Are you sure that it isn't an underline and a space at the end of a line? That would be a line continuation character. ________________________________ From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Che Sent: Thu 22/09/2005 23:23 To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] vb: shaky editor I am working on a tutorial and putting in the code line for line as they have it listed. They have a variable name that starts with an underline: Code snippet: Private _dev As Device _dev = New Device end snippet. When I move off this line, I get an error saying declaration expected that is pointing to the line _dev = New device When I go through the line character by character, it is not showing me the underline before the dev in the editor. If I add an underline, it is still not showing it in the editor, and as soon as I arrow off the line, I get the same error. Is this just a jaws bug? Is there a way to verify that the underline is there? Why would I be getting an undeclared variable error when it looks like I have just declared the variable? I am copying this code line for line from the online tutorial, and it is coded for vb .net 2005 express beta, which is what I am using. Finally, how do I turn off this annoying error box that pops up everytime I try to edit my code? As it stands, I have to alt f4 it away, then f7 back to my form and arrow down to the line I need to edit. Gotta be a better way, eh?
