[RESOLVED] Insert this chacter in a string: &

[anna7]

Hi

how I can insert this character in a string: &

I tried this:

example:

"Manolitos " & "&" & " Co."

but it displays error end instruction was waited

Hmm - I don't get the error, but also why not just have it entirely enclosed in quotes.

Can you show us your code.

How about

 Label1.Text = "Manolitos " & "&&" & " Co."

How about

 Label1.Text = "Manolitos " & "&&" & " Co."

Yeah that's what i was thinking might be the problem, but it shouldn't cause an error if you only have 1.

Why not enclose the entire string in quotes?

the text to insert a in a string is this:

CType(sender, XRLabel).Text = "Page " & PageNumber.ToString() & " of " & PageCount.ToString()

(I need to replace .vb file and I need insert a new line code)

 Label1.Text = "Manolitos " & "&&" & " Co."

I must be missing something, because this works perfectly well :

Label1.Text = "Manolitos & Co."

Of course you need to set the UseMnemonic property to false in order to show the apersand in a control like a label, but even without doing that there is no error.

I don't see anywhere in that example where you would be putting an "&" within the string.

I need to insert this text (exact) in a string:

myString="CType(sender, XRLabel).Text = "Page " & "&" & "PageNumber.ToString()" &" &" & " of " & " & " & "PageCount.ToString() "


Output will be this:

CType(sender, XRLabel).Text = "Page " & PageNumber.ToString() & " of " & PageCount.ToString()

[anna7]

finally I've solved this issue:

myString = "CType(sender, XRLabel).Text = ""Página "" & PageNumber.ToString() & "" de "" & PageCount.ToString()"

and output:
CType(sender, XRLabel).Text = "Page " & PageNumber.ToString() & " of " & PageCount.ToString()

OK your problem isn't with the "&" it's with the quotes. VB will treat the "Page" as a keyword as it isn't inside the quotes.

EDIT - sorry, too slow in my typing !

That just illustrates why its a good idea to show your code at the start!
