Weather Web Service

[kirby198372]

there are no errors showing on the code screen but when I debug it to test it and goes to receive, my message box saying "web service not available" pops up.
It is built with a Text Box for Zip entry, Combo box for Weather or forecast, lblForecast for return. Three buttons Submit, Clear, and Exit. Submit is the one button not working.

The methods are:
GetCityForecastByZIP ( ZIP As string ) As ForecastReturn
Allows you to get your City Forecast Over the Next 7 Days, which is updated hourly. U.S. Only

GetCityWeatherByZIP ( ZIP As string ) As WeatherReturn
Allows you to get your City's Weather, which is updated hourly. U.S. Only

I need an example or step by step to correct. I am new to VB and hitting this wall and feel I'm so close. Thank you in advance for your help im really struggling here.

At the" lblForecast.text = intZipCode.ToString & " " & strWeatherType " it is underlined with the hint variable intZipCode is used before it has been assigned a value. Same for strWeatherType.

In the MsgBox("Web Service Not Available", , "Error") line, display the actual error from the exception. It will probably give you more information on what is wrong.

Another alternative (i.e. a better one) is add a couple of breakpoints and step through your code in the debugger. That way you can inspect the variables in your program at run time and figure out the exact line of the failure.
