maybe I'm a retard

plz someone correct me if i'm just being stupid.

 

int x = 20;

 x += 20;

 //x should now = 40 which works BUT

x -= 20;

//x should now = 20 shouldn't it?

 

or have I just dreamed up this function? Today is not a good day.....

There must be something else happening (ie how many threads are you running?)

just a single thread, thats why i said its so weird or maybe i'm a retard. I have to leave the office now. I'm going to check in the morning exactly why and when I find my n00b mistake I'll post it here so we can all have a friday morning laugh ;)

Nothing wrong with the code you wrote. (Final value of x is 20) There must be something else that you're not revealing here.

Good morning, well, It is now official. I truely am a n00b. it really does help when you wrap your page_load code in a If (!Page.IsPostback) block. I know officially feel like an idiot and my dreams of becoming ASP.Net MVP are shredded. LOL, i'm a n00b. thanks for the comments though.
