Visual Basic help

[staysolid3]

Hello

I just started learning visual basic about 1 week and a half ago, and I'm just wondering if there is a way to compare text box values. e.g. text1.text = 5 and text2.text = 10, rather then subtracting it, I was hoping if there was a way to find the difference of the text box values.

I'm trying to make my first program that allows the user to enter a value in the text box. and another value in another text box, and make a label display the difference.

Lol, Since you people know more then I, could you try to make it simple cause it makes things easier for me.

Thanks:)

you need to do it like this:

label1.text = val(textbox1.text) - val(textbox2.text)

Or the Net way:

Label1.Text = (Single.Parse(TextBox1.Text) - Single.Parse(TextBox2.Text)).ToString

Until they get rid of Val, I am sticking with that :-)
