I used this code to add a text box to windows form by button

but it doesn't work what is the code problem?

private void btnGetFullName_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox textbox_1 = new TextBox();
textbox_1.Text = "New TextBox";
System.Drawing.Font font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Bold);
textbox_1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
textbox_1.BackColor = Color.White;

textbox_1.Font = font;
this.Controls.Add(textbox_1);

}

On second thoughts, try putting it in the form's constructor instead:

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
btnGetFullName.Click += btnGetFullName_Click;
}

The code looks OK to me though you might want to also set the TextBox's Location property to a suitable point. Otherwise it will be placed in its default location at the top left hand corner of the form.

If it's not working, then how have you added the button Click handler? If you've just typed it in manually rather than double clicking the button in the VS designer, then it won't be wired up to the Click event.

To remedy this, add the following line in your Form_Load handler:

btnGetFullName.Click += btnGetFullName_Click;
