Radio button. How do I give a numeric value to it?

Song Lee

Hi,
This is my first time working on Windows form, and I need some help.

I have 2 radio buttons, and I want to know how to give numeric values to them in order to use them in future formulas
(ex: if selected yes, it will be -100 from total. If selected no, it will be +5 from total)

o Yes o No

so far, I only got to this on MainForm.cs:

yesButton.Checked = true;
noButton.Checked = true;

Which, I am not even sure if I am on right track...

Help! D:

Accepted answer
If you're going to use these values a lot you could write a read-only property to include in your form:

private int RadioButtonValue
{
get
{
if (yesButton.Checked) return -100;
if (noButton.Checked) return 5;
return 0;
}
}

So if you had a line like this:

int total = 100 + RadioButtonValue;

then total would equal 0 if the yesButton was checked or 105 if the noButton was checked.
