I am having trouble turning a console application into a windows application. Basically, the form would have 4 text boxes. Each text box would house the file path of two three boxes and one csv file. Each text box would have a button right next to it that would prompt the user to open a file path, 2 for txt and one for csv..the last text box and button would be the export file which would have a save dialog attached. How would I do this? I have been trying for a week now and still not getting it to work. Any takers? I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Below is the console application Module.

VB.NET:
