Input data and test

[bobster]

I am a complete beginner having downloaded VB2008 Express a week ago.
I am trying to build an application to (record/score/sort) quiz teams in a weekly quiz.
There are many questions, but my first is :-
- With an evenings quiz night comprising of 6 rounds, how would I set up the recording of an indivual teams score round by round, and then total the evening scores?
My first thought was to use a text entry box per round.
Each rounds score is then adjusted dependant on whether a joker has been played (doubling the round score), and number in team (1pt per round deducted for 9+ members in a team).

Thanks

Why not have 6 textboxes?
Then a totals textbox.

Another suggestion is to use a ListView which allows you to create rows of data. Use a textbox with a command button to update/add data to the listview.
ListView is a more advanced control than textboxes.
In general, you create ListViewItem objects and add them to the Items collection of the ListView
