Question

What would be the best way to display items in c# in a form

For example I have a pizza(small,medium,large) button.

If I press the small pizza button it will display like this:

Order:
Item          Quantity    Price
Small Pizza   1           3.99

If I press the add pepperoni button it will display like this:

Order:
Item          Quantity    Price
Small Pizza   1           3.99
-Pepperoni    1           0.99

If I press the add pepperoni button it will display like this(making it double pep):

Order:
Item          Quantity    Price
Small Pizza   1           3.99
-Pepperoni    2           1.98

Also adding another item such as a large pizza it will display like this:

Order:
Item          Quantity    Price
Small Pizza   1           3.99
-Pepperoni    2           1.98
Large Pizza   1           6.99

I basically just want it so you can see what you’ve added to the order.

What would be the best way to do this with c# and windows form?

Answer 1

For a general look at some of the tools available for developing c# applications focused on winforms I’d point you to the MSDN How Tos:

There are some specific for list controls which others have mentioned, and several provide examples of how to hook up button press events to performing user interface actions.

I would also advise the use of databinding in place of “manually” setting/retrieving values.
