# Returning a value from textbox in a class

I have a text box in my [form](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/6/multi-form-mfc-application). I have a [class](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/165/generic-class-in-c-sharp) TicketUser where i have accessors set to return a a [value](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23219/an-optimized-description-adds-value-to-experience-and-in-turn-effectively-guest-posting-packages) in my label. Im [trying](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93698/6-mistakes-couples-are-trying-to-save-money) to get the value from the text box inside the label. I'm trying to get [firstName](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/33973/how-to-split-the-full-name-into-firstname-and-lastname-in-sql-server) to return a value of txtfirstName.Text from my form. Can someone please [guide](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/44463/business-to-business-vat-reclaiming-a-guide-for-your-employees) me in the [right direction](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1002/daily-30-minutes-in-the-right-direction-can-change-the-entire-day-s-mood) please. Im pretty new to [asp.net](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/934/default-folders-available-inside-the-asp-dot-net-application-folder)

```
public class TicketUser{    public string firstName;    public string lastName;    public string username;    TicketForm form = new TicketForm();     //property accessors  public string CreateAccountMessage    {        get        {            return "Congratulations" + firstName + "Your account has been created. Your username is" + username;        }        set        {            CreateAccountMessage = value;        }}    //CreateAccount method    public string CreateAccount()    {        return CreateAccountMessage;    }}}
```

Change this:

public string firstName = "";

public string lastName = "";

public string username = "";

I hope i got you correct because you need to some details about what you are trying to do and what are the results. Make and Object of TicketUser in the code behind file of the form and set

t = new TicketUser();

t.firstName=txtfirstName.Text;

t.lastName=txtlastName.Text;

t.userName=txtUsername.Text;
