The Percentage(%) sign doesn't work in VB

[Mesbahullah13]

I'm trying to add Percentage to my Calculator in VB but the Percentage(%) sign doesn't work it keeps saying "Character is not valid"

Heres my code

Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnPercentage_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnPercentage.Click
Dim iNumber1 As Integer
Dim iNumber2 As Integer
Dim iAns As Integer

'input
iNumber1 = txtNumber1.Text
iNumber2 = txtNumber2.Text

'processing
iAns = iNumber1 % iNumber2

'output
txtAnswer.Text = iAns
End Sub
End Class

You can't use percent signs in VBA like that. Please see Type Characters - Visual Basic for further details.

I would suggest modifying your code like this:

iAns = iNumber1/iNumber2

txtAnswer.Text = VBA.Format(iAns,"00%")
