:confused: execute your code in your mind assuming the textbox holds "abc", for two iterations, and you will know. :)

Why not use the built in methods?
if (e.KeyChar == 13)
{
if (Test1.Text.IndexOfAny(new char[]{'@', '.', ',', '!'}) < 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("The name can' t hold '.', '!', '[]'", "Info", 0, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return;
}
if (Text1.Text != "")
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(Text1.Text);
}
Text1.Text = "";

Or - and this is just a suggestion, so I'll whisper - use the debugger You might find it helps...

I'll pretend I didn't hear that. IMO debuggers are fine for solving hard problems, just looking at the code and executing it mentally is what always has to come first. :)

why test after the unwanted characters have been added to the text? why not check them on entry, i.e. use the KeyDown event and refuse the characters. Or even override the IsInputChar() method. :)

I know what you mean, but sometimes I can stare at code and only see what I meant to write!

Complicated - what happens if the user pastes it in?

Correct, one actually needs both kinds of validation to get immediate feedback. IMO issuing a bad character message at the end of a line isn't part of a good UI. :)

Yep. Now, I could say I left that as an exercise for the reader? Or just admit it: I made a mistake - sorry! Also, to work with your original code it needs to be:
if (e.KeyChar == 13)
{
if (Test1.Text.IndexOfAny(new char[]{'.', '!', '[', ']'}) >= 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("The name can't hold '.', '!', '[]'", "Info", 0, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return;
}
if (Text1.Text != "")
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(Text1.Text);
}
Text1.Text = "";
}because I added comma and atsign, and forgot your square brackets as well. :-O
