How to create magic square like this picture in C# windows form?

I already have a code in console program for this question but I dont know how to put it in Windows Form like picture. Also, show steps how to create like picture

This is my code:

static void Main(string[] args)

{

bool correctInput = false;

int n = 0;

while (!correctInput)

{

Console.WriteLine(\"Input an odd number:\");

string input = Console.ReadLine();

if (!int.TryParse(input, out n))

{

Console.WriteLine(\"This is not a number \'\" + input + \"\'!\ Press any key to retry\");

Console.ReadLine();

}

else if (Convert.ToInt16(input) % 2 == 0)

{

Console.WriteLine(\"This is not an odd number \'\" + input + \"\'!\ Press any key to retry\");

Console.ReadLine();

}

else

{

n = Convert.ToInt16(input);

correctInput = true;

}

}

int nSquare = n * n;

int y = 0;

int x = (n / 2);

int[,] magicSquare = new int[n, n];

for (int a = 1; a <= nSquare; ++a)

{

magicSquare[y, x] = a;

y--;

x++;

if (a % n == 0)

{

y += 2;

x -= 1;

}

else

{

x = (x + n) % n;

y = (y + n) % n;

}

}

for (int a = 0; a < n; a++)

{

for (int b = 0; b < n; b++)

{

Console.Write(Convert.ToString(magicSquare[a, b]).PadLeft((Convert.ToString(nSquare).Length), \' \') + \" \");

}

Console.WriteLine(\"\");

}

}

Solution

Include this method in your program and call this program with size of magic squuare box you needed....

public void generateMagicSquare(int boxSize)
{
//refreshing form to erase previous data
foreach (Control tempItem in this.Controls)
{
this.Controls.Remove(tempItem);
tempItem.Dispose();
}

//creatting Table layout magicSquarePanel
var magicSquarePanel = new TableLayoutPanel();
magicSquarePanel.RowCount = boxSize;
magicSquarePanel.ColumnCount = boxSize;
magicSquarePanel.BackColor = Color.Black;

//generate rows and columns in panel
for (int i = 0; i < boxSize; i++)
{
var percentage = 100f / (float)boxSize;
magicSquarePanel.ColumnStyles.Add(new ColumnStyle(SizeType.Percent, percentage));
magicSquarePanel.RowStyles.Add(new RowStyle(SizeType.Percent, percentage));
}

// adding each buttons with our values
for (var i = 0; i < boxSize; i++)
{
for (var j = 0; j < boxSize; j++)
{
var myButton = new Button();
myButton.BackColor = Color.Lime;
myButton.Font = new Font(myButton.Font.FontFamily, 20, FontStyle.Bold);
myButton.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;

// adding button text
myButton.Text = string.Format(\"{0}\", (i) * boxSize + j + 1);
myButton.Name = string.Format(\"Button{0}\", myButton.Text);
myButton.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

//if interaction need
myButton.Click += b_Click;
magicSquarePanel.Controls.Add(myButton, j, i);
}
}
magicSquarePanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(magicSquarePanel);
}
