Newly created label will not show GUI

I am having some issues making my label show up in the gui... any thoughts?

private void addNewExcerciseButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            int y = 305;
            int x= 61;

            string tempExcercise = excerciseTextBox.Text;
            excerciseTextBox.Clear();


           Label[] excerciseLabels = new Label[numExercises];



           for (int i = 0; i < numExercises; ++i)
           {
                excerciseLabels[i] = new Label();
                excerciseLabels[i].Text = ToString("{0}. {1}", i + 1, tempExcercise);;
                excerciseLabels[i].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y);
                x += 10;
                y += 10;


                ++numExercises;
           }
}

thanks in advance.

numExercises is global.

You have to add each new Label to the collection of Controls contained by a visible Control (such as your Form). You're creating and setting them up, but they aren't part of the GUI yet until they're in the control hierarchy.

Add the following line after setting the location of the label:

this.Controls.Add(exerciseLabels[i]);

You need to add the label to the GUI:

this.Controls.Add(excersizeLabels[i]);

As a side note, there is no point in using an array.
