DIM is a keyword that is used to create, and optionally initialise, a variable. The textbox already exists, so that syntax won't work.

What you probably mean is something like

Dim Name As String = TextBox1.Text
Dim Address As String = TextBox2.Text

Then Name and Address can be used to do whatever you want to do with those string values.

This puts the text from textbox2 into textbox1

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox1.Text = TextBox2.Text

    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged

    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox2.TextChanged

    End Sub
End Class

You've taught me everything I know but not everything you know.

The variable (or I imagine more correctly property) Textbox1.Text is created when you add the control to the form. You don't want to create it again. All you have to do is:

Textbox1.Text = Textbox2.Text

Hello kyronfelinus,

lets say my form has a button and two text boxes, when the button is pushed i want to dim textbox1.text as new string = textbox2.text. how can i accomplish this because if i put textbox1.text after the dim it dims it as exactly that not whatever is currently in the textbox.

you can not use the controlloTextBox as a variable, because it is a type (control), follow the example of Acamar which states the type of string variable and associates the value of the variable TextBox1.

Regards.
