I don't have .NET, so I'll give you the breakdown of what I would do. There is a command, called "split" that allows you to rip a string apart, by a certain delimiter (character). It Returns an array. What I would do is split the string by space, and then test how many elements of the array there are. That may not tell you how many words, but it will certainly tell you how many parts of a string there is seperated by a space

Alright, here is the VB6 Equivelant code for what you want to do. The same concept will apply in .NET, but I know that the syntax is different. I'll research the same code on google, and post the code for doing this in .NET.

WordCount = parts.GetUpperBound(0) ' /* I don't know if this need a + 1 or not */

thank you very mach Comatose for your help

the first code was smiller what did before. it just count the speces . but if you put many spaces in the textbox the counter will count it !!

i don't know if there is way to avoid count two or more spaces if they are togather.

and about the second code is not working with me, maybe i have to change the variable ... will try it and will post to you..

thanks...

I don't really like VB.NET, so the code is in VB6

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Function WordCounter(words) As Integer
 
	Dim strTemp As String
	Dim counter As Integer
	strTemp = Split(words, " ")
	counter = UBound(strTemp)
 
	For i = 0 To counter
		If strTemp(i) = "" Then
			counter = counter - 1
		End If
	Next i
 
	WordCounter = counter + 1
 
End Function
Function WordCounter(words) As Integer

	Dim strTemp As String
	Dim counter As Integer
	strTemp = Split(words, " ")
	counter = UBound(strTemp)
	
	For i = 0 To counter
		If strTemp(i) = "" Then
			counter = counter - 1
		End If
	Next i
	
	WordCounter = counter + 1

End Function

As Far As I'm Concerned, .NET is the Bane of Windows Programming. I'd Rather Write An Entire App For Windows in ASM :eek:

LuckyMan- you may want to check out "Regular Expressions" on msdn or even Google; it is native to VB .NET (and Pearl, etc) and has powerful string parsing functions that, I hope, will make everything much easier.
