Working with StringBuilders

[sthmpsn1]

I am starting to work with a stringbuilder for the first time and wondering why this isn't displaying any text
Here is my code

Dim dependentsnames as StringBuilder
dependentsnames = New StringBuilder(child1.text)
dependentsnames.Append("," & child2.text)
label1.text = ( dependentsnames.ToString() )

Textbox child1, and child2 both contain text. I want to display both textboxes with a comma in between them.

Not exactly sure what is crapping out. but I would like to point out. Correct me if I am wrong but, doesn't the & nullify the reason for using the stringbuilder. The & is what makes concatinating bad. To fix it just change the code a little to this.

Dim dependentsnames as StringBuilder
dependentsnames = New StringBuilder(child1.text)
dependentsnames.Append(",&quot
dependentsnames.Append(child2.text)
label1.text = dependentsnames.ToString()


I also took the brackets off of the code where you assign the labels text since they aren't needed.

Try that I guess. Are you able to debug by stepping through your code? If so I would try that to see what is happening on the label.text line. That'l do donkey, that'l do

I was able to figure it out. It always helps when you actually call the sub you have code in Thanks for the code suggestions. I used them very wisely.
