Hi All,

I am trying to write a plugin and I am getting stuck at the skinning stage, I am just trying to write the output of a bit of code run when I press a button and make that display in the skin.

I have initialised the label control:
[CODE][SkinControlAttribute(101)] protected GUILabelControl label_numDownloads = null;[/CODE]

And then in the code that is being run when the button is pressed I have:
[CODE]GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#numDownloads", string.Format("{0}",numOfTorrents));[/CODE]

And finally in my XML I have:
[CODE] <control>
<description>text label</description>
<type>label</type>
<id>101</id>
<posX>60</posX>
<posY>150</posY>
<label>#numDownloads</label>
mediastream9c
<textcolor>ff025984</textcolor>
<visible>true</visible>
</control>[/CODE]

But when I open th plugin in mediaportal I see the button but the text under it is just "#NUMDOWNLOADS" and it never changes even if I press the button. What am I doing wrong?
