Open a window - get info - back to main page - in c# how?

Ok I've spent the best part of today looking for information on this
exceedingly common task with little progress!

All I want to do is have a window (or a page I'm not fussed) open when the
user clicks a button, one variable is sent to the new page which is used to
populate a list box. Then the user clicks the item in the list which is then
sent back.

I want to do this within C# as that is what .net claims to be able to do,
and I don't want to spend more time learning an extra scripting language to
fill one purpose. This should be simple should it not?

Any help, or pointers to a web site (or even a good book - something far
removed from Microsofts over complex method of presenting reference details
preferably!) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Rich.
 
Hi Rich,

What you describe is simple enough, although it requires quite a few steps.
If you already know windows programming, you are halfway there.

This site seems to go through some basic C# Windows Forms stuff. (The pages sometimes refer to Visual Studio to do some things, but you can do all of them manually, for instance in notepad).

That must be temporary, at least it works right now.
