.NET TextBox - Handling the Enter Key

Question

What is definitively the best way of performing an action based on the user\'s input of the Enter key (Keys.Enter) in a .NET TextBox, assuming owne

Answer 1

Inorder to link the function with the key press event of the textbox add the following code in the designer.cs of the form:

 this.textbox1.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.OnKeyDownHandler);

Now define the function 'OnKeyDownHandler' in the cs file of the same form:

private void OnKeyDownHandler(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{

    if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
    {
       //enter key has been pressed
       // add your code
    }

}
