How to pass a parameter in wpf C#

Question

I have a code in WindowAfterLogin.xaml:

<TextBlock x:Name="In_Time" Foreground="#FF55534F" FontSize="71.312" FontFamily="HelveticaNeueCyr" Height="79.45" LineStackingStrategy="BlockLineHeight" Canvas.Left="2.724" LineHeight="71.312" TextAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" Canvas.Top="69.985" Width="231.581" Text="09:00" />

And then I want to change the value of that TextBlock in WindowAfterLogin.xaml.cs, so I've done this :

MainWindow objMainWindow = new MainWindow(); WindowAfterLogin objAfterLogin = new WindowAfterLogin(); objMainWindow.Show(); objAfterLogin.In_Time.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString(); this.Close();

But, when I press F5 button (Compile), it didn't change. Where is the problem here?

where should i put that code? because it was error everywhere.. — Oslo Young

@GrantWinney it came from this code: WindowAfterLogin objAfterLogin = new WindowAfterLogin(); — Oslo Young

On what event are you changing the text? Please show us the code for that event. — jomsk1e

Are you creating a separate instance of WindowAfterLogin ? If you want to do that, you will have to Show() the new instance. Try this:

 WindowAfterLogin objAfterLogin = new WindowAfterLogin(); objAfterLoginShow(); objAfterLogin.In_Time.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString(); //Close(); //Close any other window that needs to be closed..

If you wanted the In_Time.Text to change for the current instance, (assuming that has been showed or is visible currrently), you can try this perhaps in the constructor or your method that Initializes the WindowAfterLogin :

In_Time.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString();

As a simplification to bit answer, try to write something like this instead of your code

MainWindow objMainWindow = new MainWindow(); objMainWindow.Show(); In_Time.Text = DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString(); this.Close(); //Not sure if You need it. Try to comment this line to be able to notice textblock text changes

Also I think You need

DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm")

instead of

DateTime.Now.Hour.ToString() + ":" + DateTime.Now.Minute.ToString()
