Hello all, I am trying to complete an assignment, and while I do not have a coding question per se, I am having trouble deciding on what object to use. I am trying to take a computed value from a masked text box, put it in an array, have those totals listed on the GUI(this is the object I am unsure of), and be able to total that array into a grand total box(which is a maskedtext). Which would be the best object from the toolbox? ListBox? MaskedTextBox? If I am unclear on any aspect I apologize.

A 'value' is vague. A value can be 5, or it can be "Yogi Bear". Or it can be a complex custom object with properties for name, age, weight and phone number.

if its a number, use the NumericUpDown as it will simplify your life when it comes to validating user input.

Since all you want to do is "display" values, and don't need to interact with them, use a label. Labels are for displaying values. Your grand total should be in a label too, since all you're doing is displaying it. Masked text boxes are for controlling user input.
