Survey and polling tools are often used in marketing or politics to assess rating for certain services or products. Polling tools can take many forms, some just use a simple dichotomous scale of Yes and No, or Likert Scale that consists of three or more choices. You can create Polling tool in Visual Basic easily by using the option buttons. In my program, I give the users five choices, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Satisfactory and Bad. Then the results are presented in frequency and percentage respectively. The program is shown on the right.
