OK, i just got into VB. Im using VB6 software, but learning from a VB5 Wrox book for beginners. I can follow along quite well, it's just when i have to right the code to exe the project i get syntax errors. Im following the book right on the money. I triple check word for word in the book to mine.

Here is an example: This is what written in the book. I run it, and i get syntax error. WHY!! It's copied word for word.

MessageBox.Show("Value of intNumber + 1 = " & intNumber, "Variables")

Thanks to anyone for suggetions...

HI
Use
MSGBOX "Value of intNumber + 1 = " & intNumber, "Variables"
instead of code you are using in VB6. It will display a
message box.
Hope your problem will be solved

messagebox.show is a .NET statement. Are you sure you are using a VB5 book :)

PS before making the exe, run your project with a full compile (Ctrl+F5), that will find compilation errors right away

Hi,

I think the book you are referring is not vb 5. i think it's for .net & modify the code as herry_basoya mentioned if you want to run this in vb 6.
