Hi every one

I try to make program to add 7 number in C# window application

so I make 8 text box and one button for calculate

code :

  private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			string num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6, num7;
			num1 = TextBox1.Text;
			num2 = TextBox2.Text;
			num3 = TextBox3.Text;
			num4 = TextBox4.Text;
			num5 = TextBox5.Text;
			num6 = TextBox6.Text;
			num7 = TextBox7.Text;

			Convert.ToInt32(num1);
			Convert.ToInt32(num2);
			Convert.ToInt32(num3);
			Convert.ToInt32(num4);
			Convert.ToInt32(num5);
			Convert.ToInt32(num6);
			Convert.ToInt32(num7);

			TextBox8.Text = num1 + num2 + num3 + num4 + num5 + num6 + num7;
		}  

but the problem is when I click the button the answer is = num1 num2 num3 num4 num5 num6 num7
which means no add happened.

Can any one explain why?

You should get rid of all those convertions and just use

int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6, num7;

Reason why its doing that is becasue I think its still plusing the strings.

You might be confused,

int , string , bool are all varibles and can be used in all cases dosn't matter if its on a console or a form they are all the same.

int = numbers (Default int32)
string = "all crazy stuff in quotes"
bool = true or false

ya I know all are a variables

but when you run aprogram and write number in textbox it's consider string

[noorahmad]

try this:

int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6, num7;
			num1 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text);
			num2 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text);
			num3 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox3.Text);
			num4 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox4.Text);
			num5 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox5.Text);
			num6 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox6.Text);
			num7 = Convert.ToInt32(textBox7.Text);

			textBox8.Text = (num1 + num2 + num3 + num4 + num5 + num6 + num7).ToString();

I think its because the varible is still a string when it comes out the other end.

Although Convert.ToInt32() will work it is wiser to use the int.TryParse() and int.Parse() pair because:

• It's more OO friendly. Using a separate class to convert another object to a different object (i.e. using Convert.ToInt32() etc.) makes no sense in OO Paradigm. It's more sensible to use a conversion function from one the classes that is being converted.
  
• The TryParse() function can tell you if the string can be converted to an integer or not in the first place. This helps in writing sturdy text validation routines.

Your error is that you are adding strings

look this line " num1 + num2 "

"num1" and "num2" both are string and the result will be a added string which you are getting

Example

Let i have three textbox name "textbox1" ,"textbox2" and "textbox3"

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
		  
		   int num1 =  Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text);
		   
		   int num2 =  Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text);

		   int result = num1 + num2;
		  
		   textbox3.Text = result.ToString();

	   }

In the first step i have converted the textbox1 text to integer and put the value in num1

Second step i have converted the textbox2 text to integer and put the value in num2

Third i have added num1 and num2 ,Note i have added integers not strings
and put it in the variable result

Fourth i converted the integer value to string using ToString() method to show the result in textbox3

You can get good lessons over C# on microsoft website check it out

hope it helped.
