c# - RadioButton.Checked issue -

so having bit of issue piece of code class of mine. know seems rather elementary life of me not sure why can't work.

essentially have 6 radio buttons , depending on 1 selected want assign value int variable. want return value winform else.

but reason returns 0.

some appreciated.

thank in advance..

    int x = 0;      public int selectiondie1()     {         if (die1_1.checked)             x = 1;         if (die1_2.checked)             x = 2;         if (die1_3.checked)             x = 3;         if (die1_4.checked)             x = 4;         if (die1_5.checked)             x = 5;         if (die1_6.checked)             x = 6;         return x;     } 

i add if change void no return value , place label display value of x on buttonclick, still returns 0.

i have tried using 1 radiobutton , see if work, nothing @ all.

when set x = 1000; , return works fine, has radio buttons

thank you

if understand correctly, attempting use variable x in other form. need use direct result of selectiondie1 function.

public int selectiondie1() {     if (die1_1.checked)         return 1;     else if (die1_2.checked)         return 2;     ...      else         throw new exception("there no item checked"); } 

this way there no variable keep track of, or accessed outside location.

the other issue creating form , checking selected item (if comment correct). need first create , show form, give user time choose option, , function call (which might happen on user selection, form close, button press, etc).
