Calculation problem (Resolved)

[Supraz01]

I had to make a program for my vb.net class and i have a few bugs, but the worst is my calculation porblems i have this in my program :

'Show Tax
sTax_bdf = Str(dblPrice_bdf * 0.08)
lblTax2_bdf.Text = FormatCurrency(sTax_bdf, 2)

when it runs it just comes up as zero. i dunno whats goin on, if someone could help that would be great thanks

Try this:

'Show Tax
lblTax2_bdf.Text = FormatCurrency((dblPrice_bdf * 0.08), 2)

[twistfinger]

'Show Tax
sTax_bdf = Str(dblPrice_bdf * 0.08)
lblTax2_bdf.Text = FormatCurrency(sTax_bdf, 2)


right off the bat... i got an error with "lblTax2_bdf.Text"

should that be lblTax2_bdf.CAPTION?

i changed it to caption and it worked. i'm using vb6 though. maybe that'll help. i don't know though.

lblTax2_bdf.CAPTION is the correct method in vb6 but in vb.net lblTax2_bdf.Text is correct.

The ".caption" in VB6 has been changed to ".text" in VB.NET. Now, boht labels and textboxes have ".text" properties.
