Error 1 'ArrayManagementGUI.Form1.displayArray(double[])': not all code paths return a value F:\CSIS115c\ArrayManagementGUI\ArrayManagementGUI\Form1.cs 47 24 ArrayManagementGUI

namespace ArrayManagementGUI

    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        double[] myArray = new double[8];

            myArray[0] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox1.Text);
            myArray[1] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox2.Text);
            myArray[2] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox3.Text);
            myArray[3] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox4.Text);
            myArray[4] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox5.Text);
            myArray[5] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox6.Text);
            myArray[6] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox7.Text);
            myArray[7] = Convert.ToDouble(textBox8.Text);


            label2.Text = "The Sum is {0} {0}\n" + arrayMath(myArray).ToString();
            label2.Text += "" + displayArray(myArray).ToString();

        }

    
        private double arrayMath(double[] myArray)
        {
            double sum = myArray.Sum();
            double avg = myArray.Average();
            return sum;
        }
        private double displayArray(double[] myArray)
        {
            foreach (int i in myArray)

                return displayArray(myArray);
        }
        
    }
}

The return statement on line 51 forms part of the foreach statement on line 49.
Use brases and you'll see it.
What more, you are calling displayArray recursivly. This method would go on forever.
BTW. it is UI not GUI. :angry:

The Program Crashes, How can i prevent it

Try something like this:

private void displayArray(double[] myArray) 
        {
            foreach (double d in myArray)
            {
                MyLabel.Text += d.ToString();
            }
        }
