Hi,

i have this code line in a script in my ASP.net / VB web site:

dim msgNewsletterAction

msgNewsletterAction = Request.Form("newsletterAction")

if msgNewsletterAction = "go" Then
Code1
Else
Code2
End If

Code2 runs everytime even when msgNewsletterAction = "go". Code1 never runs.

I sent the value of msgNewsletterAction to an email address using
AspNetEmail.
I readed my email and the value of the variable was correct and equal to
"go".

So why doesn't Code1 runs?

Thanks,
Miguel
 
Please don't open a new thread for the the issue.

I hope in your real application you have Option Strict On.
msgNewsletterAction = Request.Form("newsletterAction")
Click to expand...

Try this here:

msgbox msgNewsletterAction.gettype.fullname
msgbox msgNewsletterAction.tostring.length

What is displayed?
if msgNewsletterAction = "go" Then
Code1
Else
Code2
End If
Click to expand...

What if you declared msgNewsletterAction as
Dim msgNewsletterAction as String?

And by using CType(Request.Form("newsletterAction"), GetType(System.String))

I would check a few more things as well.

First of all, using Request.Form only grabs variables that are POSTed, not
through the QueryString, since I don't know his query string, I thought I
would just bring that up.

Second, is Option Compare Text on? (this is why I don't use strings in web
queries). Go != GO != go

Third, Listen to Armin about the option strict on, using a straight out Dim
reminds me of old asp 2.0 days... It's extra work to go through all those
conversions... That, and its just bad practice.

Isn't there any other way to output the value and check it?
