Hi.

I have a Windows app that I want to feature a history-aware TextBox. When my users fill the username for example, it should saves or keep it in its history so that on the second time entering the first character username appears.

I wrote this code but does not work:

textbox1.AutoComplete.Add(usr_txt.Text.ToString());

Any ideas please. Thanks.

Do you think that "does not work" is a good description of your problem? Do you call your mechanic and tell him that your car "is broke" and expect him to know exactly what the problem is?
