Well, I think the modern way to do it would be to put the user interface into a form. A separate form for such a small thing may seem exaggerated, but it does make the code more readable. If you don't want to have a separate form for this specific task, you might also define a form in code (through a class) - and get all the potential advantages of user interface, OOP, etc.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
