To persist a value between different runnings of your application you'll need to save it to disk. You could either use a simple text file for this or you could use a 'user setting'. For the former the code would be something like this: string filePath = Application.StartupPath + \mysetting.txt; // save value to file System.IO.WriteAllText(filePath label1.Text); // read it back if (System.IO.File.Exists(filePath)) { label1.Text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(filePath); } else { label1.Text = 0'; // or whatever } Check this link for the latter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397750(v=vs.110).aspx
