Beginner Problem (Accessibility Issues)

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.

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.

                private void InitializeComponent()
                {
                        this.lblValue = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();

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 :D

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

Code:

---

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