Program's Full Name and Driver's License textboxes not working

[mags11]

I am new to VB. I use Visual Studio 2010. I got most of my rental program to work, but I am having trouble with the easy part. The First Name and Last Name are supposed to combine to the FullName. I know I have to use the assigning textbox text to the the variables. I haven't had much luck to to that.

'Project:           Very Very Snowboards

    'Description:      This program inputs sales information for snowboard rental and snowboard rental with boots. It gives output the total snowboards rented,
    '                   total snowboards with boots rented, total charges, and average total charges per customer.

See if this helps.

codeorder, that actually worked but when I input the first and last names they go straight to the Full Name textbox on the bottom. But when you type it in, you see the full name in 'realtime.' I need to see the full name when you press Calculate Order button.

I also can't get the driver's license part to work. should i attach a screenshot?

[codeorder]

.Remove: setFullName() from the 2 _TextChanged events and only add it to your "btnCalculateOrder".Click.

>>...can't get the driver's license part to work...
.and the part you can't get to work is?

[mags11]

the drivers license doesn't appear in the Drives License TextBox on the bottom after you input it.

[codeorder]

I have a feeling that line.66 in your code should be: DriversLicenseString = DriversLicense.Text

[mags11]

I tried it, but it didn't work.

[codeorder]

>>I tried it, but it didn't work.
Sucks for you?:D

Just wondering; how is DriversLicenseString 's value displayed in your TextBox?

[mags11]

DriversLicenseString = DriversLicenseTextBox.Text

[codeorder]

>>the drivers license doesn't appear in the Drives License TextBox on the bottom after you input it.

Drives License TextBox.Text = DriversLicenseString

That should be located somewhere w/in your code, if you want it to display anything.

[mags11]

This drivers license should be a string, correct?

[mags11]

I tried to put that under the Calculate Order button properties with no success yet.

[mags11]

I fiddled around for a bit with the code. So i input the drivers license in the top box. Now when I hit the calculate button, I get a "0" in the drivers license summary box.

[codeorder]

Keep that in the btnCalculateOrder.Click event and replace this event entirely.

Private Sub DriversLicense_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DriversLicense.TextChanged
            DriversLicenseString = DriversLicense.Text
        End Sub

[codeorder]

Saw that you just posted, sucks for you.:D
.At least you got a .Value added to your TextBox so far. Before you post again, My.Suggestion = "keep fiddleling" .

[mags11]

I got it to work! Thanks to you, CodeOrder!

[codeorder]

Just reinstalled my o.s., flied w/out a vb.radar for a few hours:D, though glad that your current programming issue is "Solved" AndAlso glad that I was able to still provide.support.:)
