HELP!! Then syntax error?

SmartRoss · Joined: 04 Oct 2007 Posts: 2

In Visual Basic 2005 Express I am programming a web browser. In my coding I
have put in an 'if...end if' block that goes like this:

If TextBox1 = < Then
WebBrowser1.GoBack()
End If

In the error box, it tells me that there is an error with the syntax of the
'then'. It says in the box 'Expression Expected', and I don't know how to
deal with it. Every time I try to use an 'if' command it tells me that it is
expecting an expression.

Please HELP!!

You need to have something **after** the '=<' comparative operators... you
have TextBox1 is less than or equal to >? Also, if TextBox1 is a
TextBox control, you need to specify a property (probably the Text
property)... an Object cannot be less than or equal to anything... the Text
property, as a String, can be (but, again, you have to show what that
something is).

Now... for future reference... you are in the wrong newsgroup.

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower (this is the case
for all newsgroups with ".vb." in the name). While you may get a stray
answer to VB.NET (including VB2003, VB2005 and VB Express which have dropped
..NET from their names) questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
devoted exclusively to .NET programming (the languages are different enough
to warrant separate newsgroup support). Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server (msnews.microsoft.com), try these newsgroups
for Visual Basic .NET related questions...

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data

And these for more general .NET questions

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields" from
the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above ones
should get you started.

Thanks for the note Rick. I will go to the .NET newsgroups in future.
