I know there is probably at least a dozen ways of doing this. But I am working on an application that will ask the user random questions as they navigate mutiple forms. So I will need to be able to save their answers to the questions on one form as they navigate to the next form with more questions. Also the users answer to a question will determine the next set of questions I will ask them. So there will need to be some sort of decision structure. My question is whether vb.net provides a way of handling the questions or data without me having to have a lot of if statements. Also how does vb.net handle storing data across mutiple forms? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi there,

This is not directly related to the book, is it? If it's not, you're better off posting in the ASP.NET 3.5 Basics or Pro forums located here:

http://p2p.wrox.com/asp-net-3-5-basics-351/
http://p2p.wrox.com/asp-net-3-5-professionals-352/

This way, this forums stays focused on the book, and you'll draw more attention in the other forums.

That said, this is not an easy thing to accomplish. Or at least it gets messy pretty quickly. There is no built-in questionnaire support, so you quickly end up with lots of If statements. As an alternative, you could look into Windows Workflow which could be used here, but is an entirely different beast.....

Cheers,

Imar
