I have a form in which there are 7 questions. The questions are displayed on the form using dataset containing a table of questions and answers.
In the dataset items 0, 1,2,3,4 contains the question number, question, first option, second option and third option respectively.
I want to know if there is a better way of loading the questions.
I have grouped the radio buttons into sets of three using GroupBox.

VB

Label2.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label1.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton1.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton2.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton3.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1

         Label4.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label3.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton4.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton5.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton6.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1

         Label5.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label6.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton7.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton8.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton9.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1


         Label15.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label8.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton10.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton11.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton12.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1


         Label9.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label10.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton13.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton14.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton15.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1

         Label11.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label12.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton16.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton17.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton18.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1

         Label13.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(0)
         Label14.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(1)
         RadioButton19.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(2)
         RadioButton20.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(3)
         RadioButton21.Text = ds.Tables("AddressBook").Rows(a).Item(4)
         a = a + 1

Since you are going to show the question multiple time then I suggest you to create your own User Control.

Inside the user control you can put 2 labels for the number and question and three radio button for the options. Then include class properties to keep the questions number and options.You can also program more actions inside the control.

After building the project, you should be able to drag and drop the control into the form.
