Question

I am creating an Facebook desktop application to fetch past 20 facebook statuses. Since I am a newbie, I am not sure how to fit this in the UI. I am able to do this in Console by just writing a for loop. How about windows forms? How do I get dynamic content and display it?

Answer 1

One simple way of doing that would be to create Labels at runtime and then add them to the form in a loop. Something on the following lines

    foreach (var status in facebookStatus)
    {
        Label lblStatus = new Label();
        lblStatus.Text = status;
        this.Controls.Add(lblStatus);
    }

This is just for starting up your work, later you may need your own control to display the status, and then you may add that control to the form.
