Hi,
In a program being build I would like in the program after a user has entered their name (John Doe) into a textbox to display their name also in a label but I would like it to appear (Doe, John).
I almost have it working but its giving me some hassle.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks |

What about having 2 textboxes. One for the first name and one for the second name. You could then have your code like this:
(text1 is the first name
text2 is the last name)
| Code: |
firstname = text1.text
lastname = text2.text
Label1.Caption = lastname + ", " + firstname
|
That might work.... |

Have a look at this :
| Code: | Dim sFlipName() As String
sFlipName = Split(Text1.Text, " ")
Text1.Text = sFlipName(1) & ", " & sFlipName(0) |
You might want to check that there actually is a " " (space) character in the textbox or you'll get an error

Actually I just noticed that this is in the .Net section and what I posted I tested in VB6. I don't know if it will work in .Net exactly as it is. It might need some slight modifications.
