I'm trying to write an asp.net page that will keep variables using the .value command. It's not working. Here's my code

Dim custID As Integer
        Dim noMovies As Integer
        Dim price As Double
        Dim discount As Double
        Dim total As Double

            custID = Integer.Parse(Me.idTextBox.Text)
            noMovies = Integer.Parse(Me.numMovTextBox.Text)
            price = noMovies * RENTAL_RATE
            discount = price * DISCOUNT_RATE
            total = price - discount


        totSales += 1
        'totSalesHiddenField.value = totSales.ToString()    couldn't get this working for the life of me
        totIncome += total

            priceTextBox.Text = price.ToString("C")
            discountTextBox.Text = discount.ToString("C")
            totDueTextBox.Text = total.ToString("C")

            totSalesTextBox.Text = totSales
            totRevTextBox.Text = totIncome.ToString("C")

I keep getting errors that .value is not part of string, decimal, integer, etc

well for one, make sure whatever you are doing it has a runat=server tag on it.

It should work, make sure it is on a runat="server" tag and form.

I'm not sure what that means =(

your input type="hidden" field should read as below, exactly.

<input type="hidden" id="'totSalesHiddenField" name="'totSalesHiddenField" value="" runat="server">

You need the runat="server" to be able to edit it via the VB you displayed above.
