Question

What am I missing I cant figure it out by the way this is a simple tic tac toe game.

Also how can I incorporate a listbox with a horizontal scrollbar to select the player?

Player1 = (x) Or Player2 = (O)

Thanks in advance!!!

Button is a class in the System.Windows.Forms namespace.
Unless you import the namespace, the compiler won’t know which class you want.

You need to import the namespace by adding using System.Windows.Forms; to the top of the class..
