Help with GUI in C#
 

So basically I've made a C# client application that can run in the console. I am trying to add a GUI to it. I have 2 applications, one a console application that holds my logic called ClientApp and a windows form containing the GUI called ClientApp. Rather than post the logic and base could into the windows form class I have tried to rather make them work together (which I am told is the way to go). I have got method that takes the TCP address the person wishes to connect to in my forms class.

public void serverString_TextChanged_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string TCPaddress = serverString.Text;
}

Simply takes the text entered by the user and puts it in a string called TCPaddress. My problem is I am trying to get this information into my actual ClientApp application that connects to the client. I've made a reference to my Client Form called:

ClientForm clientform = new ClientForm();

In my class thats holds the base and logic called ClientApp, the protocol to connect looks like this:

client.Connect("www.amazon.co.uk", 43); The first being the site, second being the port.

but I am trying to feed in what the user has said entered in the textbox from my ClientForm into the clientApp in the area with "amazon.co.uk" by doing something such as:

client.Connect(clientform.serverString_TextChanged_1(TCPaddress)

but it doesnt work!!! :mad: I tried to make a get method that would return TCP address but obviously TCP address is only within the scope of that method. Help!!! Been stuck for 4-5 hours!

first of all use code tags when posting, second could you please post all of your code.

So when does client.Connect() get called? You might want to put that inside the onClick event handler of your button.

To get the text entered in a TextBox, just use TextBoxName.Text - it's a lot simpler than you think.
