The particular code that I am having give the error is: PayCheck.Text = CInt(TotalIncome.Text) - CInt(TotalExpenses.Text) This worked for the addition and a multiplication, but does not want to work for subtraction. ...Show All

• Visual C# Break execution and jump into code

  In VB, I could break into execution at any time by hitting <ctrl> - <break>. This was useful for debugging stuck while loops and breaking into execution when an error was handled. How is this done in VS2005 There's no 'break' key for C# programs. You can stop execution by going to the IDE window and hitting the stop or pause buttons, which will give you excellent debugging options. Otherwise, e.g. if you aren't debugging or you just want to stop the program, you have to use the task manager. ...Show All
