Question

I’m new in .NET programming.

I have a class Form1 that includes Button1_Click event.
(Button1_Click creates a multiple Text Boxies at run time)

Here is the class:

Public Class Form1

    Dim shiftDown As Integer

    Dim counter As Integer


  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)   Handles MyBase.Load
   End Sub

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim textbox1 As New TextBox

       counter += 1

       shiftDown = shiftDown + 30

       textbox1.Name = "Textbox" + counter.ToString()
       textbox1.Size = New Size(170, 10)
       textbox1.Location = New Point(10, 32 + shiftDown)
       textbox1.Visible = True

       GroupBox1.Controls.Add(textbox1)

End Sub

End Class

Currently this rows:

Dim shiftDown As Integer

Dim counter As Integer

defined as global variables.

My question is, instead of the way they are, should I define these variables as properties or as static local variables in Button1_Click event?

If you really want to learn how to architect an .NET application i urgently suggest to watch the video by Jason Dollinger which is available here: Lab49 Archives

It is really great and it covers most of the relevant issues one comes across when in need of building a proper WPF / MVVM / .NET Application
