I'm new to C# and have been using c++, I'm trying to take the contents of an array and send them to a textbox.

All I have it doing right now is displaying only the last element in the array I have and I want all of them to show up.

Thanks

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			string[] missingNumbers = txtKnown.Text.Split(' ');

			for (int i = 0; i < missingNumbers.Length; i++)
			{
				txtMissing.Text = missingNumbers[i];
			}

		}

shouldn't you be telling your textbox to be += missingNumbers[i]? The reason it only displays the last element is because your telling the text to equal the last element in the list depending on it's length.

Your actual code is all correct, you will find it handy to of learnt C++ before hand but we all make basic syntax errors. You'll probably be kicking yourself because += is also available in C++ also.

If you want to display each element on a new line of the textbox, you know to put +"\n" after you tell txtmissing to equal missing numbers

The textbox needs to have it's Multiline TextBox.Multiline Property set to true.
Then you can add lines with txtMissing.Text += missingNumbers[i];

for efficiency purposes, you should use a StringBuilder object instead of "+=" on strings.

ex:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	string[] missingNumbers = txtKnown.Text.Split(' ');
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

	for (int i = 0; i < missingNumbers.Length; i++)
	{
		sb.Append(missingNumbers[i]);
	}

	txtMissing.Text = sb.ToString();

}
