Question

When i type the value in one text box automatically it should calculate and display in another textbox

Vulpes · Answer

You'll need to have some way of deciding whether the number selected in the ComboBox should go in the first or the second TextBox. Try this: private bool useSecond = false; private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (comboBox1.SelectedIndex == -1) return; string selected = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(); if (!useSecond) { textBox1.Text = selected; textBox2.Text = ""; textBox3.Text = ""; } else { int number1 = int.Parse(textBox1.Text); int number2 = int.Parse(selected); textBox2.Text = number2.ToString(); textBox3.Text = (number1 * number2).ToString(); } useSecond = !useSecond; }

how to make when i select two different number from combobox and this will be displayed in two different textbox, once it displayed both number should get multiplied and should display in third textbox

Vulpes · Answer

In that case you don't need to handle any textbox events at all - you can do everything in the comboBox's SelectedIndexChanged eventhandler and the code is simpler because you know that the selected item will be an integer: private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (comboBox1.SelectedIndex > -1) { int i = int.Parse(comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()); textBox1.Text = i.ToString(); int j = i * 2; // or whatever textBox2.Text = j.ToString(); } }

Hi Rashmi, Another way private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { decimal a, b; a = Convert.ToDecimal(textBox1.Text); b = a * 2; textBox2.Text = b.ToString(); } Thanks

Assuming you want to do the calculation after the whole value has been entered in the first textbox (rather than as each character is entered), then I'd handle its Leave event on the following lines: private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e) { double d; bool isValid = double.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out d); if (!isValid) { MessageBox.Show("Not a valid number. Please amend"); textBox1.Focus(); return; } d = 2 * d; // or any other calculation textBox2.Text = d.ToString(); }
