In Visual Studio: Make value of one Textbox result to a value in another Textbox1

Question

Am building a VB project. I have two textboxes:

Textbox1
Textbox2

I want, if the value of textbox1 equals to numbers between 10-20, the textbox2 to automatically display the word "Thanks".

I thought the code will be something like this:

If Textbox1.text = integer("10-20") then
Textbox2.text = "Thanks"
End if

But its not working. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for the edit and the answer..... The question is solved now. Your code works perfect. Thanks @YowE3K — CodexxxToo, Jan 21 '17 at 22:03

@VisualVincent - Just FYI - I originally had my answer as a comment, so the "thanks" was posted before I wrote the actual "answer". (And that's probably why I won't get an "accepted answer" tick too.) — YowE3K, Jan 22 '17 at 18:30

If you know that Textbox1 contains numbers, but you are just wanting to test whether the values are between 10 and 20, you could do

If CInt(Textbox1.Text) >= 10 AndAlso CInt(Textbox1.Text) <= 20 Then
    Textbox2.Text = "Thanks"
End If

If you first need to check for the presence of numbers, rather than garbage, it gets a little bit messier.

I recommend you use [**`AndAlso`**](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cb8x3kfz.aspx) instead of `And` since the former is [**short-circuited**](http://stackoverflow.com/a/302067/3740093). Other than that, this is a nice answer! – Visual Vincent Jan 22 '17 at 09:44

@VisualVincent - Thanks - I've been using VBA for so long now (my employer thinks Visual Studio is a security risk !?!?) that I had forgotten that `AndAlso` and `OrElse` even existed. – YowE3K Jan 22 '17 at 18:28
Haha, what?! VBA is a bigger security risk than VS. ;) – Visual Vincent Jan 23 '17 at 07:19
@VisualVincent - Supposedly I could hack into all the other company systems using VS. (They don't seem to realise that, if I wanted to, I could simply write .Net code using Notepad, and then compile it, with the only downside being no IDE.) – YowE3K Jan 23 '17 at 08:20
They'll never fully understand how capable a dedicated/passionate programmer can be... **--** Speaking of hacking: I found a flaw in my college's system which allowed me to gain access to every computer on the network. I could literally do anything I wanted with them, so for testing purposes I wrote a trojan which I silently installed on some of the computers. It was easy to remove and pretty harmless (unless the wrong person gets access to it). **--** I notified the IT department about the flaw and it has since been fixed. – Visual Vincent Jan 23 '17 at 14:49
