C# Put string into TextBox

Question

I want to show the results of this code in my TextBox:

       string txtout1 = txtOrgText.Text.Replace(parm, txtTo.Text).ToString();
       txtout = txtout1;         


        

Answer 1

txtOut.Text = txtout1;

Answer 2

First of all txtout = txtout1; will not serve as txtout is a textbox and txtout1 is a string .You should use

txtout.Text = txtout1

ie .Text property of textbox says Gets or Sets the current text in System.Windows.Forms.TextBox and its type is string as your txtout1 is already a string there is no need to convert it again by using .ToString()

Answer 3

What you need to do is:

 txtout.Text = txtout1;

This is because txtout1 is just a string of characters, while txtout is a full TextBox, with all the drawing and colouring and stuff like that.

I see that you were on the right lines with your first line of code - txtOrgText.Text - the .Text is used both ways - for reading and writing. (Or "looking" and "changing" is another way of putting it.)

You do this with a lot of other controls - a ComboBox, a Form (to set the caption), a DomainUpDown (the thing with the arrows on the right) to name a few.

The reason that "ToString()" doesn't work is that ToString() is making your string of text into a string of text! It doesn't turn it into a TextBox for you.
