Microsoft Visual BASIC .net problem

[Argon88]

I have an error in the program I'm making has an error in my calculate button code.

Private Sub btnCalc_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalc.Click
Dim dblUnitsPerYear As Double
Dim dblSetupCost As Double
Dim dblCarryingCost As Double
Dim dblProductionLotSize As Double

dblUnitsPerYear = Convert.ToDouble(nupUnitsPerYear.Value)
dblSetupCost = Convert.ToDouble(nupSetupCost.Value)
dblCarryingCost = Convert.ToDouble(nupCarryingCost.Value)

dblProductionLotSize =(2 * dblUnitsPerYear * dblSetupCost) / dblCarryingCost)^.5 'right here

txtProductionLotSize.Text = FormatNumber(dblProductionLotSize)
End Sub

Under the ^.5 there is squiglies, the massage it gives me is "end of statement expected." What's wrong?

dblProductionLotSize =(2 * dblUnitsPerYear * dblSetupCost) / dblCarryingCost)^.5

Kinda missing a right parens

I would guess it should be
dblProductionLotSize =(2 * dblUnitsPerYear * dblSetupCost) / dblCarryingCost)^.5)

NOpe its a left paren
this
dblProductionLotSize =(2 * dblUnitsPerYear * dblSetupCost) / dblCarryingCost)^.5
is
dblProductionLotSize =((2 * dblUnitsPerYear * dblSetupCost) / dblCarryingCost)^.5

I thought it was something simple I was missing.

Thanks for the heads up.

By the way, is the error "end of statement expected" always coused by something like that?

ya, either a broken If/End If .. broken loop, or broken parens etc. Something of that nature 95% of the time.

(the other 5% lord only knows )
