Question

I’m creating a game in C# in Microsoft Visual C# express and I’m using the string label .Content and I seem to be getting an error on the program saying that there is no definition how can this be fixed?

        //Label contents...
        label1.Content = "100";
        label2.Content = "200";
        label3.Content = "300";
        label4.Content = "400";
        label5.Content = "500";
        label6.Content = "800";
        label7.Content = "1000";
        label8.Content = "5000";
        label9.Content = "8000";
        label10.Content = "10000";
        label11.Content = "15000";
        label12.Content = "20000";
        label13.Content = "30000";
        label14.Content = "50000";
        label15.Content = "60000";
        label16.Content = "80000";
        label17.Content = "100000";
        label18.Content = "130000";
        label19.Content = "160000";
        label20.Content = "180000";
        label21.Content = "200000";

i have to make it work with this

if ( label1.Container.ToString() == p)
        {
            label1.Content += "     (lost)";

The System.Windows.Forms.Label class doesn’t have a property called Content which is why you are receiving your compile error.

Just guessing at what you want to do with this I would say you’re looking for Label.Text.

Update:

I believe Content is the common WPF equivalent (roughly) to Control.Text in Winforms. If you got it to work before then you’re either using a different set of controls or you’re not using WinForms.
