Yes, I have already researched this question. I've found this: [How to display remaining textbox characters in a label in C#?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16908006/how-to-display-remaining-textbox-characters-in-a-label-in-c) and many others just like it. That's how I managed to get this following code pieced together:

```
protected void rtdDisclaimer(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lblCharCount.Text = "Characters Remaining:" + (700 - rtbDisclaimer.Text.Length).ToString(); // char count limit set to 700
}

```

I've never coded in c# before, but am working on a group project and that's the language the group lead chose. I'm new to programming and have minimal experience with java. This program is being done in visual studio. I'm trying to make the label show the number of characters remaining depending upon what's typed in the richtextbox. There are no errors, but the label isn't displaying anything at all.
