Hi, I'm wanting to pass a value from one method into another then to change the variable. I have:

public int getPosition()

        {

            return position += value;

        }


        public void resetPosition()

        {

            

            if (getPosition()>20)


            {

                position = 0;

state++


                

            }

        }


        public void btnRoll_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            value = diceRoll.Throw();


            lblValue.Text = Convert.ToString(value);

            lblPosition.Text = Convert.ToString(getPosition());

            lblstate.Text = Convert.ToString(state);


        }

So basically I want it so when the value is equal to or greater than 20, to set the position to 0 and increment the state variable. then output them into a label.

Will this work?(I haven't tested it

public int getPosition()
        {
            return position += value;
        }

        public void resetPosition()
        {
            int pos = getPosition();
            if (pos>20)

            {
                position = 0;
state++

                
            }
        }

        public void btnRoll_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            value = diceRoll.Throw();
            int strPos = getPosition();
            lblValue.Text = Convert.ToString(value);
            lblPosition.Text = Convert.ToString(strPos);
            lblstate.Text = Convert.ToString(state);

        }

Or are you have some other problem?

[Alex_j]

Nope, that's still not working, it's not changing the position value back to 0 or incrementing the state

Of course not you never call the reset method try this:

public int getPosition()
        {
            return position += value;
        }

        public void resetPosition()
        {
            int pos = getPosition();
            if (pos>20)

            {
                position = 0;
state++

                
            }
        }

        public void btnRoll_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            [COLOR=Red]resetPosition();[/COLOR]
            value = diceRoll.Throw();
            int strPos = getPosition();
            lblValue.Text = Convert.ToString(value);
            lblPosition.Text = Convert.ToString(strPos);
            lblstate.Text = Convert.ToString(state);

        }

Works great Thanks a lot. Another question I have a form sort of like a main menu which takes the users name how can I take that value and pass it into my second form?

OK you can do this:

//Form 1
 public static string UserName = ""; //Put this with your other vaiables at the top.

//This goes in the button click to goto form2 in form1
 UserName = textBox1.Text;
            Form2 form = new Form2();
            form.ShowDialog();

//Form2
label1.Text = Form1.UserName;// add this in form2_load or where ever needed

That should do it. :)
