Help?! validating blank fields

Hello All
I am getting used to VB.net - I remember (I think) in VB 6 that if a txtBox.text = "" then it was considered a blank field. I can't get this code to work - I keep getting the message box (error) but I want the ELSE statement to work if it is ( the fields) filled in.

Code

Code:

---

Private Sub btnOrder_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOrder.Click
        If txtName.Text = "" Or cmbBrand.Text = "" Or cmbStyle.Text = "" Or cmbSize.Text = "" _
        Or (radMensShoes.Checked = False Or radWomensShoes.Checked = False) Then

            MsgBox("Please fill in all fields" & Environment.NewLine & "you may leave width unchecked")
        Else
            txtBox1.Text = ("Thank You " & txtName.Text & Environment.NewLine & "Men's Shoes:" & radMensShoes.Checked & _
          Environment.NewLine & "Women's Shoes:" & radWomensShoes.Checked & Environment.NewLine & "Brand: " & cmbBrand.Text & Environment.NewLine & _
          "Style: " & cmbStyle.Text & Environment.NewLine & "Size: " & cmbSize.Text & Environment.NewLine & "Width:" & chbWidth.Checked)


        End If



    End Sub

---

Thanks

Rob,

You find you get a result if you post your VB.Net question in the VB.Net Forum. This Forum is for VB6 :)

You can find the VB.Net Forum here.

try this:

If trim(TextBox1.text).length = 0 then

' field is blank
else

'field contains data

end if

Do you mean that you get an error, or does it show the message box that you have there in your code? If you are getting the message box from your code, I would try taking the parentheses from around the "radMensShoes.Checked = False Or radWomensShoes.Checked = False". I don't really see why it would change anything, but it's the only thing that comes to mind.
