I’ve been learning some C# and I want to have a grid of labels appear on my screen when I press the button new.
Here’s my code so far:

    private void PlaceLabels(int width, int height)
    {
        int xAs = 50;
        int yAs = 20;
        Label[,] labels = new Label[width, height];
        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                labels[x, y] = new Label();
                labels[x, y].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 50);
                labels[x, y].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(xAs, yAs);
                yAs += 10;
            }
            xAs += 10;
        }
    }

But when I run it, nothing happens.. Can someone tell me if there is an error in my code I've also tried a jagged array of labels, maybe it'd help, but no:

    private void PlaceLabels(int width, int height)
    {
        int xAs = 50;
        int yAs = 20;
        Label[][] labels = new Label[width][];
        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                labels[x] = new Label[height];
                labels[x][y] = new Label();
                labels[x][y].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 50);
                labels[x][y].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(xAs, yAs);
                yAs += 10;
            }
            xAs += 10;
        }
    }

You aren’t actually adding the labels to the form control collection so they won’t be drawn.

    private void PlaceLabels(int width, int height)
    {
        int xAs = 50;
        int yAs = 20;
        Label[,] labels = new Label[width, height];
        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                labels[x, y] = new Label();
                labels[x, y].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 50);
                labels[x, y].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(xAs, yAs);
                this.Controls.Add(labels[x, y]);  // here
                yAs += 10;
            }
            xAs += 10;
        }
    }

Note: If 'this' isn't the context of the form you would need to pass the form instance as a parameter so it knows which form to draw the controls to. Also, you're not adding any label text so the label still won't be visible.
