hi all

the purpose of this simple codes is to show a text in a text box when i click the button. Both are on in different panel and then placed in one main panel with box layout...

actually, i made it a simple case...
still, the prob still exists...

please help...
i provide you the code. One for panel with button, and one for panel with textbox...
my friend said that nothing wrong with my code but still, it didn't work out...she is as confused as i am...

just don't change the idea of 2 panel, ok?...make it still what it was...
it seems simple, but it didn't work out...if i understand this case, i'm sure i can understand what the bound property is and how to use it...
