Cant get label to update label.text

[kaiser]

Hello, Am new to C# and am playing around trying to get a while loop to
display a int on a windows console using label.

private void btnGo_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int Counter = 0;
while ( Counter < 10 )
{
lblMain.Text =Counter.ToString();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
Counter++;
} //WHile

This is the button the starts the loop which is supposed to show the
value of Counter on the label (lblMain) text field....if I run the loop
it runs fine but doesnt change the value of the text field until right
at the end...when it displays a 9. I have included the Sleep command
incase it was running too fast for me to see, but that isnt the
case....

Any clever comments anyone?

Thanks

Sorry - probably didnt make the question clear - why cant I see the
variable Counter counting up from 1 to 9?

Hello kaiser,

Just add one line:
int Counter = 0;
while ( Counter < 10 )
{
label1.Text =Counter.ToString();
Application.DoEvents(); //Refresh(); and Update(); also work. You have
to choose the right one for you.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
Counter++;
}
