I have two textboxes in my application :
textbox1 is in formview control and textbox2 is out side formview

textbox1 has value from database.
when user write something(string) in textbox2 first think I want to check that,
that value exist in textbox1...?
if it exist than only I can procced furthere...

It should be case sensitive(e.g : name and Name are different)

else

it should display Message to user that "Please enter Correct String..."

Example :
Textbox1 : A collection of related, structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product for a particular customer.

Textbox2 : service

if I type in Textbox2 : SErvice
It should display Message......

so when you search "coll", it will read the collection and find "coll" in it then display a message or you want to search only word by word?

I want to search word by word
lets say in above example I want to search "produce" OR "Structured activities"

C#

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string searchWithinThis = textBox4.Text;
            string searchForThis = textBox5.Text;
            int firstCharacter = searchWithinThis.IndexOf(searchForThis);
            if (firstCharacter == -1)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("please enter correct string");
            }
            else
            {
                // do stuff
                MessageBox.Show("OK");
            }

        }

If you are using a button to check, this will do it.

Updated code due to the OP's comment;

C#

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string searchWithinThis = textBox1.Text;
            int count = searchWithinThis.Split(' ').Length - 1;
            bool flag = false;
            string[] words = new string[count];
            words= searchWithinThis.Split(' ');
            for (int i = 0; i < words.Length; i++)
            {
                if (textBox2.Text == words[i])
                {
                    flag = true;
                }
            }
            if (flag)
            {
                //do stuff
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("correct the string");
            }

        }

Solution 1

Check the event when you want to validate this.

C#

private void TextBox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.TextBox2.Text == this.TextBox1.Text)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Message here");
            }
        }

Use events

Orcun Iyigun 23-Mar-11 16:12pm

Have you check your code?
In order to get to inside of if statement, the value of TextBox2.Text should be identical to the TextBox1.Text?

luisnike19 23-Mar-11 17:13pm

Yeah, I thought that's what he's trying to do.

Orcun Iyigun 23-Mar-11 20:22pm

Hmm I understand but the OP seems to be not responding. I understand it in a different way.
