Need help with boolean

Here is a snippet

If total.Value = 1073741824 Then tb.Text = "test"


What i want this to do,is when TOTAL reaches 1073741824 it will change the text in the text box,Why isnt this working? it will run no problem it just wont change the text box.

Also,how can i make the program automatically plus 1 to the existing number in the text box when the Amount is reached?

That code does what it does, but if it's not executed in a useful place then what it does is useless. Where is it executed? We need context.

As jmcilhinney said, we need a little more info.

You can add a messagebox into your code. That will pop up and tell you WHEN the value has been calculated to that amount.

Code:

---

If total.Value = 1073741824 Then
  tb.Text = "test"
  MsgBox("test")
End If

---

If you don't see the message box, then it never reaches that number.

That method was used before there were proper debug tools. Visual Studio provides excellent debugging, use a breakpoint instead;)

Ok,Here is exactly where it is:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
total.Value = bytes.RawValue
TextBox1.Text = bytes.RawValue

If total.Value = 1073741824 Then
tb.Text = "test"
End If


End Sub
End Class

And it still wont change the text in tb.

Are you sure the Timer is Enabled? If it is then presumably total.Value never actually equals that value.

What datatype is total.value?

The Timer is enabled and working,Total is the name for my progress bar,Value gets or sets the progress of the bar.

Could your number accumulator (total) be incementing faster than your timer polls for its value?

Somehow you should tie an event to the changing of total and check the value there.
