VB.NET - Form design

Figure 10 shows the form in the VB.NET form designer. Each of the items has the name given by VB.NET when I placed it. (I added the pink labels to the screen shot manually)

• Label1 represents the heater. You can make it large and change its font to white and large, like I have, but that's not essential
• Label2 shows the state number
• Label3 contains "°C"
• Label4 shows the timer
• NumericUpDown1 sets the tank temperature
• OvalShape1 is the alarm indicator
• Button1 is the alarm reset button

In addition to the above, you also need to generate a Timer control. Select Timer from the VB Toolbox, and click onto the form background. Timer1 should appear in a grey band at the bottom of the form designer.
