help with array please
 

Public Class Form1





    Private Sub TextBox1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseHover

        ToolTip1.SetToolTip(TextBox1, "Cash Flow")

    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox2_MouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox2.MouseHover

        ToolTip1.SetToolTip(TextBox2, "Account Balance")

    End Sub





    Private Sub TextBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseDown

        TextBox1.Clear()

    End Sub



    Private Sub TextBox2_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBox2.MouseDown

        TextBox2.Clear()

    End Sub





    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click



        'these variable need to plug into an equation

        dim name as string

        Dim current As Decimal

        Dim toBuy As Integer

        Dim startPrice As Decimal

        Dim newPrice As Decimal

        Dim totalNeed As Decimal

        Dim quantity As Integer

        Dim subNeed As Decimal

        Dim account As Decimal

        Dim flow As Decimal

        Dim hours As Decimal



        'this is the equation

        newPrice = current + (toBuy) * (0.1 * startPrice)



        totalNeed = newPrice * quantity



        subNeed = totalNeed - account



        hours = subNeed / flow



        MsgBox("it will take you " & hours & " hours to save up for " & quantity & name & "'s. ")

    End Sub

End Class

for example, the plaza that i was about to click on (in the pic)
it is in combobox1, it is plaza, and its starting price is 1000000 dollars.

it has a starting price, but depending on how many somebody already owns it has a current price. you can find out the current price by plugging what you know into the equation:
newPrice = (current) + (toBuy) * (0.1 * startPrice)
you then plug the rest of these into some more code(not shown yet) to get the hours to save up.

my question is, how do i make an array that has the name and starting price associated with the combobox1.

so when i click the plaza it plugs the startPrice into the equation and it plugs the name into the msgbox output string.

please help, ive been struggling with this for a couple weeks now.
best regards!!!

Re: help with array please
 

Here is some example code of how to set up an array:

        'Declare Array

        Dim properties(3, 1) As String



        'Set values of Array

        properties(0, 0) = "Plaza"

        properties(0, 1) = "1000000"



        properties(0, 0) = "Seaside Lot"

        properties(0, 1) = "1500000"



        properties(0, 0) = "Restaurant"

        properties(0, 1) = "3000000"



        'Retreive values of Array

        Dim newPrice, current, toBuy As Double

        newPrice = current + toBuy * (0.1 * properties(0, 1))

I would actually recommend using an array of a Class instead of using a multidimensional array of type string.
