Calculating amount of words?

Can someone please tell me how I can calculate the amount of words as the end-user is typing in a textbox and the amount to appear in a label? Thanks in advance.

Probably not the most elegant solution, and you should almost definitely be using a stringbuilder if the string involved is any great length, but if you add something like this code to the textchanged event of teh text box, it will be a good start...

VB Code:

Dim strText As String
        strText = txtWords.Text.Replace(",", " ")
        strText = strText.Replace(".", " ")
        strText = strText.Replace(";", " ")
        Dim strWords() As String = strText.ToString.Split(" "c)
        Dim intWords As Int32
        For intWord As Int32 = 0 To strWords.Length - 1
            If strWords(intWord).Trim <> "" Then intWords += 1
        Next
       lblWords.Text="Count:" & intWords.ToString
