How to get the values of a textbox?

Question

I created an example for you to see.

The problem is this. I’m trying to get the value contained in TextBox converting to a string type to be able to use in the MessageBox, but he keeps showing off

System.Windows.Forms.Textbox, Text: hi

I wanted to know the correct way to capture the value of the textbox.

Answer 1

The correct property of Textbox is Text to retrieve or define a text in this control:

Reclaim:

string grava = textBox1.Text;

Define:

textBox1.Text = "Novo Texto";

References:

• Textbox class
• Property Textbox.Text

Answer 2

The TextBox is the type Text. So whenever you use one TextBox, Label or ComboBox, in the end you have to put your type, which in this case is .Text

Try it like this:

var gravar = NOMEDATEXTBOX.Text;

MessageBox.Show(gravar, "Test");
