Hi all, first post

Recently bought the book to try to start coding again since VB5.

I am trying to build the application for counting characters p205-207 I think, keep getting stuck with errors regarding the text_changed event that contains the line

Dim intChar as integer = CountCharacters(txtWords.Text)

The public Function CountCharaters(ByVal... that preceeds this in the book is in greay not bold and it doesnt explain where to put it, it also has the ''' WPF type comments for a WPA form?

One of the errors is to so with namespaces I beleive. Sorry but I dont have access to teh exact detail, can post tonight if needed.

Basically the app will not run without errors and then after trying to move code around the form dissapears!

Any help appreciated.

thanks
