cannot find why string is getting cleared from .text of a textbox

Friends,

I cannot figure out why, but the .text of a textbox is getting cleared.

Here is my code:

Private Sub chkActivateCameraTcpipListener_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkActivateCameraTcpipListener.CheckedChanged

Dim FinishLynxCameraIP As String
Dim FinishLynxCameraPort As Integer

Try
MessageBox.Show(txtCamIP.Text & " " & txtCamPort.Text) '<--- I threw this in to confirm that the .text actually contained a string, and it does, until...

If chkActivateCameraTcpipListener.Checked = True Then

FinishLynxCameraIP = txtCamIP.Text '<----At this point .Text = "" and...
FinishLynxCameraPort = CType(txtCamPort.Text, Integer) '<------ .Text = 0

FinishLynxTCPIP.FinishLynxSessionConnect(FinishLynxCameraIP, FinishLynxCameraPort)

Any idea why it would get cleared after the If statement???

Thanks in advance!

also try using Watch window in the debug mode to monitor the changes in the textbox value

well, ain't this a mystery! Have you stepped through your code and checked the value of txtCamIP.text at the "if" statement and immediately after the "if" statement executes?

YZlat,

I tried your suggestion, and it worked. I can't figure out why, but after the Check, the .Text values are cleared.

Thanks!
