Simple C# Question

Why doesn't this work? the panel does not show. It really should, it does if i add the panel from the Designer..

Code:

---

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 iPhone_Clone
{
    public partial class HomeScreen : Form
    {
        public HomeScreen()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        Panel Panel = new Panel();
        PictureBox PicBox = new PictureBox();

        private void HomeScreen_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Panel.BackColor = Color.Green;
            Panel.Width = 50;
            Panel.Height = 100;
            Panel.Top = 50;
            Panel.Left = 50;

            PicBox.BackColor = Color.Red;

            Panel.Controls.Add(PicBox);

            Panel.Visible = true;

        }

       

    }
}

You need to add the panel to the control collection of the form like you did with the picturebox in the panel.

Thanks!

This doesn't work..

Code:

---


This.controls.add(Panel) ;

It'll work if you do it properly so you haven't done it properly. Show us what your code actually looks like now.

Also, it's really a very bad idea to use 'Panel' as the name for a variable of type Panel. It's like you're trying to make your code confusing. At least follow the almost universal convention of starting the names of variables with a lower-case letter, but also try to provide a descriptive name that indicates something's purpose and distinguishes it from its type.
