txtbox.Text("TCP/IPv4 Statistics:")

Does this work ? What does it do ?

not sure why he wrote that. it does not work. text has an overload but it only extracts the character position at the given number textbox1.text(3)

OK, that's interesting. It's a property AND a method ? I didn't know that. Either way, his response looked to me like a further question, but no question was present, so I was trying to guess the problem

So what's this?? You didn't ask a question and I'm not inclined to just start throwing test apps together to guess what you want out of this...

lol my question is then i would be. that im unable to display the tcp statistics in my text box

I responded four hours ago to try to keep helping you, but you didn't even reply ? You need to read a pretty basic VB.NET book. You seem to be making code up instead of knowing what you're doing. The best way to do what you want, is use a StringBuilder to build the message, as it's multiline from what I can tell, and then set that text to the Text property.

No not working yet it suppose to display Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) statistical data for the local computer to my textbox name txtbox. i used this in the ping and it worked fine Dim ping As Ping = New Ping() Dim pingreply As PingReply = ping.Send(txtHost.Text) txtPing.Text &= "Address: " & pingreply.Address.ToString() & Constants.vbCr txtPing.Text &= "Roundtrip Time: " & pingreply.RoundtripTime & Constants.vbCr txtPing.Text &= "TTL (Time to Live): " & pingreply.Options.Ttl & Constants.vbCr txtPing.Text &= "Buffer Size: " & pingreply.Buffer.Length.ToString() & Constants.vbCr

Thanks ill get to reading

I just tried it. It probably is 2 properties that are overloaded 'a' = text for the example

Public ReadOnly Property a(ByVal idx As Int16) As String
    Get
        'extracts character at position
    End Get
End Property

Public Property a() As String
    Get
           
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)

    End Set
End Property

I'm not certain, but I think it's just a property. It returns String, and the String object has a built in indexer. Just like you could have a List(Of List(Of Integer)), and use lst(0)(1) and get an Integer back

Your textbox lines are a bit funny. You seem to think there is a .Text method on it, but .Text is actually a property. Since you keep replacing the .Text property with a new line of text, the last line you supply is blank, so nothing will show up in the textbox. Serisouly, pickup a beginners book on VB.NET. You're missing some really basic concepts that we really can't describe to you in forum posts.
