If statement problem

[Mr.Joker]

Ok. I have one button and one textbox. Now, user should enter how old he is. I want to make statement that if he is older then 13 some messagebox will popup. Problem is that with VB i know how to do that but in C# its not working on that way. Here is the code I made:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int[] num = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 };
            for (int i = 0 ; i<=13;i++) {
                if (textBox1.Text > num[i].ToString())
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("You are enough old to join us.");
                }
            }

        }
    }
}

What can be the problem?

you need : if (Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text) > num[i]) Though why you need an Array and loop I dont know. Just do if (Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text) > 13)

[Mr.Joker]

For practice. Learning loops and arrays, thats why

I would use Integer.Parse instead as it's directly optimized for string input. Although instead of looping through each value, if you really desire to use an array here (which keep in mind, is definitely unnecessary and convoluted), then you could just check whether the parsed TextBox Text value is contained within the array, instead of looping and checking for comparable values. Which is also slower.
