I cant place an End If !!!

[Jes|er]

For some reason or another whith all of the if statements below
when I put an End If after them I get an error saying: End if must be preceeded by a matching If... The code works fine exept its causing bugs in the rest of the code. Any ideas? Besides a select case.. Cause I cant put an end if inside a Select case either!

Public Function Todo()
        System.Console.WriteLine(">--------------------------------------------<")
        System.Console.Write("What do you think we should do?")
        sInput = System.Console.ReadLine()

        If sInput = "look" Then Call Locations()
        If sInput = "orders please" Then Call Locations()

        If sInput = "Drop Badge" Then Badge = False
        Console.WriteLine("OK, I droped the badge!") : Call Start()




    End Function

To save yourself some heartache, just use a select statement, or just put the end if after each if statement.

Try this:

Public Function Todo()
        System.Console.WriteLine(">--------------------------------------------<")
        System.Console.Write("What do you think we should do?")
        sInput = System.Console.ReadLine()

        Select sInput
              Case "look", "orders please"
                     Call Locations()
              Case "Drop Badge"
                      Badge = False
                      Console.WriteLine("OK, I droped the badge!") 
                      Call Start()
               Case else
                       Console.WriteLine("Invalid data entered"
        End Select
End Function

You do not need an End If when the the statement(s) to be executed are on the same line as the If.

You could do something like:

Dim li_Var As Int16 = 1

If li_Var = 1 Then Call Locations()

or multiple statements:

If li_Var = 1 Then Call Locations() : Call Start()

Which is perfectly valid, but not very readable.

When the Statement(s) is not on the same line then you require the End If:

If li_Var = 1 Then
Call Locations()
End If

As for your other bugs, then you _have_ other bugs and this is not your problem.

As DevGrp has shown above though, would be better in a case.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the help. I converted it to select case.
And I found the bug. After searching for about an
hour, I noticed that one of the room names had
the first letter in lowercase while the rest had
the first letter in uppercase! All that work for
on single charactor.....
