txtbox strings

When I debug my application and look at the value of a txtbox and there's nothing in there it says:

txtbox.text = ""


but when I fire through the app a second time and there still is nothing in the txtbox, it says:


txtbox.text = " "

I do have the maxlength = 5....is there a way to keep the value "" , if nothing is placed in the txtbox?

txtbox.text = nothing would result the same thing I guess have you tried this?

arrrg....no it still reads it as having a value...I've tried txtbox.text = "" and txtbox.text = Nothing....anyone know why it puts in the spaces after the second time around?

I would verify that you are not changing the txtBox.Text property of the text box. Lots of people use txtBox.Text = "", so maybe on of these is actually txtBox.Text = " ".

I am sure you verified this, but just in case...

You can also use the trim method to take all spaces away... although I don't know why it is showing up like it is for you in the first place.

I couldnt reproduce the problem. It always shows "" when nothing is there in the textbox.would you please send the code?

Yes, please post the code so we can take a look...

Is the textbox property set to this value at the generated form code ? and I can see any problems in this case , you can set the textbox to null before you start using it if is it possible in your case.

Me.TextBox1.Text=""

I do have the txtbox.maxlength value set to 5.....I'll attach some code a little later...
