Need help with a console application

[tdubbz02]

I am new to VB and have a question. I am writing a console application that takes two strings, each entered by the user, and displays them to the screen like so:

Console.Out.WriteLine("The value of the the first string BEFORE swapping is '{0}' and the value of the second BEFORE swapping is '{1}'", firStr, secStr)

(firStr, secStr are my string values)

now my question is, i have to call a procedure that will swap the two strings and display them to the screen like so:

Console.Out.WriteLine("The value of the the first string AFTER swapping is '{0}' and the value of the second AFTER swapping is '{1}'", firStr, secStr)

I need help getting the procedure correct to swap the two strings, any suggestions?
I have got this so far:

Sub SwapStrings(ByRef fStr As String, ByRef sStr As String)

and all code I have tried thus farfor the swap will not work, can anyone help?

first declare the strings as a part of the class, that is to say, outside of any procedures.

So
___
Public Class ConsoleApplication

Dim firstString As String
Dim secondString As String
___

now for our swap strings method, we don't need to pass the values to it, it will use the ones that are members of this class;

Public Sub SwapStrings

Dim tempString As String;

tempString = firstString;
firstString = secondString;
secondString = tempString;

End Sub



**Sorry if the syntax is slightly incorrect, I'm a C# guy. But the concept is the same regardless of language.

Problem solved, thanks for the information anaphaxeon and radcaesar! I was making it way more difficult than it needed to be.
