C# virgin

Question

I just got a c# compiler for no reason and want to start doing something. I have a very simple program that I made in vb that I want to write it in c#. The program is a picture box with a image inside. The picturebox just bounces around the screen and when you click on the image, it plays a sound. Basically I want to do the same thing in C#, except I keep getting: " The type or namespace name 'picturebox1' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System.Windows.Forms' (are you missing an assembly reference?)" I know a little c++ to know that I need a class function to access the picturebox properties. But I don't get the c# code that I have. Hopefully with time and a few good books I can be a little more proficient with c#.

wow thanks. That is exacly what I was looking for. What caused me trouble is in vb you use With / End with and I couldn't think of a way to do it in c#. But it's so simple. Thanks again

If you want your pictureBox1 to move you could use a timer like such: 1) Create a Timer and name it tMove 2) Create two int variables named xPos and yPos and set the xPos to pictureBox1.Left  and yPos to pictureBox.Top 3) Create a string named horDirection and set it's value to positive 4) Create a string named vertDirection and set it's value to positive 5) in your timer tick event add something like the following: private void tMove_Tick(object sender System.EventArgs e) { //the following checks for which way the pictureBox1 should travel if(pictureBox1.Right >= this.Width) { horDirection = negative; } if(pictureBox1.Left = this.Height) { vertDirection = negative; } if(pictureBox1.Top 6) Lastly you need to remember to Enable your timer and you can set it's Interval amount to whatever you want. Does this help?

Yes I got .net architect from a friend's dad who is a programmer. I did drag and drop but I want my picture box to move. And when I finally got it how to set it's location it doesn't work. I created a new instance of picturebox not sure if that soved the problem because I remembered that c# is case sensetive. And After I made a new instance and corrected the case it ran but doesn't go to the location I want it to go. code: pictureBox1.location = new point(100100);

which compiler did you get? if you got vs.net then just make a windows app drag a picture box and it will do all the coding for you
