Ok so I am doing some newbie style error checking stuff to keep a program running. Because I am still learning the basics. But in these examples I am simply trying to look at the text value of TextBox9.Text & depending on its current value it will either Add 1 to counter & continue....or Msgbox me, clear the listbox & clear the listbox count. So now when my program successfully does an action, the next line in code will be... TextBox9.Text = ("good"). Later in the code it will do TextBox9.Text = ("bad"). Then I will have a timer checking every "X" minutes for the text currently set in TextBox9.Text..that way if an hour later it still says "bad" i could make it start up again etc.
Which one of these 2 examples should I be using (One if just IF .... the other uses IF & ElseIF)
Or is there a better/simpler way to write this out/have it perform as I want it to
Thanks! I know this is simple stuff for most of you so please hold back your laughter! LOL

Code:
'Example #1 (using just IF's)
Private Sub Timer13_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer13.Tick
If TextBox9.Text = ("good") Then
counter += 1
Continue(counter)
If TextBox9.Text = ("bad") Then
MsgBox("Starting over!")
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
counter = 0
StartOver(counter)
End If
End If
End Sub
'Example #2 (using if & elseif)
Private Sub Timer13_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer13.Tick
If TextBox9.Text = ("good") Then
counter += 1
Continue(counter)
ElseIf TextBox9.Text = ("bad") Then
MsgBox("Starting over!")
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
counter = 0
StartOver(counter)
Else
End If
End Sub
