[NarendraSinghJTV]

i am trying to do the task in which i want to remove the last character of textbox if there is not any matching item in autocompletelist.

What is the problem ? Where are you stuck ? It's very easy to do. Check the Substring method of the string class.

I just realised you had jumped in. I thought the OP was saying. Well, I guess he's another who asks a question that's vague, then never replies when people try to help.

Try the following: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { String s = textBox1.Text; s = s.Remove(s.Length - 1); textBox1.Text = s; } I think you got the solution.

[Christian Graus]

How about textbox1.Text = textbox1.Text.Substring(0, textbox1.Text.Length -1 ); ? However, if you read the other posts, we think he's writing a web app. He also doesn't seem to really want help, he's not posting back.

Could you handle that in the KeyPress event instead?

[AhmedMasum]

Can you clear me the question? I am not understanding your question.

[NarendraSinghJTV]

ok, when we type any character in a textbox which have autocomplete option it shows a list of matched items. when we press any wrong character or the character which does not match with the autocomplete list the list is disappered. At that time if we press backspace then again autocomplete list appears with the matching items. like that i want to show the item list again by removing last unmatched character programatically like e.g.(textbox.length-1). I think autocomplete list generates on key_press event of textbox. Hope now it is easy to understand waiting for ur rply thanks in advance for ur rply

[NarendraSinghJTV]

i m already using it on keypress event thanks for rply

[NarendraSinghJTV]

ok i think it doesnt have any solution thanks for all the rplys
