I have a one problem for backspaces in c#(windows)

I have written following code in keyup event for textbox i.e (Text Box is placed On 5 th panel)

if(e.keydata==keys.back)

   {
   sendkeys.send=("+{BS}");
   Sendkeys.send={Break};
   }

It will delete ONLY ONE char. When I'm pressing backspace button but when I'm holding backspace button it will not delete the complete chars. Just it will deldete one char for one pressing. Could you please give me the solution.

When do you think you get the KeyUp event?

I'll give you a clue:

Push a key down - you get a KeyDown event.

Hold it down - you get KeyDown (and sometimes KeyPress) events

Let go of a key - what event do you get?

What you want to do is handle the Key Down or KeyPress event instead...
