Getting string from Text Box

Hi,

I have some code I'm updating from VB6 to VB .NET and am having an annoying problem. I'm trying to assign a public variable to a string coming from a text box. The first time through the sub there is no problem but when the sub is called again the variable is assign a zero length string, even though there is still text in the text box. I can get the correct string if I assign an intermediate variable in another sub then assing that to the first variable but this hardly seems efficient. Any ideas why this may be happening

Thanks!

sure. Everything is declared as Public strings in a module and pick2(i) is declared as a public instance of a structure.

sub usetext

With pick2(i)

Don't know if you are interested, but if you truly want to move to .NET, you should *not* be using modules OR public variables.

That said, where is this code Is it in the form Or in the module

the code is in the form.

So if you put a break point here:

sub usetext

With pick2(i)

That's right.

Do you mean code like this

Private Sub InitializeComponent()

If that's what you were asking about then yes, otherwise I don't think so. (Like I said, I'm a little new to all this )

Agree with Deborahk. Is there anywhere else changed Text properties of TextBox txtConveyor and txtReference

If applicable, could you provide us with the codes where sub GetText and UseText are called
