Hangman Game newbie

[Madmartigan]

Hi

I'm a newbie to C# and have been instructed to create a Hangman game in SharpDevelop. I don't want the answer to the full code, just some help along the way.

I have included my code thus far and at this stage would like to know how I can get the RandomWordManag er, which I found on another site, to display a newly generated word as the textBox1 text when the user enters a new game.

I have enclosed tags around the two forms I have created(one for launch and another for entry into a new game) and then lastly the RandomWordManag er class for creating random words for the hangman game.

I'm really not sure if this is on track so far but my idea is to have the correct guesses made by the user in textBox2 replace the special characters in textBox1 if they're correct. Can someone please give me some idea whether this is possible and how to get the RandomWordManag er to occupy the textBox1 text on entry into the game?

Thanks a mil.
