[RESOLVED] if statment

[met0555]

What's wrong with this statment,

If IDcountry.Text = "United States of America" Then
            IDState.Enabled = True
 
            If IDcountry.Text <> "United States of America" Then
                IDState.Enabled = False
            End If
        End If

IDState is always enabled :S

thx

is it enabled when it loads? if so what kind of control is IDCountry?

Pretty sure you were using dropdownlists but I may be mistaken... if you are try IDCountry.SelectedText

[axion_sa]

Your if block is a bit of a paradox; the code that disabled the IDState field will execute when the IDcountry.Text field is both equal to "United States of America" and not equal to "United States of America".

Refactoring/correcting:

If IDcountry.Text = "United States of America" Then
   ''' Enable field
Else
   ''' Disable field
End If

''' Or...
IDState.Enabled = (IDcountry.Text = "United States of America")

I would suggest that you debug & step through the code next time

you also might want to show us what event it supposed to be firing this code....

Yes they are dropdownlist.
well, it didn't work with .text , so i used

IDState.Enabled = (IDcountry.SelectedValue = "US")

and it works. But i don't know why it didn't work with the .text.

[riteshjain1982]

did you checked with IDcountry.Text.Trim

[met0555]

works with trim
thx

[riteshjain1982]

Glad it worked but best way is to go ahead with IDcountry.SelectedValue if needed add IDcountry.SelectedValue.Trim.
