Need help. Displaying variables on form

[slyr1338]

Hey guys.

Im new to visual basic and i was just wondering how i could display a variable on the form.

Cheers,

Hi slyr1338:

You might want to use a label control to display the variable. To update the contents that is displayed, use the code:

Label1.Caption = MyVariable

, where MyVariable is replaced with the name of your variable.

Welcome to the VB5/6 forum.

Hi slyr1338,

CassandraR posted a solution that would work in VB5/6.

Looks to me like you are using VB.NET. In this case the syntax you would use (I believe) would be:

Label1.Text = MyVariable

It might be more helpful for you to post future questions in the VB.NET forum (Forum796), as this is a dedicated forum for the language I believe you are using.

Hope this helps
