TextBox.TextCha nged event not firing!

Hi guys

I'm trying to get ASP.NET to do something when someone starts typing in my
textbox, but it doesn't want to fire the codebehind!

I've got AutoPostBack set to to True on my textbox, and the following wireup
in my code-behind...

this.txtMyTextB ox.TextChanged += new System.EventHan dler(this.TextC hange);

TextChange function looks something like...

private void TextChange
{
Response.Write( "test!");
}

But when I type in the text box nothing happens! What have I missed?!

Cheers
Dan

Try set your AutoPostBack to true.

You do realise however, this will cause the page to post back and reload.
Not a very nice user experience.

Unless you loading some other data on the page, i would suggest you use
javascript for this

My AutoPostBack is set to True, it still doesn't work.

This is an intranet application, so I wanted to see what the speed was like
- might be okay, might not :)

Any other suggestions?

Hi all, I have a combobox control, in wich I put an autocomplete code. This code is in the TextChanged event, but when this event fires, the Text property isn't updated yet. For example, if the Text property is "Foo" and I press the letter "d", the Text property when the TextChanged event runs is "Foo". Only after the TextChanged event be processed, the KeyDown, KeyUp and KeyPress events fires and update the Text property.

Hi, In my C# Windows form MyForm I have some TextBoxes.
