C# act on enter key in a TextBox

[kerenx7]

Hi!

I have a Textbox and would like to commit a search on the text
entered in it if someone wrote something in and than pressed the Enter
key.

What is the best way to do that?
What event should I use?

Thank you in advance,
Keren

For a windows application, it is recommended to write a keydown event.
For a web application, it is recommended to implement the same with either
validate or lost focus

in the textbox "keydown" event,

if (e.keycode == keys.return)
{
doSearch();
}
