Hi guys, i read an article from <http://www.scratchprojects.com/2006/02/sample_article_tic_tac_toe_p01.php> and got this really cool approach for development of Tic Tac Toe (am sure u all know it) in VB. However i am using sharp develop 2.2.1 to edit anf compile my code and it's working fine.
I combined all the code and worked out as explained in the article but i get alot of errors when it comes to compiling and i have stated in the code below where the errors come in which mostly say "Statement cannot appear outside of a method body" and "Declaration Expected and so on". Could someone please tell me what is wrong with my code. And i know this code is not sufficient enough but please do visit the site i meantioned and see how the article explained the code. I will be grateful

Happy programming!!!!!!!!

Because you have to put the “if” statements and what not into subs or functions etc. In this case it would look something like

Private Sub GridClick(ByVal intCol As integer, ByVal intRow As integer)
