Beginner Problem (Accessibility Issues)

[MikeWasHere05]

Hey all,

I just started with C# today, I downloaded Borland C# Builder and tried making a simple form. I'm familiar with both C++ and Visual Basic, so there are many similarities that i'm noticing. I am trying to make a form that when clicking one button (btnUp) it adds 1 to the value of a label (lblValue). When you click another button (btnDown) it minuses 1 from the value of a label. Here's my code.

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace First_Project
{
	/// <summary>
	/// This is my first project in C#. I am seeing the similarities between this, Visual Basic, and C++
	/// </summary>
	public class WinForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
	{
		/// <summary>
		/// Required designer variable.
		/// </summary>
		public System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
		public System.Windows.Forms.Label lblValue;
		public System.Windows.Forms.Button btnUp;
		public System.Windows.Forms.Button btnDown;
		/*
		Originally:
		private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Label lblValue;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button btnUp;
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button btnDown;
		*/
		public WinForm()
		{
			//
			// Required for Windows Form Designer support
			//
			InitializeComponent();

			//
			// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
			//
		}

		/// <summary>
		/// Clean up any resources being used.
		/// </summary>
		protected override void Dispose (bool disposing)
		{
			if (disposing)
			{
				if (components != null)
				{
					components.Dispose();
				}
			}
			base.Dispose(disposing);
		}

		#region Windows Form Designer generated code
		/// <summary>
		/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
		/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
		/// </summary>
		private void InitializeComponent()
		{
			this.lblValue = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
			this.btnUp = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
			this.btnDown = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
			this.SuspendLayout();
			// 
			// lblValue
			// 
			this.lblValue.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(32, 88);
			this.lblValue.Name = "lblValue";
			this.lblValue.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(240, 48);
			this.lblValue.TabIndex = 0;
			this.lblValue.Text = "0";
			// 
			// btnUp
			// 
			this.btnUp.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(32, 176);
			this.btnUp.Name = "btnUp";
			this.btnUp.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(72, 24);
			this.btnUp.TabIndex = 1;
			this.btnUp.Text = "Up";
			this.btnUp.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnUp_Click);
			// 
			// btnDown
			// 
			this.btnDown.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(128, 176);
			this.btnDown.Name = "btnDown";
			this.btnDown.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(80, 24);
			this.btnDown.TabIndex = 2;
			this.btnDown.Text = "Down";
			// 
			// WinForm
			// 
			this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
			this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273);
			this.Controls.Add(this.btnDown);
			this.Controls.Add(this.btnUp);
			this.Controls.Add(this.lblValue);
			this.Name = "WinForm";
			this.Text = "My First Project";
			this.ResumeLayout(false);
		}
		#endregion

		/// <summary>
		/// The main entry point for the application.
		/// </summary>
		[STAThread]
		static void Main() 
		{
			Application.Run(new WinForm());
		}
		
		private void btnUp_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			lblValue.text = lblValue.Text + 1;
		}

	}
}

It would seem to me that I fixed the problem when changing the designer variable limitations from private to public, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Error it's giving out: [C# Error] WinForm.cs(111): 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.text' is inaccessible due to its protection level

Thanks in advance,
Mike

It's supposed to be .Text not .text.

this is one thing i'm having problems with coming from vb fortunately, the Intellisense usually helps me

Also, you shouldn't be adding an integer to a string. It looks like it's working fine, but at the very least do:

Label1.Text = (string)((int)Label1.Text + 1));
