How to make button display number on the label that is already on another label

Question

If you go in to my project
Then what I am trying to do is every time I click Raise button it should display the result from anteLabel on the raiseLabel and If I click raiseButton again it should display the result from previous two labels on the third label called raise2Label.

As it's past midnight here, I'm going to pack up now but, if I'm right about an addition being required, then the code will be: int i, j; int.TryParse(anteLabel.Text, out i); int.TryParse(raiseLabel.Text, out j); raise2Label.Text = (i + j).ToString(); If the first two labels don't contain anything, i and j will both be set to zero when int.TryParse is used.

You need to have a way of determining whether there's already been a raise or not. Suppose you include this private field in the form: private bool hasRaised = false; You could then code the raiseButton Click eventhandler as follows: private raiseButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (!hasRaised) { if (anteLabel.Text == "") return; // no ante chosen yet raiseLabel.Text = anteLabel.Text; hasRaised = true; } else { raise2Label.Text = anteLabel.Text; hasRaised = false; // ready for next deal } } When I said last night that I was packing up, I meant I was getting ready for bed :)

that worked vulpes! Yes, the labels are underneath the button :P. no the numbers don't need to add up. I am trying to make my project look like this game http://www.freepoker.com/free-let-em-ride-poker And as you can see when you click Raise it adds the chip to the raise location, and if click it again it adds the chip to the third chip location(2nd raise); This is what I added int.TryParse(anteLabel.Text, out firstBet); raiseLabel.Text = firstBet.ToString(); int.TryParse(raiseLabel.Text, out secondBet); raise2Label.Text = secondBet.ToString(); But now I encountered a problem, after I click Raise button it displays the output on both labels, when I need to click Raise button each time I want it to display the bet on each label ( raiseLabel, raise2Label) just like in game above. How would I do that? Also are you leaving somewhere?

When you say the result from the previous two labels, do you mean their sum after converting them to integers? Also what do you want to happen if the Raise button is clicked a third time etc. ? Incidentally, there appears to be something wrong with the labels as they are not displaying - possibly they're underneath a button.
