Design an algorithm for guessing a card number

I am making a card guessing game.there are 100 cards place in 10rows and 10 columns each card with a number and user have to find a number he is thinking of. i want to devise an algorithm to determine whether a given number is written on one of the cards by turning up less than 20 cards.I hav created the buttons dynamically, now im having hard time making a logic to search through them.This is my code.
namespace WindowsFormsApplication3
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
int rememberlast = 0, move = 0;
object savelastobject;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int sizee = 50, where = 0;
this.Height = 0;
this.Width = 0;
var generatedNum = new List<int>();
var random = new Random();
while (generatedNum.Count < 100)
{
var tempo = random.Next(0, 100);
if (generatedNum.Contains(tempo)) continue;
generatedNum.Add(tempo);
}
char[] text2 = text.ToCharArray();
for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < 10; y++)
{
Button ta = new Button();
ta.Name = x.ToString()+y.ToString();
ta.Width = sizee;
ta.Height = sizee;
ta.Tag = generatedNum[where];
where++;
ta.BackColor = Color.Red;
ta.Location = new Point(70 * y, 70 * x);
Controls.Add(ta);
ta.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button_Click);
this.Width += 90 * x / 13;
this.Height += 90 * x / 8;
}
}
}
private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Control me = (Control)sender;
rememberlast = int.Parse(me.Tag.ToString());
savelastobject = me;
me.Text = me.Tag.ToString();
me.Enabled = true;
me.BackColor = Color.Gray;
move++;
label2.Text = move.ToString();

Thread.Sleep(1000);
if (move == 20)
{

Application.Restart();
}
if (me.Tag.ToString() == textBox1.Text)

has anyone had a problem like this before please explain how fixed.

Such problems might occur if your Project's Target-Framework and your referenced assembly framework version are incompatible.
So as I may presume, you should take the following steps:
Right-Click on your Project -> Properties -> Target Framework -> Make Sure it is not set on Client Profile and if it does than choose .NET Framework 4 or 4.5 (according to the referenced-assembly targeted FW).
Update: Here is a snapshot of the settings

Head First C# Lab1 A Day at the Races called method not executing

I have a problem with the greyhound application that I have created. when I use the radio button to select who is placing a bet (Say Bob) and put his bet amount to 10 on dog number 4, (see image #1) when I click Bets, to update the 'Bob hasnt placed any bets' label with the description() method I get an error (see image #2)
What should happen is where it says "bob hasnt placed any bets" it should now read "bob bets 10 bucks on dog # 4. I have established this is failing due to the bettor returning NULL, but I cannot work out why this is when Bettor is referencing the Guy class which contains the bettor's name.
On a side notem when the race finishes and if Bob wins, he is note getting paid so either the PayOut() or Collect() methods are not working either.
Below are my 3 classes and my Form1.cs

//2. Update the position of my PictureBox on the form
Point p = MyPictureBox.Location; // current location of the picture of the greyhound

private System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown numericUpDownBet;
private System.Windows.Forms.Label label1;
private System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown numericUpDownDog;
private System.Windows.Forms.Button ResetButton;
}
}

in PlaceBet method you have forgotten to set the Bettor property:
if (Cash >= Amount)
{
Cash = Cash - Amount;
MyLabel = new Label();
MyBet.Amount = Amount; // HERE
MyBet.Dog = Dog; // HERE
UpdateLabels();
return true;
just add there also a line:
MyBet.Bettor = this;
Explanation/rationale: The point is that without it, when a "Guy" creates a "Bet", the Bet does not get to know who has created it. Nowhere in your code you set the Bettor field, so it never has a chance to be set to something meaningful. The bet will simply retain the default NULL value in this field. As I do not actually read/trace all the code, I think the simpliest way would be to make the Bet know his owner straight from the very beginning.

In Guy.cs when you call PlaceBet(...) and create instantiate the bet, you need to set:
this.MyBet.Bettor = this;
Within this function, this refers to the instance of Guy that is placing the bet.
The second problem you have is with the creation of a new instance of Label, without actually replacing the Label on your form with the new one. In summary fix the PlaceBet(...) method like so:
public bool PlaceBet(int Amount, int Dog)
{
this.MyBet = new Bet();
if (Cash >= Amount)
{
Cash = Cash - Amount;
// remove the following line
// MyLabel = new Label();
MyBet.Amount = Amount;
MyBet.Dog = Dog;
// insert this line...
MyBet.Bettor = this;
UpdateLabels();
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

I just performed this exercise myself in the book... been running through it. I looked over your code to see how you took care of this problem and I found a pretty big bug in how you handled paying out the betters - In form1.cs when you allow your loop to capture multiple winners you are not continuing to distribute winnings with the Collect method to anyone who bet on anything besides the last winning dog
while (num_winners == 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < Dogs.Length; i++)
{
if (Dogs[i].Run())
{
num_winners++;
winner = i + 1;
}
}
Application.DoEvents();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3);
}
if (num_winners > 1)
// you say that you have multiple winners right here but you never eval on
//it - winner is still set to one value above
MessageBox.Show("We have " + num_winners + " winners");
else
MessageBox.Show(" Dog #" + winner + "wins!");
for (int i = 0; i < Dogs.Length; i++)
{
Dogs[i].TakeStartingPosition();
}
for (int i = 0; i < Bettors.Length; i ++)
{
Bettors[i].Collect(winner);
Bettors[i].ClearBet();
Bettors[i].UpdateLabels();
}
What will need to be changed to correct this and disperse bets appropriately:
1) Make the betting scheme more realistic - when the bet is placed - subtract the money. You need to allow for a Re-Bet to take place just in case someone wants to redo one of the users on the front page
in guy.cs
public bool PlaceBet(int amount, int dog)
{
// place a new bet and store it in the bet field, return true if there is enough money
if (amount > Cash)
{
MessageBox.Show("I don't have enough money for that bet!", Name + " says...");
return false;
}
else
{
if (this.MyBet == null)
{
this.MyBet = new Bet() { Amount = amount, Bettor = this, Dog = dog };
this.Cash -= amount;
this.UpdateLabels();
return true;
}
else
{
this.Cash += this.MyBet.Amount;
this.MyBet = null;
this.MyBet = new Bet() { Amount = amount, Bettor = this, Dog = dog };
this.Cash -= amount;
this.UpdateLabels();
return true;
}
}
}
2) Now that the betters already lost/submitted their money and we don't have to worry about sending negative monies to them if their dog doesn't win, the Bet.cs Payout method can be updated to only provide a positive return if the winning dog matches their bet dog. if it doesn't, it returns nothing.
public int PayOut(int Winner)
{
// the parameter is the winner of the race. If the dog won, return the amount bet.
// otherwise return nothing
if (Winner == Dog)
{
int payout = Amount*2;
return payout;
}
else
{
int payout = 0;
return payout;
}
}
3) and now we can adjust our scheme in form1.cs to take care of paying multiples (even though this never really happens)
private void formButtonRace_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int winner = 0;
int windog = 0;
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < Bettors.Length; i++)
{
if (Bettors[1].MyBet != null)
{
count++;
}
}
if (count == Bettors.Length)
{
while (winner == 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < Dogs.Length; i++)
{
if (Dogs[i].Run())
{
winner++;
windog = i + 1;
for (int i2 = 0; i2 < Bettors.Length; i2++)
{
Bettors[i2].Collect(i + 1);
}
}
Application.DoEvents();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3);
}
}
if (winner > 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Multiple winners!", "WOW");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("The winner was dog #" + windog);
}
for (int i = 0; i < Bettors.Length; i++)
{
Bettors[i].ClearBet(true);
}
for (int i = 0; i < Dogs.Length; i++)
{
Dogs[i].TakeStartingPosition();
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Not all players have placed their bets!", "Wait wait!");
}
}
The reason why my ClearBet is passing in a bool is because I had to restore the money bet to each individual Guy if the reset button was pressed. However, if the race was completed I wanted to reset them without returning their bets.
This is that section for me in my code:
public void ClearBet(bool isRaceOver)
{
if (isRaceOver)
// reset bet when race is over
{
MyBet = null;
}
else
{
if (this.MyBet != null)
{
Cash += this.MyBet.Amount;
this.MyBet = null;
}
else
{
this.MyBet = null;
}
}
UpdateLabels();
}

In the PlaceBet() method, you are overwriting MyLabel with a new Label() therefore the original context of the label on the form is lost.
Although you are actually updating a Label, it's not the Label on the form.
public bool PlaceBet(int Amount, int Dog)
{
this.MyBet = new Bet();
if (Cash >= Amount)
{
Cash = Cash - Amount;
MyLabel = new Label(); // remove this
MyBet.Amount = Amount;
MyBet.Dog = Dog;
UpdateLabels();
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Require help in C# Need to implement moving picture box

I need a help on this,
There are 3 picture boxes, red should grow its Width to left, green should grow its height to top blue's width to right
also if one reaches the top border / any text boxes it should give an error / stop execution
I need to add more picture boxes in future and if two of them collides it should give an error / stop execution. I have managed to code them to go up, however unable to get other functions working. Please some one help me with this.
