I am using VB 2008 for dummies and i am on page 72 i do not know how to do the inherits class can any one tell me how? here is what it says word for word from the book "You need a default value for the number of days. If the user doesn’t add anything in the text box, the application must be able to set the interval value to something. For now, define a new variable in the Code View. Under the Inherits class definition, add a dimension statement like the following: Dim DateInterval As Integer = 7"

That's probably a leftover from VS 2003 for Dummies. The Inherits line is normally hidden from you. Just place the Dim under the Public Class line (unless there's an Inherits line just below that Public Class).

ok thanks i did that thank but still it is saying erro Public Class DateCalc Private Sub DateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DateChooser.ValueChanged If DateNumber.Text.Length > 0 Then DateInterval = CInt(DateNumber.Text) End If NextWeek.Text = DateChooser.Value.AddDays(DateInterval).ToString() End Sub Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NextWeek.Click Dim DateInterval As Integer = 7 End Sub Private Sub DatePicker_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DateNumber.TextChanged End Sub End Class the bold words come up with an error saying: Error 1 Name 'DateInterval' is not declared. line 5 column 13 Error 2 'DateInterval' is a type and cannot be used as an expression line 7 column 51 this is how it is set up, any ideal what it is i am doing wrong?

It's looking for the "Dim DateInterval As Integer = 7" line and not finding it.

I was not but i happen to get the on the VB for web site and that author of the book had notice that as and error and posted were to put it thanks for the help here
