Can you explain this strange logic?....

[Steven J Jowett]

I have the following vb.net code :- Dim bLogonResult As Boolean = Logon() If bLogonResult = True Then MessageBox.Show(bLogonResult) Else PDM.Common.ClientData.RestartApplication = False Me.Close() End If Looks fairly straight-forwards. Right? So why is it that when bLogonResult does equal True that it displays the message box then jumps to the Me.Close in the Else section? Somewhat perplexing, I sure you would agree. Any help appriciated Thanks

I'd be tempted to try: If bLogonResult Then .....

[Steven J Jowett]

I tried that. I also tried If Logon() Then and IF Logon() = True Then

Is it DEFINATELY going into the 'Else'? You haven't got another Me.Close further down?

[Steven J Jowett]

ABSOLUTELY DEFINATELY. I have stepped thru the code in debug mode several time to make sure.

Bizarre! How about something like: Dim bLogonResult As Boolean = Logon() If bLogonResult Then MessageBox.Show(bLogonResult) ElseIf Not bLogonResult Then PDM.Common.ClientData.RestartApplication = False Me.Close() End If
