    <p>I am making a Windows Forms Tic-Tac-Toe program that has a grid size set by a value in the App.config file. So if the value is 9, the grid is the regular 3 x 3, if its 25, its a 5 x 5 etc.</p> <p>I have a Gameboard class that makes the actual buttons for the array:</p> <pre><code>public Gameboard(int numberofButtons) //Constructor method that is referencing the App.config for the dimensions value to make the board { buttonArray = new Button[numberofButtons]; //creating an array the size of numberofButtons which is the dimensions value from App.config Font font = new Font("Times New Roman", 36.0f); //creates an instance of the Font class int sqrtY = (int) Math.Sqrt(numberofButtons); int z = 0; //Counter for array //Create the buttons for the form for (int x = 0; x &lt; sqrtY; x++) { for (int y = 0; y &lt; sqrtY; y++) { buttonArray[z] = new Button(); buttonArray[z].Font = font; buttonArray[z].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 100); buttonArray[z].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(100*y, 100*x); buttonArray[z].Click += new EventHandler(button_click); z++; } } } </code></pre> <p>If i want to check for win patters in the array by simply checking the value of buttonArray.Text for positions in the buttonArray, how can I iterate through that?</p> <p>for example in a 4x4 grid, the winlines for horizontal wins would be </p> <pre><code>0,1,2,3 4,5,6,7 8,9,10,11 12,13,14,15 </code></pre> <p>so</p> <pre><code>x=0, x&lt;sqrt(dimension), x++ buttonArray[x].Text == "X" &lt;-- to test </code></pre> <p>I realize this is really poorly coded and confusing but I am trying to do this with a single dimension array because that is what the teacher asked for. I want to check the values of <code>buttonArray[]</code> for a value, first checking the rows, then the columns, then the diagonals.</p> <p>The Form has no buttons so when the Form loads it populates it with the buttons used for the grid. It is meant to play against the computer so when you click a button, the .Text becomes "X" and then the computer is supposed to put down an "O" and so on. </p>

    1. COSo, important question I probably should of asked first. Do you need to know how the X/O won or just that X or O won or all the cells are filed/draw. For example, "X Won (Row 1)" or just "X Won". If the first example, what about if the last cell to win made a full row and column, do have you show any/all ways that they won?

    2. COWell, I would ideally like to know WHO won and then change the background color of the winning pattern or make a WinLine appear from the coordinates of the endpoints of the winning line. At least change the .BackColor to something like IndiaRed to highlight the winning buttons that combined to make the winline.

    3. COThat should be the easy part, you have to check if someone won (the more difficult part) after each turn, so whoever's turn it was just won (if the game is a win). You can't play a turn and lose!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
