False Text Display

well im finishing up my project and for some reason this code isnt working:

//All of the 'using System...' allows access to various constructors and methods that are preprogrammed
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
//This is the class that is responsible for the form
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
//Creates multiple picture boxes, a timer and text boxes
PictureBox Pointer, Target;
Timer Time;
TextBox Points, Counter, Stop;

//Creates two constant variables = 500
const int swidth = 500;
const int sheight = 500;

//Sets the size of the 'sizePointer' and 'sizeTarger' variables to 6,6
Size sizePointer = new Size(6, 6);
Size sizeTarget = new Size(6, 6);

//Sets 'TimeInterval' to 1
int TimeInterval = 1;

//The actual form
public Form1()
{
//Allows the form to be created
InitializeComponent();

//Allows the random constructor to be used
Random rnd = new Random();
//Sets two variables to be random numbers between 50 and 450
int x = rnd.Next(50, 450);
int y = rnd.Next(50, 450);

//Sets 'Time' to be a timer
Time = new Timer();
//Turns the timer on
Time.Enabled = true;
//Sets the speed of the timer to the variable 'TimeInterval'
Time.Interval = TimeInterval;
//Makes 'Tick' happen when the TimeInterval has been reached
Time.Tick += new EventHandler(Tick);

//Sets the width of the form to 'swidth'
this.Width = swidth;
//Sets the height of the form to 'sheight'
this.Height = sheight;
//Sets the starting position of the form to center screen
this.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;

//Sets 'Pointer' as a picture box
Pointer = new PictureBox();
//Sets the size of 'Pointer' to be 'sizePointer'
Pointer.Size = sizePointer;
//Adds 'Pointer' to the form
this.Controls.Add(Pointer);

//Sets 'Target' as a picture box
Target = new PictureBox();
//Sets the size of 'Target' to be 'sizeTarget'
Target.Size = sizeTarget;
//Creates 'Target' at the point (x,y) which are the random variables
Target.Location = new Point(x,y);
//Sets 'Target' to be black
Target.BackColor = Color.Black;
//Adds 'Target' to the form
this.Controls.Add(Target);

//Sets 'Points' as a text box
Points = new TextBox();
//Makes 'Points' read only
Points.ReadOnly = Enabled;
//Adds 'Points' to the form
this.Controls.Add(Points);
//Sets the text in 'Points' to 0
Points.Text = "0";

//Sets 'Counter' as a text box
Counter = new TextBox();
//Makes 'Counter' read only
Counter.ReadOnly = Enabled;
//Sets the location of 'Counter' to (384, 0)
Counter.Location = new Point(384, 0);
//Adds 'Counter' to the form
this.Controls.Add(Counter);
//Sets the text in 'Counter' to 20
Counter.Text = "20";

//Sets 'Stop' as a text box
Stop = new TextBox();
//Makes 'Stop' read only
Stop.ReadOnly = Enabled;
//Sets the location of 'Stop' to (185, 200)
Stop.Location = new Point(185, 200);
}

//Creates the 'Tick' method
void Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Creates a new location for pointer at its current x and y coordenates
Pointer.Location = new Point(Pointer.Location.X, Pointer.Location.Y);
//Calls 'Movement' method
Movement();
//Calls 'Tag' method
Tag();
//Calls 'Time' method
Timer();
//Calls 'End' method
End();
}

//Creates the 'End' method
private void End()
{
//Creates 'c' as a string and sets it to 0
bool c = Convert.ToBoolean(0);
//Starts a conditional loop
//Conditions are that the text in 'Counter' is 0
if (Convert.ToBoolean(Counter.Text = Convert.ToString(c)))
{
Counter.Text = "0";
//Adds 'Stop' to the form
this.Controls.Add(Stop);
//Sets the text in 'Stop' to Times Up
Stop.Text = "Times Up, your score \n is " + Points.Text;
}
}

//Creates the 'Timer' method
private void Timer()
{
//Starts a conditional loop
//Conditions are that 'TimeInterval' is set to 1
if (Convert.ToBoolean(TimeInterval) == Convert.ToBoolean(1))
{
//Creates 'CounterValue' and sets it to 0
double CounterValue = 0.0;
//Creates 'b' and sets it to the text from 'Counter'
string b = Counter.Text;
//Creates 'isParse'
bool isParse = Double.TryParse(Counter.Text, out CounterValue);
if (isParse)
{
//Sets 'b' to 'CounterValue' - .01
b = (CounterValue - .01).ToString();
}
//Sets the text displayed in the Points to 'b'
Counter.Text = Convert.ToString(b);
}
}

//Creates the 'resetTarget' method
private void resetTarget()
{
//Allows the random constructor to be used
Random rnd = new Random();
//Sets two variables to be random numbers between 50 and 450
int x = rnd.Next(50, 450);
int y = rnd.Next(50, 450);

//Makes a new target at the point (x,y)
Target.Location = new Point(x, y);
}

//Creates the 'Tag' method
private void Tag()
{
//Starts conditional loop
//Conditions are that the pointers edges touch the targets edges
if (Pointer.Bounds.IntersectsWith(Target.Bounds))
{
//Creates 'a' and sets it to what the current text in 'Points'
//and adds 1 to it
int a = int.Parse(Points.Text) + 1;
//Sets the text displayed in the Points to 'a'
Points.Text = Convert.ToString(a);
//Calls the 'resetTarget' method
resetTarget();
}
}

//Creates the 'Movement' method
private void Movement()
{
//Starts conditional loop
//Condition is that the mouses y coord is above or below 'Pointer's height or the mouses x coord is left or right of 'Pointer's width
if (this.PointToClient(MousePosition).Y >= Pointer.Height / 2 && this.PointToClient(MousePosition).Y <= ClientSize.Height - Pointer.Height / 2 || this.PointToClient(MousePosition).X >= Pointer.Width / 2 && this.PointToClient(MousePosition).X <= ClientSize.Width - Pointer.Width / 2)
{
//sets 'X' to the mouses x coord - the 'Pointer's width / 2
int X = this.PointToClient(MousePosition).X - Pointer.Width / 2;
//sets 'Y' to the mouses y coord - 'Pointer's height / 2
int Y = this.PointToClient(MousePosition).Y - Pointer.Height / 2;

//Makes a new pointer at the point (X,Y)
Pointer.Location = new Point(X, Y);
}
}
}
}

my problem is that in the top right corner of the form it says false where it should be counting down from 20. if you could help me with this it would be much apreciated. (this is a windows form application)

Accepted answer
Without trying the code, I suspect the problem may lie with this line in the End() method:

if (Convert.ToBoolean(Counter.Text = Convert.ToString(c)))

which should be:

if (Convert.ToBoolean(Counter.Text == Convert.ToString(c)))
