If Else Statement in vb.Net - vb.net

Question

I wanted to have this condition like i have b2.text, c3.text, d4.text, e5.text, f6.text, g7.text, h8.text, i9.text and j10.text.
And if they are all equal to zero then statement else continue.
i tried
If (b2.Text = 0 & c3.Text = 0 & d4.Text = 0 & e5.Text = 0 & f6.Text = 0 & g7.Text = 0 & h8.Text = 0 & i9.Text = 0 & j10.Text = 0) Then
a1.Text = 10000000
Else
Msgbox.Show("Cannot sort")
End if
Unfortunately i remembered & function only accept two variable only :P
How can i do it?
Thank you

Answer 1

You don't want & for VB, you want AndAlso. And while it is probably a bit above your level, you might want to look into Linq.
If ({b2.Text, c3.Text, d4.Text, e5.Text, f6.Text, g7.Text, h8.Text, i9.Text, j10.Text}).All(Function(f) f = "0") Then
a1.Text = 10000000
Else
Msgbox.Show("Cannot sort")
End IF
As others have said, you should turn on Option Strict, so that your comparison to an int gets flagged. I made the string "0" above, but you could easily modify it to use length if that is what you actually need.

I don't know what language are you using but I'm pretty sure you can compare more than 2 values The solution may be like this.
if (b2.text == 0 && c3.text == 0 && d4.text == 0 && e5.text== 0 && f6.text == 0 && g7.text == 0 && h8.text == 0 && i9.text == 0 && j10.text == 0) {
// when conditions are true
}
else {
// else code here
}
