Visual Studio .Net - creating an amortization payment schedule - need help
I am trying to create an amortization schedule where the user can input numbers for the principal and interest amount, term of loan and have the form list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. The list is longer than the screen, so I have to use loops to display a partial list, hesitate, and then display more of the list. I have some of it done, but I keep getting a debug error on the variables keyword - I originally had As Double, but after I added the RichTextFormat, it does not like the keyword As Double. I have no idea what to change it do. I am new at this so any help would be much appreciated. Here is what I have so far. I am using Visual Studio .Net and the program cannot be web based, just a simple form.
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
'To calculate the monthly payment the dbl variable should be declared'
'declare your variables here
Dim dblPrincipal, dblRate, dblYears, dblAmount, dblMonths, MyPos, myRichTextBox, interestPaid, loanBalance, As (this is where I am stuck as to the keyword) I had Double, but it does not like that after I added myRichTextBox,.....

My intent with the MyRichTextBox is to display the amortization table. Is this the best way to go about this?
ASKER
I added the myRichTextBox and I am still getting the error
'keyword not a valid identifier' in line 7 which is the line I originally had As Double as an identifier.
'declare your variables here
Dim dblPrincipal, dblRate, dblYears, dblAmount, dblMonths, MyPos, myRichTextBox, interestPaid, loanBalance, As Double
My debug comes up with the error 'keyword is not valid as an identifier'
The richtextbox will display the amortization table until it runs of space, I then have to display the information to fill up the box, stop and display more information. After the box runs out of space, the user will be prompted with a box to ask if they wish to continue with the display. In order to do that I will have to use nested loops.

Take the comma out before the word "As" and remove "myRichTextBox" so it becomes:
Dim dblPrincipal, dblRate, dblYears, dblAmount, dblMonths, MyPos, interestPaid, loanBalance As Double
Dim dblPrincipal, dblRate, dblYears, dblAmount, dblMonths, MyPos, interestPaid, loanBalance As Double
ASKER
I got rid of that error. Now I just have no data after adding the RichTextBox. Originally I added one richtextbox, thought I got rid of it, because it does not appear when I debug, but it will not let me name my new one which is the size I want MyRichTextBox - only MyRichTextBox1. When I debug - it prompts me to continue, so I must have put some code in there someplace to continue. Here is what I have now.

I put the "continue" in so that when prompted, the user can continue to display the amortization schedule.
I know this would require a loop - that is my question, how do I do the loop?

If you look at my 11:07 a.m. question, it refers to a "nested loop" - this is what I do not know how to do. Please help with this part.
ASKER
I also took out the "fixed amounts in my text boxes" I want to be able to type in a $ amount, interest rate % and term and have the form display the amortized schedule in the RichTextBox until it fills up, after it fills up, prompt the user to continue or exit and if continue then continue to display in the RichTextbox until the user does not want to continue any longer. The display should show the principal balance, interest paid.
ASKER
Anyone? I really need an answer to this question as soon as possible.
but you put the Continue Prompt in the Event Handler that is used EVERY TIME the text in the txtPrincipal control changes (and that means EVERY time a digit is entered - seems a bit clumsy to me). I would add a Coimmand Button (Show Amortization Schedule or some such caption), and then show the next N months (where N is the number required to fill the Rich Text Box control (or make the nTextBox tall enough to show 6 or 12 months at a time, then N would be 6 or 12)
Then you would have a loop, like this (declare a Module level variable, outside the CommandButton_Click routine, iStart)
Dim iStart as Integer = 0
Dim N as Integer = 6
Private Sub ShowSched(sender as Object, e as System.EventArgs) Handles cmdShowSched.Click
Dim iMonth as Integer
for iMonth = iStart to iStart + N
' add the next month's shedule line to the TextBox
Next
Start = Start + N + 1
End Sub

' add the next month's shedule line to the TextBox
Next
Start = Start + N + 1
I now get two errors on the debug:

Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable.
Not too bad for AIR_CODE.

I am still uncertain where to put the Dim statements. I placed the Dim statements right after Public Class Form1 before Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form and still got the same two errors.
Statement cannot appear within a method body. End of method assumed.
Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable.
Here is the top part of the form:
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
'To calculate the monthly payment the dbl variable should be declared'
'declare your variables here
Dim dblPrincipal, dblRate, dblYears, dblAmount, dblMonths, interestPaid, loanBalance, Start, iMonth, MyPos As Double
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub
Statement cannot appear within a method body. End of method assumed.
Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable.
Here is the top part of the form:
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
'To calculate the monthly payment the dbl variable should be declared'
'declare your variables here
Dim dblPrincipal, dblRate, dblYears, dblAmount, dblMonths, interestPaid, loanBalance, Start, iMonth, MyPos As Double
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
Public Sub New()

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub
that's precisely where they go. Since the Dim statement is NOT part of any one SUB, they are declared for the ENTIRE FORM, and are thus accessible from ANY sub, and they values remain set between calls to any Sub. That is precisdly the behavior that you want in this case.
Are ALL of those variables (iMonth would appear to be an INTEGER value) supposed to be declared as DOUBLE?
The Handles clause should reference the name of the Command Button that you actually have on your form.
What line is identified for the error message:
Statement cannot appear within a method body. End of method assumed.
In the Errors list, if you Double click on that error message, what line does Visual Studio jump to: That is the line that is in error.

I took that line out that had the error and added the code below the Button1_Click and I did not get any errors, but I still cannot get the amortized schedule to show up in the richTextBox and display the continuing balance and interest paid.
ASKER
I am going to ask a new question to see if there are any more vb.net experts out there.
are you actually wrting any cocde to add lines to the RichTextBox control? That was what my two comment lines were in place of. You must actually write code to add a line for each mnonth that you want to display. And as this would seem to be a class assignment, I am not going to write those ilines for you - that you will need to figure out for yourself. Take a stab at it, and we will help you get it right - but we WILL NOT write the code for you - That is a violation of the membership agreement.
