Question

Im just learning C# at uni and seem to be struggling to get this random number to out put in a textbox. I havnt learnt a language before this so apologies if its a simple question.

I want to create 5 random numbers, between two different numbers specified by the user. Then print the 5 numbers generated into a textbox to display them.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

        int firstnum = Int32.Parse(txtboxnum.Text);
        int secondnum = Int32.Parse(txtboxnum2.Text);


        Random random = new Random();
        int randomNumber = random.Next(firstnum, secondnum);

        Int32 loop = 0;
        do
        {
            loop++;
        }
        while (loop > 5);

        string myString = randomNumber.ToString();

       string  txtboxanswer = myString;

I would be much appreciative of any suggestions where im going wrong. As i just cant seem to get the answer to appear in my textbox. I know i must be close. I hope 🙂

Thanks for all help in advance.

Simply, you did not set the Text property of the TextBox to the result.

txtBoxName.Text= myString
