Exercise 5 from VB544 in Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .Net

In order to compare a letter entered by a user with its place in the
alphabet, am I supposed to find the its index in the alphabet list?

it's ascii code equivalent would work but that may be out of the scope of
your exercise.
You could just hard code a list, hash table, or array(2,26) maybe it's
(1,25) anyway the array option would probably be quicker as i did not know
there was a "built in list"

Valerie,
It is quiet easy to give it to you, but do you think you will learn from
that.
Learn to program in VB.net and related programs is learn where to find it.

I know, the problem is solved now, but I am not really good in English.
What is an "its" index?

It's a typo.
"find the its index" -> "find its index"

I have this all the time open: did you had another goal with this message?.
When I had given you a correct answer for this, it would have been the
answer to the question too

Nothing to help for me, Fergus is a sweeper, it seems he helps 24 hours a
day now.

Hi Cor,

Lol.

|| Fergus is a sweeper.

Not just a sweeper - a full-on multi-threaded garbage collector.
