Simple program not working

Im making a program. You type your name in the first textbox, hit the button that says Ok, and then if the first textbox has any text in it..it outputs "Your name sucks!!" to a other "non editable" text box below the button, or "Type your name fool!!" if the first textbox has no text in it.

I cant get it to work, I will post the error after the codeing.

Code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;

namespace WindowsApplication3
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for Form1.
	/// </summary>
	public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
	{
		private System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;
		private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox name1;
		private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox output;
		/// <summary>
		/// Required designer variable.
		/// </summary>
		private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

		public Form1()
		{
			//
			// Required for Windows Form Designer support
			//
			InitializeComponent();

			//
			// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
			//
		}

		/// <summary>

		/// </summary>
		protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
		{
			if( disposing )
			{
				if (components != null) 
				{
					components.Dispose();
				}
			}
			base.Dispose( disposing );
		}

		#region Windows Form Designer generated code
		/// <summary>
		/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
		/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
		/// </summary>
		private void InitializeComponent()
		{
			this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
			this.name1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
			this.output = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
			this.SuspendLayout();
			// 
			// button1
			// 
			this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(112, 104);
			this.button1.Name = "button1";
			this.button1.TabIndex = 0;
			this.button1.Text = "Ok";
			this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
			// 
			// name1
			// 
			this.name1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(72, 32);
			this.name1.Name = "name1";
			this.name1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(160, 20);
			this.name1.TabIndex = 1;
			this.name1.Text = "Replace with your NAME!";
			// 
			// output
			// 
			this.output.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(56, 200);
			this.output.Name = "output";
			this.output.ReadOnly = true;
			this.output.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(192, 20);
			this.output.TabIndex = 2;
			this.output.Text = "";
			// 
			// Form1
			// 
			this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
			this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 266);
			this.Controls.Add(this.output);
			this.Controls.Add(this.name1);
			this.Controls.Add(this.button1);
			this.Name = "Form1";
			this.Text = "Form1";
			this.ResumeLayout(false);

		}
		#endregion

		/// <summary>
		/// The main entry point for the application.
		/// </summary>
		[STAThread]
		static void Main() 
		{
			Application.Run(new Form1());
		}

		private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			if(name1.Text > 1)
			{
				output.Text = "Your name sucks!"; 
			} 
			else 
			{
				output.Text = "Enter a name you fool.";
			}					 

		}


	}
}

Heres what the compiler gives as the error:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Ryan Sands\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\WindowsApplication3\Form1.cs(112): Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'int'

What's happening here is you are comparing the text (a bunch of letters) against a number (the number 1). That doesn't make sense. What you actually want to do is compare the length of the text with 1, like this:

if (name1.Text.Length > 1)

Hope that helps.
