Hi all,

I am extremely new to vb.net. I've been mucking around with the below project. I have also attached the original instructions to give you a better idea of what I'm supposed to be doing :) Anywho, here is my code. given that I don't get the results I want, I know my code is messed up somewhere:

salary was never assigned a value
