So I'm trying to get something working (Obviously) and I'm running into a bit of a snag, I'd like to do a simple:

VB

If (intNum1 % intNum2 = 0) Then
   'Do Something
End If

Nothing too out of the ordinary, just would like to be able to make it as simple as that without having to do other work for the same function.

And your problem is?

There doesn't seem a be a % operator in VB.net thus the problem... or is there some other hidden vb function that we should know about?

I would have figured that out eventually (yeah right)... thanks guys, figured it was something stupid, but then again it is VB after all. And before I get pounded on for that, I started off in VB and used it for years, it's just been a while. Thanks again!!!

There is always c# :-)

I actually started it in C# as another portion of it (the project) that I have to do I already have a few classes that I could have used, but no... my boss wants it in VB (because he doesn't know C# and isn't up to learning it). So no I have to re-learn all the stuff I forgot from VB.

Solution 2

If % operator mean modulo, then you can use mod function.

Right :)

It's technically the mod operator, not the mod function, but since you were the first to post, I gave you a 4.
