How to add reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll?
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Favourite RPG?", "Game", "Cool!");
So what this does is basically ask the user their favourite RPG. Then it displays the default value. I know this is a small example but my program will not run because I'm getting this error:
The type or namespace name 'Interaction' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualBasic' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

In addition to using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

You need to add a reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
The using statement you have is not a reference. It's merely a shortcut so you don't have to type the full namespace every time you want to access a member inside it.
Right click your References
in the Solution Explorer
click Add Reference
,then search for Microsoft.VisualBasic
and add it to your references.
