There are better ways but:
1. create a boolean variable
2. add a timer to your project with a small interval
3. in the timer's tick event:
a. check for the status of the boolean
b. change the text of your label to "" when the boolean is true
c. set the boolean back to false
d. stop the timer
4. move the deletion code to its own sub and at the end of the
sub change the boolean variable to True
5. create a thread address of of your deletion sub
5. in the click event of your button:
a. start the timer
b. set the label's text to "Deleting..."
c. start your thread
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Try doing label1.refresh after setting the text each time.

The problem is that this code is running on the UI thread. So, any time your actually executing code, your app is not processing messages from Windows, like WM_PAINT. This tells your window or control to repaint itself, including updating the text you see in a label.
You have two options. The first is very easy. put a Application.DoEvents line right after you set the .Text property of the label. But! There's a problem with this. This command tells the app to process all pending messages in the applications message pump, including other button clicks, or anything else you can click on in your application. This could have disasterous results if you're not prepared for it.
The second option is to move the code that does the deleting to a background thread. You may want to check into the BackgroundWorker component to simplify this about as much as you're going to be able to.

True dat!

I think the label does show "Deleting..." but you have Label1.Text = "" so it does show your message but it is changing it from the word "Deleting..." too quick for you to notice.

Hi
I am trying to bind a control to a property ,but i keep getting an
Exception on the databindings.add part
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
though i have instanciated all my objects and within scope
where do i drop the ball ?
Thanks
Dim oMyClass As New TestClass("Test")
Dim oBind As Binding
oBind = New Binding("Text", oMyClass, "StringValue")
Me.TextBox2.DataBindings.Add(oBind)<----------exception
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class TestClass
Private m_StringValue As String
Public Event StringValueChanged(ByVal e As PropertyChangedEventArgs)
Public Property StringValue() As String
Get
Return m_StringValue
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
m_StringValue = Value
RaiseEvent StringValueChanged(New PropertyChangedEventArgs("StringValue"))
End Set
End Property
Sub New(ByVal InitialValue As String)
m_StringValue = InitialValue
End Sub
End Class

a program that uses the Next method from an object of type Random to produce two positive one-digit integers. It should display a question, such as
How much is 6 times 7?
The student should then type the answer into a Textbox. Your program should check the student’s answer. If it is correct, display “Very Good” in a Label, then ask another multiplication question. If the answer is incorrect, display “Wrong Answer. Please try again.” in the same Label, then let the student try the same question again until the student finally gets it right. A separate method should be used to generate each new question. This method should be called once when the program begins execution and then each time the user answers a question correctly.

No offense, but did you wait till the last day of the semester to start on your homework?
The people here might help you out if you make an attempt to program this and get stuck and include the necisary information to help you (like you did in the visual studio post I answered). However, they are not going to just write the code for you especially since these are obviously homework assignments.

Well, having read your 6 posts, all I can say is you are a right lazy t*sser who doesn't deserve a pass at any level.
I do have one consolation though, with a bit of luck nobody will employ you in a computing role, so I'll never have to fix your code.

I guess that your math grade will be in par with your computer science grade...
The first assignment might have index zero, making the seventh assignment have index 6, but then the eight assignment would not also have index 6...
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Erm 
Is that a question or a statement about your program?

a program that has a procedure or method INTEGER_POWER(base, exponent) that returns the value of:
baseexponent
For example, INTEGER_POWER(3,4) equals 3*3*3*3. Assume that exponent is a positive integer and that base is an integer. The method INTEGER_POWER should use only the looping techniques discussed and MUST NOT USE the Math library methods or the exponential operator, ^. Incorporate this program method into a Windows application that reads integer values from Textboxes for base and exponent from the user and performs the calculation by calling the method INTEGER_POWER. Display the answer in a message box.

Code for a program that print a table of binary, octal, and hexadecimal equivalents of the decimal numbers 1 to 256. If you are not familiar with number systems and conversions, you may research it in the internet or in the library.
Decimal Binary Octal Hexadecimal
1 00000001 1 1
2 00000010 2 2
3 00000011 3 3
4 00000100 4 4
5 00000101 5 5
