Random Class

kindra dragon

Hey all,
I am having trouble with one of my programs im trying to make with random class. I am a begginer of C# and was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.

            Random x = new Random();
            int randomNumber = x.Next(1, 5);
            labelNumber.Text +=
                randomNumber + "";

That is my code to generate a number so I can assign it to an if statement eg.

          if ( labelNumber = 1)
             outputBox.Text = "You won"
etc. etc.
I cant get it to work because it says
Error    1    Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'System.Windows.Forms.Label'
Error    2    Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Windows.Forms.Label' to 'bool'

If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!!

In C#, '=' is an assignment operator. The equality operator is '==' so that line needs to be:

if (labelNumber.Text == x.ToString() )

Hey, I'm still having trouble with the codes. When you used TextBox and the number 2 i substituted it like this.
   int x = 1;


            if (labelNumber.Text = x.ToString() )

                outPut.Text = "Yes you win!)";

I am still getting Error    1    Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'

By the way, you missed a semi colon ; in your code just after "you won", it's hard to migrate from VB to C family languges I know, but I lasts only for the first period

Well, you missed to convert your number to string before to assign it to the textBox.Text
I mean
int x = 2;
textBox.Text = x // This peace of code generates a code
but you have to do as so
textBox.Text = Convert.ToString(x);
or simply
textBox.Text = x.ToString();
