Hey guys!

I'd like to write in a textbox a string and then give it a a value like "2". (Case 2:)
After this, I'd like to press a button and after a random script get one of the sentences i wrote. How can I achieve this?

Something like:
x=0

If button is clicked:
new case?!
new random(1,x)

Switch (x)
case 1:

case 2:

I am a newbie at this.. If I can help you to further understand my thought I'll do my best... Thanks :)

So it *seems* you want:
repeat {input a string and associate it with a (unique?)number} some number of times.
on button click:
pick one of the previously input strings at random and display it

Is that your problem?

Exactly! How can I do that?

There is no scripting here. C# is not a scripting language, .NET is not a scripting platform...

I just want to create a string, give it an int value and then randomly generate an int value and use it to get the string.
And another thing i needed to do would be to somehow save the generated strings after closing the program...

How is this "I just want" related to the issue? First of all, this is not scripting, everything else goes next. :-)

Solution 1

You can use a dictionary to associate ints with strings. Then you can look them up from there. So make the int the key, store the string, keep track of the ints you created, and look them up. A dictionary is perhaps a slightly complex container to learn about at this stage, but that's how you'd do it

In C# you have set of Collection classes where you can store and retrieve data using a key or index.

refer these links to know more about Collection classes.

Define any of the collection class in your application to deal with the strings when the application is running.

to restore the strings for later use you must save the file before closing the application and read the file while loading your application. check this for working on .txt files.
