How do I: remove/replace redundant code

Question

Hello:

I have many forms that have the same code that I would like to put in one place and access it from all the forms. An example of the code is listed below:

public void textBox_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
((TextBox)sender).BackColor = Color.Ivory;
toolStripStatusLabelHint.Text = "Hint: " + ((TextBox)sender).Name;
//... and more code here
}

How can I put this in one place and then have a one line code to have it include the statements?

Also I have this code that I would need to put in one place.
InitializeComponent();
//------------------------------------------------------------
string d = "";
string e = "";
Control c = GetNextControl(null, true);
while (c != null)
{
if (c.GetType().Name == "TextBox")
{
c.Enter += new EventHandler(textBox_Enter);
c.Leave += new EventHandler(textBox_Leave);
}
c = GetNextControl(c, true);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------
.....

I think you can use an inherited form as you are already doing as described by Nainil in How do I: Mass produce forms with same objects on it. .

Thanks all: Sam: I guess for now I will go thr Inherited form way. Hirendra: I tried your way and I can use this method for some other things. But it did not help for this issue because I can not put the routine that changes the toolStripStatusHint.Text. Thanks anyways.

you can take a new public static class and put your code like this: public static void TExtbox_EnterEvent( object txtbox_Obj) { System.Windows.Forms. TextBox txtbox = (System.Windows.Forms. TextBox )txtbox_Obj; txtbox.BackColor = System.Drawing. Color .Ivory; //toolStripStatusLabelHint.Text = Hint:  + txtbox.Name; //... and more code here } and access this on any form like : private void textBox1_TextChanged( object sender EventArgs e) { Class1 .Textbox_EnterEvent(sender); } thanks
