what is a more simple way to do this if statement

Question

if (newgame == false && button1.Text !=""&& button2.Text != ""&&button3.Text !=""&&button4.Text !=""&&button5.Text != ""&&button6.Text !=""&&button7.Text !=""&&button8.Text!=""&&button9.Text !="")
            {
               
            }

Answer 1

The code you have is fairly straightforward.

If you stored your button references in a list, you could simplify it:

// Define this somewhere - it could be once in your constructor
List<Button> buttons = new List<Button> { button1, button2, button3, button4, button5, button6, button7, button8, button9 };

// Given the above, your if becomes:

if (newgame == false && buttons.All(b => b.Text != ""))
{
}

This is really only useful if you're doing multiple checks like this, though...
