Learning help please

Hi all,
I am trying to teach myself the basics of programming before I take a course involved in it. I have been working through some sample pieces and i was wondering if someone could help me out with a little bit of code.

basically the problem i have is using check boxes. I want to select a certain amount of ice cream toppings and I have each check box done separately.

basically in the code for each text box i have this

Private Sub chkSprinkles_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkSprinkles.CheckedChanged
        If chkSprinkles.Checked Then
            totalToppings += 1
        End If
        totalToppings += 0

    End Sub

i figured doing this for each would allow me to raise a running total (totalToppings)

since each topping costs one dollar i have the totalToppings incrementing when each one is ticked. I want to then display this total in a text box.

I assumed it was something like this. would this not display the total in the text box

 Private Sub toppingPrice_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles toppingPrice.TextChanged
        toppingPrice.Text = totalToppings
    End Sub

thanks alot
