    why does it say i keep dividing by zero?
    This is my code and it tells me I'm dividing by zero but I don't understand why.

    Dim WallWidth As Decimal 'width of wall
    Dim WallHeight As Decimal 'height of wall
    Dim RollLength As Decimal ' length of wallpaper roll
    Dim RollWidth As Decimal ' width of wallpaper roll
    Dim areawall As Integer
    Dim area As Integer
    Dim NumofRoll As Integer 'number of rolls needed
    Dim totroll As Integer

    'Text box is numeric
    If txtwidthwall.Text <> "" Then
    'assign text box
    If IsNumeric(txtwidth.Text) Then
    WallWidth = Convert.ToInt32(txtwidth.Text)
    ElseIf IsNumeric(txtheight.Text) Then
    WallHeight = Convert.ToInt32(txtheight.Text)
    ElseIf IsNumeric(txtlengthwall.Text) Then
    RollLength = Convert.ToInt32(txtlengthwall.Text)
    ElseIf IsNumeric(txtwidthwall.Text) Then
    RollWidth = Convert.ToInt32(txtwidthwall.Text)

    Else
    MessageBox.Show("Please enter number.", _
    "Wallpaper", MessageBoxButtons.OK, _
    MessageBoxIcon.Information, _
    MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)

    End If
    areawall = (WallWidth * WallHeight)
    area = (RollLength * RollWidth)
    totroll = Convert.ToInt32(areawall / area)
    End If
    Me.lbltotal.Text = Convert.ToString(totroll)

    I only see one place where you are dividing anything and the variable is area, so area is ending up with a value of 0. Stick in some messageboxes at various locations throughout the program to show variable values, or else trace through it. Int conversions can also truncate yielding unexpected results.
