VB.NET textbox default value 0

If Len(txtName.Text) = 0 Then
    txtName.Text = "0"
End If

To add to jppinto's example, you may consider trimming the value before you test its length--in case the user entered all spaces.

ippinto:

i try it and it gives below error msg

let me know if I am wrong..
u want to make the textbox text as "0" when it is empy, right ?

why don u try this , its simple.

 

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
        If TextBox1.Text = "".Trim Then

            TextBox1.Text = "0"

        End If
    End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

Is it not a bit redundant to trim an empty string literal  ; )

@HKH1967

Why are you using CDec? You are trying to compare a decimal to a string. That doesn't make sense. Take another look at what jppinto posted  = )

ohhhh...yeah
i guess it should have been

   If TextBox1.Text.trim  = "" Then

OR simply

   If TextBox1.Text = "" Then

thanks
