the First Name and Last Name values supplied by the user and flash a message

ity behind the Submit button's click event, which will eventually read the values
from the TextBoxes. To achieve this, continue with these steps:
7. Double-click the Submit button. This will take you to Code view, and you will see
that the btnSubmit_Click event template has been added to the code editor win-
dow, as shown in Figure 14-9.
8. Now add the following code inside this btnSubmit_Click event to achieve the
desired functionality:
MessageBox.Show("Hello" + ' ' + txtFname.Text + ' ' + txtLname.Text + ' ' +
"Welcome to the Windows Application");
9. Once you have added the code, click Build ä Build Solution, and ensure that you
see the following message in the Output window:
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
