What are you stuck on? Do you not know what code it takes to create the group boxes and buttons, do you not know how to get the information from the user, or something else?

exactly I'm stuck on both of them and I've been banging my head on this for a wile but i cant figure how it has to be done

Create a drop down with some numbers in or even use the numeric up down control

Once they have selected a number either fire a selected index changed event or an on click event.

Something along these lines

//Convert the text from the drop down to an int
//do a for loop
Button objButton = new Button();
objButton.Name = //for loop integer here
// Set other button properties here
// Add the button to the appropriate group box
groupBoxName.Controls.Add(objButton);

This isn't a full working piece of code but it's not far off, Just have a tinker with it, Start off by doing it to one group box with a set amount of buttons. Then build from there.
