Question

I’m new with c# and I need some help with my little app.

I want to have a button which starts the game over again after you are done, but the program needs to keep the total score. (you receive points for guessing)

Thanks in advance,

Philip

Why not this?

private void PlayAgainButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Random generator = new Random();
    number = generator.Next(0, 101);
    numberoftries = 0;
    MessageBox.Show("Try to guess a number between 1 and 100");
}

InitializeComponent is the method that parses your XAML to build the form. It’s not intended to reset the state of your object.
