Android Question What could stop a label.text property from being assigned to?

[DeviousD]

Hi All.,

A really strange case of don't know what the heck is going on.

lblClient.Text = "Client " & CRLF & rs.GetString("company") & CRLF & rs.GetString("companyaddress")

the above code does not over-write the designers text property.

If you log the data, its perfect, reading from a sqlDb, labels work fine, BUT somehow, even after deleting this label and creating a new one in case a previous copy and paste may have "corrupted" it also does not work.

What would be a cause of the property almost being read-only and no exception or warning is returned, its JUST ignored..

Is "Client " a reserved work or the like....

Really puzzling to me... Any suggestions welcome to solve this conundrum..

thanks for the help..

Try changing the label text to a standard string just to see if it changes.

Try building your string with stringbuilder and checking it's value before assigning it to the label.

Sorry, but you don't give enough information.
Without seeing your total code it is difficult to help.
