Question

I’m trying to save a button’s location in a variable, but I have no idea how to do it.Since the code shows the x and the y of the button, can I also save both x and y separately?

  Console.WriteLine(button.Location);
<X=100,Y=100>

I want it to save the X value in var1, and Y value in var2.

Answer 1

You can save it as a single Point or as two different integers:

Point location = button.Location;
int xLocation = button.Location.X;
int yLocation = button.Location.Y;

You can then restore the position like this:

button.Location = location;
button.Location = new Point(xLocation, yLocation);

Note: Point is a struct (value type) so changing location will not change button.Location. In other words this will have no effect:

Point location = button.Location;
location.X += 100;

You’d need to do this:

Point location = button.Location;
location.X += 100;
button.Location = location;

or

button.Location = new Point(button.Location.X + 100, button.Location.Y);
