Visual Basic .NET Question/HELP!

[angelictorment]

Ok I have to code an RPN Calculator for class for my Introduction to VB .NET Class. I've been trying to get this stupid thing to work for the past few days and I keep having issues. First I get this error "Statement not valid in a namespace." I can't find any help on this. Here is part of the coding please help. Thank You!

Public Class frmCalculator

    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

    Dim total1 As Integer

    Dim total2 As Integer

    



End Class





Private Sub btnOne_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOne.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnOne.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnTwo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTwo.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnTwo.Text



End Sub



Private Sub cmdExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdExit.Click

    End

End Sub



Private Sub btnZero_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnZero.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnZero.Text





End Sub



Private Sub btnThree_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnThree.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnThree.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnFour_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFour.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnFour.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnFive_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFive.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnFive.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnSix_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSix.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnSix.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnSeven_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSeven.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnSeven.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnEight_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEight.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnEight.Text



End Sub



Private Sub btnNine_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNine.Click

    txtDisplay.Text = btnNine.Text



End Sub

on which line is the error occurring? I haven't programmed in VB in a couple years, but aren't the sub procedures supposed to be in the class definition? *looks it up* yup they are, that may be your problem.

[angelictorment]

In the class definition? Hmmm... example please this is week 1 of VB for me... Also the error underlines all the lines.

[jool]

What he is trying to say is that the line that says 'End Class' should be at the very end so that it encloses all the methods.

[angelictorment]

Ok, thanx... :) Lets try and see then I can finish adding the rest of the code I hope.

[angelictorment]

Ok now I have this issue... But first.

Ok everyone, wanted to say thanx for the links and the guidance. Now here is the rest of my issue. See code below. I need to find out how to get these numbers to also display in lstBox2 along with the symbols for + - * and /. Also need to know how to make it total everything up. Like what we have to do is 9+9 in lstBox2 and to get the answer I'd have to hit +,-,*, or / to make it show 9+9=19/ Since there is no equals key for this type of calculator. HELP please...

Now for the code.

In other words you want us to do your home work for you? Isn't the point of homework to learn? It you're not doing your homework, how are you supposed to make in the real world writing real programs?

Alright I know you're new to programming, and it can be confusing sometimes. However the most important skill needed by a programmer is problem solving. You should be able to figure out the algorithm, it may be buggy, it may not be efficient, but you're learning all the way. Try breaking it[the problem] down into smaller pieces.

Wikipedia has a lot of programming resources, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPN_calculator should get you started.

[jool]

Well to display values you just assign it to the Text property and to add text you just add it, the behind the scenes magic will figure out that you want a string.

lstBox2.Text = theValue + "a string"

For a RPN calculator I would think inputting one element at a time and pressing enter after each would be the simplest way of doing it, that way you could just listen to the KeyPress event and read the input when you get a newline.

Well no, I just need some pointers and some input is all and a litl help along the way. This class I'm in is only 5 weeks long. Crash courses suck a$$ is all... Just wait for this next project, I think I have it done already though, I haven't tested it yet. Decimal to Binary Converter. But I'd also like to take it one step further and convert Binary to Decimal. Anyhow thanx for the help Psycho....

jool- I think I get what your saying. Thank you also...
