How to get info from form control methods.

[Guest]

Hi, I am fiarly new to C#.

I have been trying to test the results of 2 button controls in a form.
A directory is selected with botton1_Click and a filename is selected with
button2_Click.
I want to press botton3 (the "OK" button) and test to make sure that
fileName1 and folderName1 exist or are valid. And then execute the code to
dir.GetFiles and write the filenames to the test file.
Apparently fileName1 and folderName1 are no longer available when button3 is
pressed ( button3_Click does not process the code).

The button_Click declaration is the default of the control so I am not sure
if I need something different than what I post.
I have spent a lot of time searching the archives and tutorials but don't
know enough yet to figure this one out.
Can someone tell me what would be the appropriate way to handle this?
I have looked at Delegates and property methods but need help on this.
Feel free to point out any better ways.

TIA

Again, Sorry for any inconvenience.
For some reason, when I added the botton3 control in the design form, the
this.button3.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button3_Click);
was not automatically added to the InitializeComponent section of code as
the other 2 buttons were.

I added it manually and all works as expected.


Thanks again.
