I am trying to create a multiplication table.



This is what I have to create:
Multiplication Table



This is what i currently have:
Current Multiplication Table



My code (for the while button):



private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

int i = 0;
string s = " ";
int m = int.Parse(textBox4.Text);
while (i <= 10)

s = s + "n" + m + " * " + i + " = " + m * i + "n";
i++;

textBox1.Text = s;
label2.Text = "Timetable created with <<while>>";



Obviously the issue is with the String = s - but I just cannot figure it out!

          In Windows you should use rn to move caret to new line. It's stored in Environment.NewLine.
          Change



          s = s + "n" + m + " * " + i + " = " + m * i + "n";


          to



          s = s + "n" + m + " * " + i + " = " + m * i + Environment.NewLine;


          BTW: try to look to ListView control, looks like it's more relevant to your task.

          Since you are appending multiple strings in a loop, you better use StringBuilder:



          var sb = new StringBuilder();
          while (i <= 10)

          sb.Append(m)
          .Append(" * ")
          .Append(i)
          .Append(" = ")
          .AppendLine(m * i); // AppendLine will append the line break for you after the value
          i++;

          textBox1.Text = sb.ToString()


          This has to do with the fact that a string is immutable, and therefor for every append you are actually creating a new string in memory - while a StringBuilder is using an internal buffer (probably an array of chars) to build the string part after part and has a much better performance.

            var sb = new StringBuilder();

            .Append(" * ")
            .Append(i)
            .Append(" = ")
            .AppendLine(m * i); // AppendLine will append the line break for you after the value
            i++;
