My code is thes:

for x = 1 to 100
textbox1.text = x
next

Even with a delay loop only the upper limit(100) shows in the texbox.
what am I doing wrong?

What are you using as a delay loop?

for y = 1 to 500
next y

still only shows upper limit(100)
thanks

Did you change to TextBox.Text = y???

Delays can be busy loops, like counting to 1,000,000, or Thread.Sleep(500) which sleeps the thread for 500 milliseconds (half a second)

Let me be more specific,
As an old basic programmer from the 80's it was a kick seeing numbers in a for next loop scrolling across the screen in a milisecond,
for x = 1 to 100
print x
next x
switching to visual basic has been painfull, but I'am finally getting it, execpt for this:
for x = 1 to 100
textbox1.text = x
next

still only shows the upper limit(100)
I know I'am missing really basic even if I won't use this loop.

I believe you can use the sort function inside the loop to do what you want it to do.

Hey,

Try this???

  Dim Num As Integer = 0

	For i = 0 To 100 - 1 Step 1 'even know step 1 isn't necessary
			Num = Num + 1
			Console.WriteLine(Num)
		Next

80's - VB1/2/3 - 33MHz 386 - crap for a video card - interpreted Basic with slow operation.
Now - VB.Net - 3GHz Pentium - more power in graphics card than main CPU - JIT'd (Just-In-Time compiled) code, optimized. The 100 digits are appearing, but faster than the 60-120Hz video refresh - blink faster!

Mark,
thought that might be the case,
but when your my age it's hard to blink faster.
I didn't anyone even rembered a 33Mhz 386.
thanks for your time.

I have my original IBM PC in the basement - 4.77 MHz and needed a bios upgrade to support the EGA card and 10MB hard disk. I can also find my old Timex ZX81 if necessary. This was long after I stopped using punch cards and Fortran.... those were the days
