basically he wants us to make a calc that calculates a persons pay based on hours worked, overtime worked, and pay rate and its supposed to calculate the persons pay after their overtime pay is included and then calculate how much tax will b taken out( fed tax=10% state tax =5%) and then their take-home pay after taxs have been taken out and overtime has been added in


i got everything working fine except wen i started working on the taxs part, i guess i might b having trouble with using const's or something

it keeps saying argument expression cant b done or watever

        Me.xRegPayTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xRegHourTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xPayRateTextbox.Text)
        Me.xOverPayTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xOverHourTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xPayRateTextbox.Text) * 1.5
        Me.xGrossPayTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xRegPayTextbox.Text) + Val(Me.xOverPayTextbox.Text)
        Me.xFedTaxTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xGrossPayTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xFedTaxRate)


    End Sub
End Class 

 

I haven't touched .Net in over 3 years and I don't have a test environment right now but I'll take a stab at what might be the problem..

Code:

   Me.xRegPayTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xRegHourTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xPayRateTextbox.Text)
        Me.xOverPayTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xOverHourTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xPayRateTextbox.Text) * 1.5
        Me.xGrossPayTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xRegPayTextbox.Text) + Val(Me.xOverPayTextbox.Text)
        Me.xFedTaxTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xGrossPayTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xFedTaxRate)

I think your error lies on the line below. Since xFedTaxRate is just a varaiable and not a component on your form I don't think it should be referenced to through the "Me" keyword which is implying that it's an element on the current form. Also it's already a number so no need to use the Val() function even?

Code:

Me.xFedTaxTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xGrossPayTextbox.Text) * Val(Me.xFedTaxRate)

should be...

Code:

Me.xFedTaxTextbox.Text = Val(Me.xGrossPayTextbox.Text) * xFedTaxRate

 

tysm null

i was making it way too complicated

got the hw done
