Hello I have created windows project- added a class-
I have a form with label, textbox, and button.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication
{
	//add class to windows project
	class ModelName
	{
	 //declare variables   
	  public string _name;
	  private string _modelName;
// add constructor and set  _name variable to "enter model brand"
	  public ModelName()
	  {
		  _name = "Enter Model Brand";
		
	  }
//property called modelName- string type
	  public string modelName
	  {
		  get
		  {
			  return _modelName;
		  }
		  set
		  {
			  _modeName = "Martin";
		  }
	  }


	  using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
{
	public partial class Form1 : Form
	{
		ModelName myClass = new ModelName();
		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}
	// label has text 'enter brand name' when form loads
		private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
	label1.Text = myClass._name;
		}

		private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			

		}

		private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
		  
		}

		private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
// ****NOT WORKING***** want martin to display
	textBox1.Text = myClass.modelName
		}
	}
}

I want to click on button in form and have MARTIN display in textbox.
thank you

you should be getting a build error since you misspelled "model"

          set
          {
              _modeName = "Martin";
          }

also, because of the way you setup the property, you must first "set" the property to a value.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myclass.modelName = "";
    textBox1.Text = myclass.modelName;
}

Thank you for the help- it works now

this is what your class should be if you want a default value.

class ModelName
{
    //declare variables   
    public string _name;
    private string _modelName = "Martin";
    // add constructor and set  _name variable to "enter model brand"
    public ModelName()
    {
        _name = "Enter Model Brand";

    }
    //property called modelName- string type
    public string modelName
    {
        get
        {
            return _modelName;
        }
        set
        {
            _modelName = value;
        }
    }
}

then your button click would only need to be this...

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.Text = myclass.modelName;
}
