Out put to textbox

Question

Hello:)
I am asking the user to input a numerical grade into one textbox and then I want to show the corrosponding grade in the textbox below when they push a 'calculate' button. I have put it the code below and I am puzzled because I have listed 6 conditionals based on grade - but the only thing that will output is the data validation bit "Invalid 1-100 please". This outputs whatever number I put in! So doing my utmost not to get into a demented state I am trying to work this out logically and the only difference between the code that is kind enough to output, and the bit that isn't seems to be the brackets that hold the numeric conditions - but I have no errors - it took me a day to get it to output at all, and now I'm derailed :icon_eek: Could someone put me back on track please.

if((numGrade>87) && (numGrade>101))Look carefully at this statement from line 36.
This will only be true if numGrade is > 102!
Hope this helps.

Well i see a few things that seem to be missing,

1) What ddanbe said, but on all of them, to see if its between should be checking for > and <

2) I dont see where you set numGrade to anything other then 0.
at the top of your button1_Click method i would expect to see like
numGrade = textbox.Text;

*just an observation, but don't need to use numGrade.ToString("F") to set the text of a textbox. just use textbox1.text = "F";

I don't want to give too much detail, cause this just has that, its home work feel ;)

Yes it helped enourmously thank you - after I'd finished kicking myself round the room (metaphorically of course)- especially seeing as I wrote them out correctly on paper- honest. Stops my ego getting too big this coding:) Thanks again.

Hi thanks for that. I'm quarter of a century too late for homework, but it is for an assignment, so you were on the right lines and I appreciate the approach as I am trying to work it out for myself:). Although I did some Java last year I've only just statred with C# and Visual Studio.
Following your prompt I got it to work with

int numGrade = int.Parse(numGradBox.Text);

in the end, and following your advice managed to cut the code down enormously so even I can work out what is happening;) Thank You.

Thank you - I'd just got it before I read your reply - but this has reinforced where I should be returning - ie textBox2, and has made things clearer. Very much appreciated. I now have it working on the convert button and when I press enter. The exit button even works - so I'm very happy:) Thanks very much.
