The code performs correctly when the input is an integer, but when I enter a character, the result is as though I've entered an integer. Can you tell me what's wrong with my TryParse statement?

I am a vb newbie having some trouble with an assignment. A user enters a letter into a text box, and the output must make the letter uppercase and tell what position the letter is at in the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."
Here is my
Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
[CODE]...............
This is what comes out: "A first occurs in position -1". Everything comes out except the position is always displayed as -1.

How would I code a TryParse to get the input from customer from a textbox named Strands and convert it to a number (this number will always be a whole complete number, cannot be 5.6 or 4 1/2 or whatever) then have that Strand number be muliplied by the selected item in my listbox1. This listbox has an access database bound to it with 2 columns Size and Area, the Size equals the Area and I set the Value to the Area column but set the Size to show up in the list box. and the Strands textbox has to muliply by the Size picked, but by the Area # not the Size #. And the results of that multiplication showing up in another textbox named total.

Is it possible to change to colour of letters as they are typed.I.e
Piece of text says
"Hello World"
when user types "H". The "H" in the original would change if matched and then so on and then when "Hello" is matched it would change to another colour.

I am trying to figure out how to read a text file and check the value entered into a textbox to see if it already exists. Its basically a validation list.
I found some code on how to read a text file, but I do not know what to do with the information.
Sub Main()
If RadioButton1.Focus = True Then
'Check TextBox1 value against list of known part numbers
[Code]...
How do I compare the textbox value to a line read from the file and stop if there is a match?

I need to pull a random word from a text file in my resource folder (visual Studio 2010) and then have a user enter a letter to see if it is in the word. Yes, Hangman game. There is more, but right now I need to pull from that text file for a start. I know what I have is not even close to right under "Get Word Button", but I'm kind of confused about the process.

Part of my assignment is to check if input to Group Number and Number of Units are correct input by making error handling exceptions...
I have to check the following:
a) group number is neither 501 nor 062

c) number of units is NOT a positive number
So my first question is, am I checking correctly? 2nd question is, How do I make sure my Exceptions will pertain to their correct respective things (a, b, and c.. above)?

I need to error check so that the fields are not empty.I have used If statements that check to see if the fields are empty and shows a message box if they are but if I leave the whole form empty and click the button that activates it, all the if statements go- one by one instead of pausing for the user to input the required data.How do I check for data and make the program stay there until the data is input? I have tried TRY/CATCH but it won't catch this type of error.

I'm trying to find a way to have text that would be "Live" as in if a user types an incorrect phrase/letter in a text box, a message will appear prior to a "save" button being pressed. It's pretty much the same as when you're registering on these forums, it checks the availabilty of the username as you type it.

1) Is it possible to input text into a .dll and then read it with some similar code.
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "
eadme.dll")
For Each line As String In lines
Msg(line)
2) categorys inside a dll.
For example if the "line" string equals to car then find the category black and display it's contains. I would like the .dll to all contain this information. Both the car and the category. All i want is the main .exe to read the information.
