C# - Adding over 200 labels to a form using arrays

[steini1441]

Hello

What I am trying to is to add over 200 labels to a single form.
I've been messing around with this for a couple of days but I seem to be getting anywhere.

here is what I got so far that actually works :) :

label1 = new Label[243];

Now I just need to add the buttons to the form and set locations etc.

Thank you

Why do you need so much information on a single form? Wouldn't the application flow much better if you break the info required into smaller pieces over multiple pages?

Just a thought.

I am making a ticket booking system for school and I need to be able to show the available and unavailable seats

So why do you need labels? Couldn't you show the available/unavailable seats using a datagrid or gridview? You could show a grid of all available seats, another grid of unavailable seats, or a grid with all seats (available and unavailable).

I ask this question like once a week.


I am going to go ahead just tell you, 200 labels is a bad idea. You performance will be very slow. Plus it looks unprofesional in comparison to some auto-created objects.

Is this for a web or windows application?

Yeah I thought so I just couldn't think of another way to do this.
Think you could give some part of a code to get me started.
thanks

If this is for web, look at the "GridView" object. It supports all kinds of fancy customization, and you can just give it a data source and have it build itself.

If this is a windows application, there is DataGridView, or CheckedListBox (I think).
