Question

I made a simple tic,tac,toe game. I have two forms, Form1 and frmStats. on my frmStats I have a Label lblDraw.
I want it so when the players get in a draw, the label will increment by one. How do I access that from Form1‘s code?

my Form1 code:

if (winner != 0)
  this.Text = String.Format("Player {0} Wins!", winner);
else if (winner == 0 && turnCounter == 9)
  this.Text = "Draw!";
 //this is where i want/think the code should be to change the label
else
  ...

Answer 1

First of all set the Label lblDraw as

In frmStats form

 public string strNumber
 {
    get
    {
        return lblDraw.Text;
    }
    set
    {
        lblDraw.Text = value;
    }
 }

Form1

    if (winner != 0)
        this.Text = String.Format("Player {0} Wins!", winner);
    else if (winner == 0 && turnCounter == 9)
    {
        this.Text = "Draw!";
        //this is where i want/think the code should be to change the label
        frmStats frm = new frmStats();
        string number = frm.strNumber;
        frm.strNumber = (Convert.ToInt32(number) + 1).ToString(); //incrementing by 1
    }

or else simply set the Label lblDraw modifier as public, which is not recommended.
