Your error messages are accurate
Sezotove wrote: Const dblSTATE_TAX As Double = 0.04
Const dblCOUNTY_TAX As Double = 0.02
These are member variables, they are visible everywhere
Sezotove wrote: Dim decPurchaseAmount As Decimal = 0
Dim decTotalAmount As Decimal = 0
Dim decTAX As Decimal = 0
Dim decTotalTax As Decimal = 0
These are local variables, they are visible within the method only, unless they are passed to other methods. Move them outside 'main' to make them member variables, so that your methods can see them.

Yeah i moved the up tot he global spot with the constants. the program will run but not correctly... Logical error maybe?

Well, the number of subs you have is insane. None of them are useful on their own, this should really all be done in your main method. Once you remove all the subs, it will be easier to step through in the debugger and work out the error in your logic.

Yeah i agree the amount of sub methods for this small program is ridiculous but I'm supposed to break the original program up into more methods. i have the original source if you would like to see it.

Even if decTax is a member, passing it in locally means you set the value of the local, not the member.

well how can i get the decTAX to go from being local to a member? because that would be why the following subs are not calling the correct variable... but i still need the decTAX to be done in that method.

Don't pass it in. If you don't create a local variable with that name, then the member one will stay in scope.

Better still put all of this into a prober object orientated model, as .Net is and object orientated language.
If you had it all in a class called Product, with properties for PurchaseAmount and so on then your Main can just create a new Product object, set the purchase amount and call the methods on the Product object to display the results.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

No worries, i fixed it by making all the declared variables in the first method as globals, and did all the math calculations in a single method and had the others out put them. I dont quite know if this is what my teacher wants... but oh well its what im giving him.

use
mymath = (CSng(textbox1.Text) + CSng(textbox2.Text) + CSng(textbox3.Text) + CSng(textbox4.Text) + CSng(textbox5.Text))/5
I think this would work.

There is no such thing as averaging string together, so I'm not surprised this didn't work.
Convert each string in your textboxes to TimeSpan objects. You can then easily get the number of milliseconds in each TimeSpan, average those together and create a new TimeSpan object with the result. This will give you the ability to easily convert the result to a String you can display in the correct format.

Hi Dave
i looked it up and tryed a few thing but i cant get it to work
can i have a example please ???
Thanks

You convert a string in a TextBox to a TimeSpan using:
Dim timeIntervals(5) As TimeSpan
' 5 hours, 21 minutes, 40 seconds
TimeSpan.TryParse("5:21:40", timeIntervals(0))
You can add all of the time intervals together like this:
Dim avgTime As New TimeSpan
For i As Integer = 0 to 4
avgTime = avgTime.Add(time(i))
Next
And then average the times:
avgTime = New TimeSpan(avgTime.Ticks / 5)

Hello everyone
how can i make a button do one thing when click and when you click it agine it will somting else and so on
somting like this
click once = code1
click twice = code2
click three time = code3
click a forth time = code4
on and on
Thanks
Bob

Two ways. One is to have a class level variable that will hold the click count. Checking that, you can execute the appropriate code. Or you can use the Tag property of the button serving the same purpose. Although you will need to cast that to integer every time you use it.
It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD

There is another option.
You can create methods that handles each of the clicks and just within each handler write this below so that once the code gets executed it will remove its handler and attach another handler to it.
RemoveHandler btn.click, addressof btn_click
AddHandler btn.click, addressof btn2nd_click

Hi everyone,
I am inserting date into y sql database from DateTimePicker Control. The code is as follows:
Dim joindatetime As String, joindate As String
joindatetime = DateTimePicker.Value.ToString
joindate = Format(joindatetime, "Short Date")
for example, the output "joindate" is "12/02/2009".
Now, when I am inserting this "joindate" value into my database, I found that in database column, the entry is not Date i.e. "12/02/2009" but it is both date and time i.e. "12/02/2009 12:40 PM".
What I want is to enter the "12/02/2009" only into the database without the time value.
Hope my query is clear,Can someone help me out on this?
Thanks

First try: DateTimePicker1.Value.ToShortDateString

you don't store numbers as strings, do you?
so you shouldn't store dates and times as strings, both programming languages and SQL-like languages have special types for date and time information. Using them offers extra functionality (e.g. comparing dates, picking date parts) and shield you from formatting issues (regional settings, dd/mm/yy versus mm-dd-yyyy and many more).

If you are using SqlServer 2008 there are Date, Time, DateTime, SmallDateTime, DateTime2 and DateTimeOffset datatypes. Pick the one which fits your use.

You should spend some time thinking about what it is you're doing. What happens if you want to display the date in a different format later ? What if you want to search for all objects within a date range ? These are the reasons you store a date as a date and let the presentation layer worry about how a date should be presented.

Try the following transact-sql..
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103)
convert a DateTime ('2004-06-24 06:01:40.000') to a simple date format ('dd/mm/yyyy' )

I'm a newbie to VB.NET and I' m trying to write a small Windows forms app that searches a network drive for a folder and reads the specified file. It seems like the best approach would be to use the System.IO classes to search the directory and open the files. My question is do I need to open a socket and use the Network Stream object to access this network file? If the computer is just a terminal already connected to the network is this required or do I simply need file permissions on that machine to access the file?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Correct.
If it's just a regular network share, you can access it just like a local file.
