Bmi Calculation Problem Code. Need Help !!

First of all, hello all^^. actually don't know whether this is a suitable place or not to post this problem.
anyway let straight to the point., actually i have a problem with this coding for my school project.
theres no error too fix but i can't get the calculation and if statement in the right thing . don't know whether the phrase or something .
a newbie like me, already think of it.. the problem hundreds of time..
try to fix it. but still the same thing happen.

BMI Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub BtnResult_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnResult.Click
 
 
        Dim Weight, Height As Integer
        Dim BMI As Integer
 
 
 
        Weight = Val(TxtWeight.Text)
        Height = Val(TxtHeight.Text)
 
        BMI = (Weight \ Height)
 
        If BMI < 50 Then
            LblShow.Text = ("Under Weight for Your Height")
        Else
            LblShow.Text = ("Over Weight For You Height")
 
        End If
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub BtnClear_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnClear.Click
        TxtHeight.Clear()
        TxtWeight.Clear()
        LblShow.Text = " "
 
    End Sub
    Private Sub BtnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnExit.Click
 
        MessageBox.Show("Bye!!")
 
        Me.Close()
 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
    End Sub
End Class

This isn't VB6 or earlier, it is some flavor of VB.Net.

Whitefloux90. You will have to provide more info. What are the input values and what result are you expecting and what result did you get?

P.S. I'll notify administrator to move this thread to the .Net forums

Hello whitefloux90 :)

The two things that I see which is incorrect is

1) You have declared the variables as integer. So you will not get the value in decimals.
2) The formula for BMI is this

Sid, that may be intentional. Notice that integer division is also being used?

@whitefloux90: If you want to make that program in visual basic 6.0 then here is a link, I've found it while i was surfing. http://www.vbtutor.net/VB_Sample/bmi_calculator.htm.
It's a good link for newbies like me too.

Thread moved from 'VB6 and Earlier' forum to 'VB.Net' (VB2002 and later) forum

(thanks for letting us know LaVolpe :thumb: )

Well, if you take a look at the BMI formula that has been linked, it's a bit obvious as to what's going on here.

You are taking the weight and height and simply dividing the two. According to the formula, you need to take the weight, multiply it by 703, then divide by the height squared:

Code:

---

Dim Weight As Integer = 0I
Dim Height As Integer = 0I
If Integer.TryParse(TxtWeight.Text, Weight) AndAlso Integer.TryParse(TxtHeight.Text, Height) Then

  'Perform the calculations here.

  Weight = Weight * 703
  Height = Height * Height
  Dim BMI As Integer = (Weight / Height)

  'Do the check.
  If BMI < 50 Then
      LblShow.Text = ("Under Weight for Your Height")
  Else
      LblShow.Text = ("Over Weight For You Height")
  End If

---

Something like this. Now, I didn't type this in the IDE, but in the response here. There are a few things you should look up, such as the Integer.TryParse() method. No guarantee the code will work, but you should read up on the TryParse() method so you can use it in the future.

Your code was close, but it wasn't exactly doing something right. I don't like the use of the Val() method since I see it as Legacy VB6 code, and I just changed a few things from your code to create mine. I think it'll work for you, but as I said, you weren't far off.

ow , phew .
thx all .
anyway as do i remembered it again this is how it look like formula

Table: Metric BMI Formula BMI =
( kg/m² ) weight in kilograms
————————————
height in meters²

and previous msges thx all fix this coding..
yet thx again all of ya
if i missing something i will repost the content back.
cause i found that this were The Codes for console application not a windows .. is't can use in windows application.

=======================================
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Label4.Caption = BMI(Text1.Text, Text2.Text)
End Sub

Private Function BMI(height, weight)
BMIValue = (weight) / (height ^ 2)
BMI = Format(BMIValue, "0.00")
End Function
========================================

thx for bringing this post to vb 2002 & later..

thx all of you.

Sry to bring this matter again could you fix this .
underweight, normal, overweight, Obese

vb Code:

@whitefloux90 - Make the following the first line of your program

Option Strict On

Take a look at the code I posted in post #11.

may i know which 1 is strict ON
is't at the public form or at the private sub button2.click?
sry i trouble u..

Code:

---

Option Strict On ' Here
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub BtnResult_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnResult.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub BtnClear_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnClear.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub BtnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnExit.Click

    End Sub

End Class

oow that 1
gee thx...

@dbasnet
Excuse me, what was that again.. cuz i already place it and i run error output. come it be like that?
the real after + my code it when true like ?
sry , i'm too newbie on this world..

The errors you get when you have Option Strict On should be fixed. Those errors are part of the problem you are having. Did you try the code I posted? Did it have errors?

ya it keeps happening by determine all the value to Underweight only..

hope u see this picture to get the picture of what am i really doin ..

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uplo...bc94fc34aa.jpg
or see post ...#13

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uplo...bc94fc34aa.jpg

Are 18.5, 24.9, or 29.9 integers?

Did you look at the code I posted? Did you try the code I posted?

Did you fix the errors Option Strict On showed? If so please re-post the code you have.

Please do not duplicate posts

@dbasnett : ow , sorry. yah problem solve already with your code. thx for teaching me use Option Stric On.^^ Rep
