I've had this error for today and I don't know how to correct it. Would someone please help me? My program would run but it would freeze for sometime

Dim welcomemessage As String = "QUANTITY DESCRIPTION TOTAL" & vbCr
        Dim totalprice As Integer
        If Checkbox1.Checked = True Then welcomemessage = TextBox2.Text & vbTab & Checkbox1.Text & (Checkbox1.Text * TextBox2.Text).ToString & vbCr
        totalprice = Checkbox1.Text * TextBox2.Text

what are you trying to do here?

(Checkbox1.Text * TextBox2.Text).ToString

Look at this line:

totalprice = Checkbox1.Text * TextBox2.Text

What are you doing here? Try to use parsing methods to cast strings to numeric value.
Also look you are taking text of the checkbox1 and do arithmetic with it?!

I changed it into

Dim welcomemessage As String = "QUANTITY DESCRIPTION TOTAL" & vbCr
        Dim totalprice As Integer
        If Checkbox1.Checked = True Then welcomemessage = TextBox2.Text & vbTab & Checkbox1.Text & Str(Val(Checkbox1.Text) & Val(TextBox2.Text)) & vbCr
        totalprice = Str(Val(Checkbox1.Text) & Val(TextBox2.Text))
        MessageBox.Show(welcomemessage & totalprice)

but it seems that when I place a value on the check box the welcomemessage will change into what I've typed in

That is what you are telling it to do here:

welcomemessage = TextBox2.Text & vbTab & Checkbox1.Text &

What do you want to do with your code?

what should I do? Remove it or?

are the 2 other text boxes supposed to be doubles? strings? ints?

total price is int so you have to make the other 2 ints as well and to put it ina message you would put it as totalprice.tostring
