I am trying to sum the contents of two text boxes one of them having data from a database but I keep getting the error above with these details
System.FormatException
HResult=0x80131537
Message=Input string was not in a correct format.
Source=mscorlib
StackTrace:

at SchoolManager.Pay_Fees..ctor() in C:\Users\MASENO\Source\Repos\SchoolManager\SchoolManager\Pay Fees.vb:line 9
When I test the textbox with the data from the database using the tryparse() methord I get true meaning the content is avalid integer
TxtTotalFee.Text = Integer.TryParse(TxtPBalance.Text,0)
How can I get to add the two data?
Here is my code
Private Sub TxtTermFee_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TxtTermFee.TextChanged
TxtTotalFee.Text = Integer.Parse(TxtPBalance.Text) + Integer.Parse(TxtTermFee.Text)
End Sub
Thanks.
You are on the right track with the tryparse() except that you are not using the converted value.
change your code to this.
Private Sub TxtTermFee_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TxtTermFee.TextChanged
' Input String.
Dim value As String = TxtPBalance.Text
' Use Integer.TryParse.
Dim i As Integer
If (Integer.TryParse(value, i)) Then
If TxtTermFee.Text = "" Then
Else
TxtTotalFee.Text = i + TxtTermFee.Text
End If
End If
End Sub
