  2. Practice with the properties used to change the size and background color of the form that appears when a VB.NET desktop application is launched.

  3. Add a text box control to a VB.NET form to provide an area in which data can be entered on the form when the application has been launched.

  4. Group option buttons together on a VB.NET form so that only one button at a time can be selected.
