Hi,

I am new to coding in C#, we were given a simple exercise to write into text field and on press of a button, messagebox pops up with same text.

I have done some coding in java and I made a chat application with a chat window , where I have defined the task of appending into textarea into pressbutton event and called that function from textfield action performed event like this

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
        String msg=jTextField1.getText();
        if(!msg.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
        jTextField1.setText("");
        jTextArea1.append(username+" Says:\n"+msg+"\n\n");
        JScrollBar sbver=jScrollPane1.getVerticalScrollBar();
        sbver.setValue(sbver.getMaximum());
        jTextField1.requestFocus();
        try {
            dos.writeUTF(msg);
            dos.flush();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(ChatHandler.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }}
    }                                        

    private void jTextField1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                            
        jButton1ActionPerformed(evt);
    }               

My question is whether there is any simple way to achieve this in C#, simple way as in without the manipulation of 'textfield.Text' returned string.

Moved to C#. Please don't open help threads in the tutorials sections.

You can use a number of the Key events for a Textbox. For this specific excercise, I would probably use the KeyUp event.

In this event, you can use the KeyEventArgs class to get the key that was pressed.
