cannot convert from string to system.windows.forms.string iwin32window

This is supposed to show the winner in the xWinner form label but I cant figure it out. xWinnerForm.Show(b1.Text);. I'm new to c# so can you please explain in layman terms thanks.

       static public bool CheckWinner(Button[] myControls)
    {
        bool gameOver = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
        {
            int a = Winners[i, 0];
            int b = Winners[i, 1];
            int c = Winners[i, 2];

            Button b1 = myControls[a], b2 = myControls[b], b3 = myControls[c];
            if (b1.Text == "" || b2.Text == "" || b3.Text == "")
                continue;
            if (b1.Text == b2.Text && b2.Text == b3.Text)
            {
               gameOver = true;

                Form xWinnerForm = new xWinnerForm();
                xWinnerForm.Show(b1.Text);


            }


    public void Show(string text)
    {
        this.xWinnerLabel.Text = text;
        this.Show();
    }

        }
        ret开发者_C百科urn gameOver;
    }

This is the smallest change you need to make it work:

xWinnerForm xWinnerForm = new xWinnerForm();

Though I'd suggest a few changes in addition to this:

• Use PascalCase for class names, but do use camel case for the variable name.

XWinnerForm xWinnerForm = new XWinnerForm();

• Don't overload Show in this manner. Instead change the constructor of your form to accept the extra data, or else add a setter to your form.

XWinnerForm xWinnerForm = new XWinnerForm(b1.Text);

• Don't use names like a, b, c, b1:

XWinnerForm xWinnerForm = new XWinnerForm(labelWinner.Text);

---

Currently the variable (xWinnerForm) is typed as Form, and Form has a Show method with a different signature. Instead, tell it which specific type of Form it is - a WinnerForm perhaps (your class name...). Or use a different method name (Show is going to cause confusion).

Form xWinnerForm = new xWinnerForm();

This line is your problem. Because you're declaring your variable as a Form, the compiler does not know about your Show(string) function.

As an aside, it's generally bad form to use a variable name that's the same as its type.

Instead, do something like this:

xWinnerForm winner = new xWinnerForm();

winner.Show(b1.Text);
