How can I read user input to an array in VB.NET?

OK, so I am trying to make a program using Visual Basic that will allow the user to add links to web pages (such as www.google.ca) to a list in the program and make it so that they do not dissapear once the program is closed.

So to get into more detail, I have a text box, a listview, and a button. When the user types a link into the text box it needs to be put into an array (called "addlink") and 开发者_Go百科then when the user presses the button, the link is typed into the listview as an object.

Then if the user clicks on that object in the listview, it will open up the browser using the WebBrowser command. How do I set the text in the textbox to an array once the button is clicked?

This program greatly resembles most Internet browser's bookmarking feature. :D

To answer your question about adding to an array. You could do something like this.

Dim addlink() As String

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    If IsNothing(addlink) Then
        ReDim addlink(0)
    Else
        ReDim Preserve addlink(addlink.Count)
    End If

    addlink(UBound(addlink)) = TextBox1.Text
    TextBox1.Text = Nothing
End Sub  

Or to use a collection like @Cody Gray suggested

Dim addlink As New List(Of String)

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    addlink.Add(TextBox1.Text)
    TextBox1.Text = Nothing
End Sub

edit: I have removed my answer, which was specific to VB6, but left the portion of my answer that made suggestions:

You will need an edit bookmark and remove bookmark feature.

You could make the textbox multi-line and allow the user to input multiple links at once... or you can do one at a time. The only difference is that you would have to cut the text up every time there was a chr(13) & chr(10), using Mid (to do the actually cutting) and inStr (to figure out where to cut.)

Logically separating the "titles" of the bookmarks from the URLs would be ideal. For example, you might have 3 links to different cook.com recipes (we'll say chicken, lamb, and stir fry), but the URLs might resemble something like http://www.cook.com/recipes/2389047291, which doesn't exactly inform the user which link they want if they want a specific recipe. Using two text boxes, you could allow the user to logical separate the titles and the URL, e.g. List1: Cook.com Stir Fry... List2: http://www.cook.com/recipes/2389047291 (Alternatively, you could just hide the URL altogether, displaying only the page titles to the user.)
