WelcomeText.Text = 'Hello ' + nameText.Text This time we will be adding code to the helloButton_Click event method to read the value from nameText, combine it with some extra text and then display the result in welcomeText: private void helloButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) Click on the Form1.cs tab above the code area to return to the visual view of the Form and double click on helloButton to access the code. This will take place when helloButton is pressed. The next task is to read the text entered into nameText and use it to display a message in welcomeText. We can achieve this by calling the Close() method in the closeButton_Click event: private void closeButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

When the closeButton is pressed by the user we want the application to exit. Amongst the code is the closeButton_Click event method: The display will change to show the code for the application. To display the code associated with the closeButton double click on it. All we need to do, therefore, is write some code for the Click events of our buttons. For example, when a button is pressed a Click event is triggered. The next task in creating our application is to add some functionality so that things happen when we press the two buttons in our form. The second textBox should be named nameText, the left hand and right hand buttons helloButton and closeButton respectively.Īdding Behavior to a Visual Studio C# Application Repeat the above task by selecting each component in the Form in turn and changing the (Name) property. Scroll to the top of the list of properties until the (Name) value is visible and change this name from textBox1 to welcomeText: Begin by selecting the top TextEdit component in the Form area so that the panel displays the properties for this component. This and other properties relating to components are specified through the Properties panel which is located in the bottom right hand corner of the main Visual Studio window. It is recommended, therefore, that the default names provided by Visual Studio be replaced by more meaningful ones. For this reason it is important to specify meaningful names which identify the component when referenced in the C# source code. It is via these names that any C# code will interact with the user interface of the application.

As components are added to the Form, Visual Studio assigns default names to each one.
