I wanna ask you that how can I display the value of a defined char in text box or anywhere else in windows form application,,net 3.0 frame work?
just like;

private: System::Void textBox1_TextChanged(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e)
         {
             int i=35;
             textBox1->Text = i.ToString();
         }

just like in above example, it displays the value of integer, just like that i want to assign a char and display its value in textbox.
like;

 {
                    char a[10]="David";
                    textbox1->=Text=a;
}

This coding must be wrong, but I hope u understand my meaning, I want to display the value of char 'a' in text box.
Please help me out. I am a beginner and needs your help.

i m still not getting it right!!!
{
char a[10]="David";
TextBox1->Text = a[10] + String::Empty;
}
i tried this... but this displays a numeric value in textbox.... i want to display the full name in text box... plz plz help me.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Feb-11 3:53am

Full name will be Text = name (!!!). But not a[10], see my code, not the code in your comment above!

Updated, based on your clarification.
Read about Control class and string class!

string^ a;
textbox1->Text = a;

sabih toor 7-Feb-11 11:55am

it can just display a one name....but i want to create a structure and then an array of characters in struct....after this i want to display all the different names in text box.... how can i do this???
like;
struct team
{
int score[10];
char *name[10];
}pak,ind,aus;
then assign values to these....!
then in button event;
richtextbox1->Text=pak.score[1].Tostring();
this command displays the values of integers but similarly i want to display the characters...algorithm is like;
just a wrong code to understand;
richtextbox1->Text=pak.name[0];
Help!!! Help me plz... i m short of tym now

This is not C++, this is C++/CLI, so forget all your pointers. All is done in .NET "ref" classes like System::String.

Clarification: all I see in your code is C++/CLI. Setting aside mixed native (unmanaged) and native code, the rule of thumb is: you forget about "*" (except multiplication) and "&". Instead, use "^" and "%", and you'll be fine. I cannot understand your new question (because of this "*name[10]" gibberish), but you can do all by yourself.

Solution 2

.text property takes string value and not an array.
You should rather do it like:

Textbox1.text = new string(a);
