I am working with Pythonnet to create a C# GUI that uses backend Python code. I am just learning how the connection works and need to get a Python variable into C# and display it in a C# text box. How can I get the value computed for 'outer' in Python and display it in the textBox1? It works fine when sending the output to a console but I need it in the text box.
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Runtime.PythonDLL = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python312-32\python312.dll";
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//THIS WORKS NOW!!
PyModule scope;
PythonEngine.Initialize();
using (Py.GIL())
{
scope = Py.CreateScope();
//scope.Exec("print('Hello World from Python!')");
dynamic np = Py.Import("numpy");
dynamic outer=(np.cos(np.pi * 2));
//This is the part that does not work.
//It says can't convert a PyObject to a string.
textBox1.Text = outer
//Console.WriteLine("Press enter to close...");
//Console.ReadLine();
}
