well, I hate to point out the obvious but the problem seems to be that there's no code in the click event of your CalpriceButton.

two hints:
1) even though they maybe numbers, the text in a text box is still a string, so be careful about using their contents directly... you may not have numerical values
2) Big hint: decimal.tryparse

Sorry I should of been more clear in my original post. The reason there is no code it that I dont even know where to begin with coding the event for the calcprice button. I should of also clarified that I am the only student in this class and am having a hard time with the instructor getting back with me. The book I have doesnt mention "strings" or how to enter them.
