I'm hoping that I can get some pointers from you guys/gals about converting vb to c#. I am currenting in a .NET Programming glass that we have worked with nothing by vb the entire class and now our week 7 assignment is the convert a GPA Calculation program we created in vb to C#. I have pretty much all the foundation and everything built I just can't get part to work.

What I have in VB is below. But what it does is after a number of tests is inputted on Form1 and "Submit" is clicked it reads TextBox6.Text and then prompts an InputBox that allows you to input a score for each test you identified i.e. if you said 3 tests it will run three times then be calculated and output the GPA for the tests to the second form. It worked perfectly in VB but I cant get it to work in C#. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dim Prompt, Title As String
            Dim A As Short
            Total = 0
            Prompt = "Enter Test Scores For " & TextBox1.Text
            Grade = TextBox6.Text
            If Grade > 0 Then ReDim Scores(Grade - 1)
            For A = 0 To UBound(Scores)
                Title = "Score " & (A + 1)
                Scores(A) = InputBox(Prompt, Title)
                Total = Total + Scores(A)
            Next
            Result = Format(Total / Grade, "00.0")
            TestInfo.Label12.Text = Result

            If TextBox2.Text = "Enter Course Title" Then
                TestInfo.Show()

            string Prompt = null;
            string Title = null;
            short A = 0;
            int Total, Result;
            float Grades;
            int[] Scores = new int[A];
            Prompt = "Enter Test Scores For " + TextBox1.Text;
            Grades = TextBox6.Text;
            if (Grades > 0)
                Scores = new float[Grades];
            for (A = 0; A <= Information.UBound(Scores); A++)
            {
                Title = "Score " + (A + 1);
                Scores[A] = Interaction.InputBox(Prompt, Title);
                Total = Total + Scores[A];
            }
            Result = (Total / Grades);

C# will not automatically convert text to a numeric value, so you'll need to do it in line 8 and most likely again in 14.

In C# we usually do not declare loop control variables outside the loop. So instead of

short A= 0; 
...
for (A = 0; A <= Information.UBound(Scores); A++)

we would write

for (int A = 0; A <= Information.UBound(Scores); A++)

.

Using short/float is rare unless there is a specific reason to do so, normally int/double will be used.

Variables are usually named in camel case (examples: myVariable, yourVariable, thisVariableHere) rather than pascal case (examples: MyVariable, YourVariable, ThisVariableHere). Method names use pascal case.

Thanks for the help! I am now error free....I know I assigned A = 0 before and in the for statement but it killed all my errors. Now when I run it i can't get past the Convert.ToInt32 on line 8, does it look like I converted it wrong? It is throwing "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox' to type 'System.IConvertible'."

[Momerath]

You are trying to convert the textbox control to an int, rather than the contents of the textbox control to an int.

Grades = Convert.ToInt32(Test1.Text);

should fix that. Just for general knowledge (and you'll be wanting to use in the future) look up Int32.Parse and Int32.TryParse.

Sweet, thanks for the help. What you said makes perfect sense, I don't know why I didn't think about it like that. This got my Inputbox working, now I have to work on getting the values inputted to add up again and convert to my GPA....again thanks for the help.

Why the hell are there three copies of the same post???

[03EVOAWD]

I thought posting it three times would add to them importance......just kidding. It was an obvious error on my part and didn't see where I could go back and edit to remove them.

[03EVOAWD]

Also sorry about posting help in the title....won't happen again.
