Get the textinput and stop the event if the number of items in your textbox is larger than 2....

Try This:-
First set the MaxLength Property of Textbox to 2 and then write following the following code:-

C#

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     if (textBox1.Text.Length > 2)
     {
         MessageBox.Show("Can Enter only two Characters in this Textbox.", "Textbox", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
     }
}

Hi,
You can use TextBox's MaxLength property to restrict user to enter only 2 characters. To display message to user you can use TextChanged event of TextBox.
