help with clipboard (select all copy and paste)

Question

Hey Experts. Sorry to bother you with another question, but this time I've almost got this one to work with one minor problem: I have a form with a textbox1, a button1, a webbrowser1, and another textbox2. My objective is to have a user input data into textbox1. This data is attached to a url, which querries a slew of text files on our ftp server. Now, I can get the webbrowser within the form to populate with data from the text file without incident. However, in order to populate textbox2 with the same data, the user has to push the botton twice. Now, I know you may be asking why do you want to display the data twice, in a textbox and webbrowser? Well, the webbrowser is hidden on the form (long story there), which is why I would like to have textbox2 populated with the data from our ftp server, and not the webbrowser. Here's what I was able to come up with: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string line; if (comboBox4.Text == "Help Desk") { webBrowser1.Navigate(new Uri(@"ftp://our intranet url/" + textbox1.Text + ".TXT")); webBrowser1.Document.ExecCommand("SelectAll", false, null); webBrowser1.Document.ExecCommand("Copy", false, null); webBrowser1.Document.ExecCommand("Paste", false, null); string Paste = Clipboard.GetText(); textbox2.Text = Paste; } { if (comboBox4.Text == "Config Man") {

hey matthew can you copy your code or email it to me since it seems that you got it to work and only have an object that is not initialized on the first button click. it is highly likable to be that the webbrowser control didnt finish the load and the code is running to update textbox2. do you update the textbox text on the webbrowser loadcomlete event ?

Mr. Bar have a form: with a Textbox for user input (textbox1). The user inputs their data and clicks a button. When the button is clicked the application queries our ftp server for a host of txt files containing arbitrary information. The information is loaded into the webbrowser1 (which is hidden on the form) copied to the clipboard and then pasted into textbox2 on the same form. However upon initialing loading the form and inputting my entry in textbox1 then clicking my button I get the following error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. After hitting continue and pressing the button again the data copies successfully into the textbox2. What I'm trying to do is have the user only hit the button once and have textbox2 populate with the information(from webbrowser1) without error. Sorry for the confusion...hope this clears it up.
