I have a button which shows "click me!" on it. I want to see after clicking, it shows "Do not click on me!" permanently.

I get the below error message in buttonname_click() function and I do not know how to resolve it (I have spent so much time on it).

The name 'buttonname' does not exist in the current context

I am attaching Search.xaml and Search.xaml.cs in this question.

  • Don't repost the same question. If you have information to add then edit the original. – paparazzo Jan 31 '14 at 20:05
  • This question appears to be off-topic because it does not show a basic level of understanding of programming. – Ian Ringrose Feb 08 '14 at 10:52
  • Hi lan Ringrose, You have a professional understanding of programming which is very good But I would like to let you know I am doing my masters and I have been programming in the past 9 years. I am new to Silverlight and faced this issue. I do not know if this is a bug or not but it does not work and this is what it is... Thank you very much – Nikh Feb 10 '14 at 20:48

You could try this instead:

    private void buttonname_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
     ((Button)sender).Content = "Do not click on me!";
    }

But, to run your code as is, you need to specify the name with x:Name instead of Name:

<Button x:Name="buttonname" Content="click me!" Click="buttonname_Click" Margin= "0,100,0,0"  Height="93" Width="518"></Button>

<Button x:Name="buttonname" Content="click me!" Click="buttonname_Click" Margin= "0,100,0,0"  Height="93" Width="518"></Button>

private void buttonname_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
     this.buttonname.Content = "Do not click on me!";
    }
