Brian:
I am going to echo the recommendations of another post. As a new (and I really cannot refer to myself as a developer, yet) I researched online tutorials and books that would provide a foundation for C#, and VS 2010.

The following books have proven to be valuable resources:
1. Beginning C# Object Oriented Programming by Dan Clark (READ Chapter 5)
2. Visual C# 2010 Recipes by Jones and Freeman
3. HeadFirst C# by Stellman and Greene
4. Programming Language Pragmatics by Scott (buy it and put in on the bookshelf for a goal in understanding). It's beyond new developers, but it's a good feeling to go to the book and "get it" after study.

5. Herding Cats - A Primer for Programmers Who Lead Programmers by Rainwater (this book helps me understand those in the world of programming, as I come from the academic "world").

6. Online tutorials available from Lynda.com

My mentor (who has been programming since God was a child) says "Work on your errors for 2 hours, THEN ask for help".

My greatest hurdle has been in understanding the vocabulary that is used, and I finally had to stop obsessing... It is what it is.

Oh...Petzold's free online book (263 pages)was recommmended to me(Richard?), and is proving to be interesting, but I don't do well with books I cannot markup with pencil notations.

Two other books have been recommended, but they are on my Amazon wish list. Code Complete, and New Programmer's Survival Manual.

Looking at your code (I c/p'd into VS, and messed around with it), I was able to reduce the errors to 3, but then was stumped by my own ignorance...and I am not cheeky enough to make suggestions for changes. So your code helped me learn, so thank you.

Best of luck.
