Combo Box help

[RedGunner]

Hey,

I have two textboxes, basically its like a simple calculator

I have + in the combo box but I can't work out how to make this work.

Dim value1, value2, equals As Integer
value1 = tbValue1.Text
value2 = tbValue2.Text
If cbOperator.SelectedItem = "+" Then
lblEquals.Text = value1 + value2
lblEquals.Text = "= " & equals
End If

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!!

change to cbOperator.SelectedItem.tostring = "+"

ToString returns a string value which will give you your true or false condition..

using cbOperator.SelectedItem on its own, returns 2 values, {String}, +. A handy hint for testing strings, would be to set up something like

dim mystring as String = cbOperator.SelectedItem to see the values been passed.

Hope all this helps

Hey,

I did this but its just adding upto 0

Dim value1, value2, equals As Integer
value1 = tbValue1.Text
value2 = tbValue2.Text
If cbOperator.Text.ToString = "+" Then
lblEquals.Text = value1 + value2
lblEquals.Text = "= " & equals
End If

Any other ideas?

you don't give equals a value.

It should be given the answer to the sum
