asp.net - No messages from my code is getting displayed. Am I doing this incorrectly? -

i have markup on formview control. formview has control id of scoregrid:

<asp:label id="percentlabel" runat="server" text='<%# eval("percentcorrect","{0:0.00}%" ) %>' 

all values calculations stored in percentlabel control percentages 83.33% example.

then on codebhind, on pageload() event, have this:

dim myrow formviewrow = scoregrid.row dim lbscore label = directcast(myrow.findcontrol("percentlabel"), label) if lbscore.text < "75"     message.text = "your score not meet minimum requirement" elseif lbscore.text > "75"     message.text = "congratulations; have passed test" end if 

based on user's scores, show user either passed test or not.

i not getting errors. however, no message getting displayed.

what doing wrong?

thank you

you comparing strings greater , less logic when need use numeric types comparison, this:

dim number single   if single.tryparse(lbscore.text, number)     ' comparison logic     if number < 75         message.text = "your score not meet minimum requirement"     elseif number >= 75         message.text = "congratulations; have passed test"     end if else     ' not convert text lbscore single     message.text = "error trying determine score!" end if
