I need a little help finishing a Visual Basic .Net Project

[XBoxLPU]

It is a program calcuating employee yearly raises.

The different percentage rates are different for the three different job positions which are sales(8%), management(5%), and labor(10%). If you have been there for more then 15 years you get an additonal 2%.

I have got the program working for the three different positions but I do not know how to add the additional 2% for the 15 years or more

The teacher has not taught us to use if else then statements or selectcase ( next chapter ).I am assuming she wants us to use the global variables to keep track of everything but I am lost. And I am not finding anything on the net or in my book dealing with this situation

Thanks

Private Sub WHATEVERYOURINCREASEBY.2BUTTON IS (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles radlabor.CheckedChanged
rate = rate + 0.2
End Sub

Or, since you're using .NET, you can shorten this to:

But the way your code is setup, you'll have to be careful about what order you check the the checkboxes. If you Check the 15 Year box first, this will add 0.02 to whatever the current rate is. Then, if you check another checkbox it will override the rate to something else, when it should be adding to the 0.02 that's already there.

without using If Then's, I dont' think so.

If you want to get technical, you can use the IIf function.
