Visual C# Help

I'm creating a DLL that will create 4 objects and place them on a form using custom made methods. The logic I've put into this should work, but it's not. I don't understand why. In a blank DLL I need a method called Create(int x, int y) that will assign the location for all 4 objects. The objects are arranged in a 4 square style pattern so simple location math is required. My problem is creating the objects and placing them on the form in the user's project. My pseudo code is:

Code:

// Had to add most of these manually.
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 ClassLibraryExample
{
    public class Class1
    {
        private int x;
        private int y;

        public void Create(int x, int y)
        {
            object1.Location = new Point(x, y);
            object2.Location = new Point(x + 10 + object.Width, y);
            object3.Location = new Point(x + 10 + object.Width, y + 10 + object.Height);
            object4.Location = new Point(x, y + 10 + object.Height);
        }
    }
}

The idea is to make all 4 objects into a single object. Implementation into a forms application would be like:

Code:

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;
using ClassLibraryExample;

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

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Class1.Create(50, 50);
        }
    }
}

That's pretty much all I have to go on. C# and .NET are easy to convert back and forth (except for a few minor classes and methods). Much thanks to whoever helps.

Much thanks

Moved to correct forum.

How the fuck do you expect that to work. You never instantiated the 4 objects, you never instantiated your Class1 (either than or you should have made the method static).

I'm asking for help on that; I've already tried creating new instances of my objects and it didn't work; can you show an example using 4 button controls?

[highlight=VB]
namespace ClassLibraryExample
{
public class Class1
{
public static void Create(int x, int y)
{
Button[] objects = new Button[4];
object[0].Location = new Point(x, y);
object[1].Location = new Point(x + 10 + object[0].Width, y);
object[2].Location = new Point(x + 10 + object[1].Width, y + 10 + object[1].Height);
object[3].Location = new Point(x, y + 10 + object[2].Height);
}
}
}

Eh.

Figured it out, my source was only missing the add method. MUCH THANKS B1ackAnge1!!!!!!!!!

Code:

public void Windmill(Form formToAddWindmillTo, int x, int y)
        {
            Button button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            Button button2 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            Button button3 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            Button button4 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();

            button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y);
            button1.Name = "windmill1";
            button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
            button1.TabIndex = 0;
            button1.Text = "Create New";
            button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(click1);

            button2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x + 10 + button2.Width, y);
            button2.Name = "windmill2";
            button2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
            button2.TabIndex = 0;
            button2.Text = "Create New";
            button2.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            button2.Click += new System.EventHandler(click2);

            button3.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x + 10 + button2.Width, y + 10 + button2.Height);
            button3.Name = "windmill3";
            button3.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
            button3.TabIndex = 0;
            button3.Text = "Create New";
            button3.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            button3.Click += new System.EventHandler(click3);

            button4.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y + 10 + button1.Height);
            button4.Name = "windmill4";
            button4.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
            button4.TabIndex = 0;
            button4.Text = "Create New";
            button4.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            button4.Click += new System.EventHandler(click4);

            formToAddWindmillTo.Controls.Add(button1);
            formToAddWindmillTo.Controls.Add(button2);
            formToAddWindmillTo.Controls.Add(button3);
            formToAddWindmillTo.Controls.Add(button4);
        }
