Simple question: button click to call additional method

Question

A starter story here: I want a button click to call my method (located in the same class). I created button using IDE, created a button1_click event and a Method (DrawString) to be called. However, the method is not called- I feel really stupid, but I can't find the solutions...

public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Form1 f1 = new Form1();

f1.DrawString();

}

All the rest is as generated by the IDE.

The button click works fine, but it does not call DrawString () method.

Hai... You don't have to create an object for methods inside the same class....Just call DrawString()..it would work fine... I also want u to check whether the method is inside the same class as told by u.... With Regards P.Krishna Prasad

Actually to draw a string you'd have add a method to the Paint event. DrawString is a member of Graphics class. You have a Windows Form right? Add this lambda expression to your button-click method this.Paint += (object o PaintEventArgs e) => { e.Graphics.DrawString(/*...*/); e.Graphics.Draw... ... };
