Can somebody help me? I've asked around and nobody seems to have any useful information for me. I'm rewriting a program I previously wrote, but this time with a GUI... My program is a password generator. I have Visual Studio 2008 Pro. I designed a form with a button and a text box. Basically, I need to know how to work with forms. Specifically, I want to know how to actually make the form run, how to run a function (the generation function) when the button is pressed, and how to output a string (the generated password) to a text box.

Could somebody help me with this, please? Or recommend me a book I could get that would teach me this?

I'm in CIS: Programming in college, but it'll be at least 2 more semesters before they teach anything related to this.
