Help with VB .net

[Mike Busch]

I am a newbie, I have a project that askes for the name of the most pieces
produced by an employee to be displayed when you click the calculate button.
Ok here is is , I have the following text boxes and labels, txtName, and
txtQuanity, and a label lblEarnedMost. A name is entered into the txtName
and a quanity of Pieces Completed are entered into txtQuanity. Total earned
is figured by Quanity * a constant Rate. There is a summary, for this
project and they are asking for the Employee who earns the most. After you
calculate the first employee you clear the two text boxes, then enter a new
employee's name and quantity. I am having a problem of finding out which
employees name will go into the lblEarnedMost.text. I created two variables,
decMostEarned and decMostPieces. So I have a if statement that starts with
the Variable for Quantity called decPiecesCompleted. So here is what I have
so far.

If decPieceseCompleted > decMostPieces then
? = ?
esleif ? ?
lblEarnedMost.text = txtName.text
End If

Any help. thanks

Almost everybody here is using VB6 or lower. While you may get a stray
answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups devoted
exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with the word "dotnet"
in their name.

For the news.devx.com news server, try these

vb.dotnet.discussion
vb.dotnet.technical

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

There are some others, but these should get you started.

It sounds as if this is a homework problem, so I hesitate to give
anything like a full solution, but maybe some pseudocode will help:

If the current employee completed more pieces than the most so far,
then he's the new record-holder, so:

Display his name
Remember how many pieces he completed

Otherwise

The current employee's information is irrelevant, so forget it

Remember that the most-pieces-so-far variable has to retain its value
until you're done evaluating all of the employees.
