Explanation / Answer

This should get you started. I used a list box, but you can just change it to a text box for the result if you need to. I also used the abbreviations instead of full name. Public Class Form1 Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDisplay.Click Dim state As String Dim price As Double Dim total As Double 'get values for text boxes state = txtState.Text.ToUpper price = txtPrice.Text 'get tax and calculate the total Select Case state Case "CA" total = (0.0975 * price) + price lstResult.Items.Add(FormatCurrency(total)) Case "FL" total = (0.06 * price) + price lstResult.Items.Add(FormatCurrency(total)) Case "HI" total = price lstResult.Items.Add(FormatCurrency(total)) Case "NY" total = (0.04 * price) + price lstResult.Items.Add(FormatCurrency(total)) Case "TX" total = (0.0625 * price) + price lstResult.Items.Add(FormatCurrency(total)) End Select End Sub End Class
