the toolbox which is circled in green. The toolbox can be opened and closed whenever it is needed - usually the first step is to add the controls then close the toolbox and work on code. You can leave it open all the time but it does take up a bit of screen.
