Hello,
I am trying to build a Football Scoreboard and I have performed alot of editing but I am getting hung up on this error Error 1 Variable 'strScore' hides a variable in an enclosing block. C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\WindowsApplication1\Form1.vb 41 17 WindowsApplication1
it keeps referring to this line of code -Dim strScore As Double = Double.Parse(InputBox(strInputMessage & intNumberOfEntries + 1, strInputHeading, " "))
Perhaps I am thinking to much into it I am new to Visual Basic, Can someone help or make a suggestion? Below is my entire code.
Option Strict On
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnEnterScore_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnterScore.Click
Dim strScore As String
Dim intScore As Integer
Dim intFinalScore As Integer = 0
Dim strInputMessage As String = "Enter the score for game #"
Dim strInputHeading As String = "Football Score"
Dim strNormalMessage As String = "Enter the score for game #"
Dim strNonNumericError As String = "Error - Enter a number for th score #"
Dim strNegativeError As String = "Error please enter a positive number for score #"
Dim Cnt As Integer
Dim intTotalScore As Integer
Dim strCancelClicked As String = ""
Dim intMaxNumberOfEntries As Integer = 0
Dim intNumberOfEntries As Integer = 0
Do
Dim strScore As Double = Double.Parse(InputBox(strInputMessage & intNumberOfEntries + 1, strInputHeading, " "))
If strScore = -10 Then
Exit Do
End If
If IsNumeric(strScore) Then
intFinalScore = CInt(strScore)
If strScore > 0 Then
lstScoreboard.Items.Add(strScore)
intFinalScore += intScore
intNumberOfEntries += 1
Cnt += 1
strInputMessage = strNormalMessage
End If
End If
Loop Until intNumberOfEntries = 10 Or CInt(strScore) = -10
lblFinalScore.Visible = True
If intNumberOfEntries > 1 Then
'decFinalScore = intTotalScore + decScore - 1
lblFinalScore.Text = "Average score per game is " & _intFinalScore / Cnt
Else
lblFinalScore.Text = "no score entered"
End If
btnEnterScore.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Function _intFinalScore() As Integer
Throw New NotImplementedException
End Function
End Class
