Question
I am supposed to create a hangman game in c#. This is what I have so far. The start button will make the word appear in the text back as *. I am unable to make a letter replace the * in the textbox. How do I do this? Can Some one help fix any mistakes in this code?

Explanation / Answer
using System.Threading.Tasks; does not exist in the name space.
That line needs to be corrected, the rest of the code is fine and it works OK
