Very basic help

Question

Hi

Im not a developer. Im trying to increase my understanding of the developers I work with to help us both do our jobs efficiently.

To do this I'm using the Sams Teach yourself C# in 24 hours (which so far has taken a lot longer).

An exercise in Hr 4 is eluding me.

The objective is to create a solution whereby a text box in a form populates with the new width of the form when the form is resized.

Ive created my form and text box and opened the resize event. Ive then input the following code:



namespace Form1_Event
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_SizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            txtSize.Text = "I dont know how to do this";
        }
    }
}


You'll notice ive put in the text "I dont know how to do this" as my previous attempts of "txtSize.Text = Form1.Width" (and other variations of this) have produced the following error:

"An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.Width.get'

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Tim
