' displays the pig latin form of a word

Dim originalWord As String
Dim pigLatin As String

originalWord = Me.xWordTextBox.Text

If originalWord.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper Like "[AEIOU]" Then
' if the word begins with a vowel, add "-way" to the end of the word
pigLatin = originalWord & "-way"

Else

Dim isVowelOrY As Boolean
'Dim indexNum As Integer
'Dim word As String

Dim length As Integer

Do
pigLatin = originalWord.Substring(0, 1)
originalWord = originalWord.Remove(0, 1)
length = originalWord.Length
Loop Until originalWord.Substring(0, 1) Like "[AEIOU]"
If originalWord.Substring(0, 1) Like "[AEIOU]" Then
originalWord = originalWord & "ay"
Me.Label1.Text = "This word in pig latin is " & originalWord.ToLower & "."
End If

If Not isVowelOrY Then
' if the word does not contain a vowel or the letter y,
' add "-way" to the end of the word
pigLatin = originalWord & "-way"

Else

' if the word does not begin with a vowel or the letter y, but it contains
' a vowel or the letter y, add a dash to the end of the word, then
' continue moving the first character to the end of the word until
' end of the word

I'll be a monkey's oinkle. You didn't read the "How to Post a Question" thread, did you? Shamey, shamey, shamey.

Your code is already hard to read as it is... maybe because its in VB, or maybe because you forgot to use code tags. :/. Repost with code tags and post the exact error. My eyes go numb looking at what you sent so far.

Also, for a bit more of an insight on this, look at the other thread you made.
