iam looking to make 2 buttons one connect and one disconnect and i need to show status in label

everything is okay but how can i change label text with buttons


i mean need it green when connected and red when disconnected



and this is the code is there any thing wrong ?


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
label1.Text = "Connected";
label1.Visible = true;
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
label1.Text = "Disconnected";
label1.Visible = true;
}
}
}

First of all, Use CODE tags.
Second, why the "label1.Visible = true;"? It should be always visible.
Third, that code should be working, whats wrong with it?

By the way, learn to rename your controls, it makes everything easier:
Instead of button1 and button2 you could have, btnCon, btnDisc. (btn for button)
Or instead of label1 and label2 you could ahve, lblCon, lblDisc. (lbl for label)
Etc...

For the color, change the foreground color propriety (I think thats it).

My previous post said everything you need to know. Im not spoonfeeding you with code when you just started.

If I understand right you need one button that toggles between connect and disconnect. Your solution to this is to only have one visible at a time.
If this is the case I would advise against it. I am new to C# myself but creativity in coding goes a long way.
Personally I would use the text to trigger and if..
e.g.
if (btnConnection.text = "Connect")
{
btnConnection.text = "Disconnect";
}
else
{
btnConnection.text = "Connect";
}


theres going to be better ways to do it. Like I said I'm new myself... Changing the colour should be easy enough for you to work out.
