Chris, Object.Equals returns a boolean indicating whether or not the objects have the same value (or reference depending on the object).
What you need to do is: x = Convert.ToInt32(txtValue1.Text); And likewise for "y". Change the "ToInt32" to whatever type of values you are expecting to be entered.
