Output text to windows Form

Brian

Hello,

I just came over from mainly programing consol applications to giving windows forms and .NET a try. One major question I had was writing output to the screen. The classic example that is always done is the "Hello World" application. With a console app. a simple cout<<"Hello World"<

Thank you for your time and help.

Brian

For windows forms, output text is normally done with a textbox. Just go to the Form View Designer and drag a textbox control from the toolbox to the form.

Double-click on the form... this will generate an event handler
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e).

Then inside the Form1_Load method, just put textBox1.Text = "Hello World"; where textBox1 is the defaultname of the dragged textBox.
