and you can see this code:

Code:

Private void button_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

This is stub code for the button object. Now add the following line of code
between the two parentheses of the stub code:

Code:

frmMain.ActiveForm.Text = textBox1.Text;

Following these instructions VS confronts me with the dreaded red squiggly
lines and the following error messages hovering the cursor over the code underlined with the squiggly red line:
1.

Code:

frmMain.

Quote:

") expected

2.

Code:

ActiveForm.Text

Quote:

'System.Windows>Forms.Form.ActiveForm' is a 'property' but is used like a 'type'

3. =

Quote:

Invalid token '=' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

4. Text

Quote:

The type name 'Text' does not exist in the type 'Chapter02Program01.textBox'

Being a complete novice at programming and seriously wanting to become one
I'll appreciate any help with this.
Of the books that I've read this one and "Beginning C For Arduino" also by
Dr Purdum are by far the most instructive.

Thanks.
