How annoying is visual basic?

Very.

This is just silly, I have to write a ceasar cipher. I've done the hard part. It works perfectly.

Unless I try to clear the text box the text is going to before I put something into it!

Cipher.Text = "" ' This is the problem.
    
    For i = 1 To Len(PlainText.Text)
    
    Letter = Mid$(PlainText.Text, i, 1)
    
    IntLetter = Asc(Letter)
    
    If IntLetter >= 65 And IntLetter <= 122 Then
    	If IntLetter >= 65 And IntLetter <= 90 Then
    	Uppercase = True
    	Else: Uppercase = False
    	
       End If
     
       
    End If
    
    IntLetter = IntLetter + Shift.Value
    
    If Uppercase = True Then
    	If IntLetter > 90 Then
    	IntLetter = IntLetter - 26
    	End If
    	End If
    	
    If Uppercase = False Then
    	If IntLetter > 122 Then
    	IntLetter = IntLetter - 26
    End If
    End If
    
    Cipher.Text = Cipher.Text + Chr(IntLetter)
    
    Next i

It works great without the "Cipher.Text = "" " at the beginning but obviously it adds the text onto whatever is already there.

Anyway, I digress. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Would it work if you put " " in? Maybe VB don't like being empty?

:/

I really need to look into VB Further!

Just looked around and you should be able to do it! :s

strange, what error does it return?

 

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

Nevermind. As I suspected it was a silly error. I had my text box names muddled up. So it was clearing it.. but then it was checking the length of the wrong text box for the for loop.

At least it wasn't a missing semi-colon! The amount of time I nearly damaged College/uni equipement because of that.

Ugh looking at VB makes me want to rip my eyes out.

Dont mock VB I've done my programs mostly with VB - including the ARR's Crafter Helper Util - which is btw work in progress..

 

[Shovel]

For future Textbox.Clear() might be a more elegant way of doing it. Assuming that VB.NET actually has the same object functions as C#.NET...

 

[strangely brown]

Or how about (for VB6):-

Cipher.Text = VbEmpty

Could be wrong though - Been years since I attempted any VB...

Regs,

VB deserves mockery.

Jeez, these are SO easy to spot. Try forgetting a curly bracket instead!

Editors with bracket matching are your friend.
