[RESOLVED] [2008] Adding The Number 1 Onto A Variable

[Louix]

I need to keep count of things in the app I'm working on. When the user clicks a button it adds 1 onto the variable "count".

Here's the code that doesn't work:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim count = 0
        count = count + 1
        Label1.Text = count.ToString()
    End Sub

Ahhhhh! This is really bugging me! Please help! Any of it is greatly appreciated!

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Static count = 0
count += 1
Label1.Text = count.ToString()
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
         Button1.Tag = (CInt(Button1.Tag) + 1).ToString
        Label1.Text = count.ToString()
    End Sub

That's great that it is working, but do you know & understand why it works? (or care to know?)
