VisualC# program advice

Hi. After a bit of advice. Using visual c# I want to write a program based on quiz results. The program accepts 4 user names. Each user then puts their finishing position in the quiz (first, second, third and fourth). First place awards 10 points, second 5, third 3 and fourth zero, then names and points displayed. Any ideas how I can do this using no text file (just variables/arrays etc.). Thanks in advance

class Program

int User = 0;

I Create for First User You Can Check Now

Hi Abdul, I have attached RAR file of image if that helps. If you want me to send you the full project please let know and I will :) thanks

Dear Jayce Mcintosh,

Your Project Image is Not Clear if possible you can upload your project as rar file or images.

Hello again. I have now put the code in to Visual Studio (with text boxes etc.), got it working and learnt a lot from doing so. My final question (and this is really going to test you) is how to make it so each user can enter 3 events (instead of just the one) with same rules as before (i.e. 10 points for first, 5 for second etc. (but for each event)) but when all results are inputted the totals added are displayed. If you would be so kind as to help with this, please could you do it in the console as I have learnt a lot putting it in to Visual Studio. Many thanks again I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this :) Image of what I mean is below:

You Welcome Jayce Mcintosh when ever you want to ask.

Genius Abdul thank you. That is all questions I have for now. I may be asking another in a few weeks if that's OK. Thanks again much appreciated!

I did it For FirstUserPosition other you can like same like that also you can ask as many question as you want i will try my best to help you and qive you appropriate answer

}
}

Absolute final question now then I will try this in visual c# (works perfectly in console by the way). How can I make the user only enter a number for position and not a string (this throws an error), and positions entered are only between 1 to 4 (you can enter 5, 6, 7 etc.). Thanks again and this is the final question!

Abdul thank you again, very much appreciated :)

Abdul Salam fantastic answer! Is there any easy way to make it so all users can't enter the same position? I.e. all players finish first? Thanks again!

Brilliant thank you so much

Hello Jayce Mcintosh,

Without file or database this is possible but you have to use Client side storage

like , session ,querystring , or store in datatable and datatable store in session and also array is great option .
