>From what you mentioned earlier, you were able to save to the database
before.
What is the name of your method that performs this action? It's user-
defined.
For example:
public void saveToDatabase(string AValue)
{
string query "INSERT INTO FOO.. WHERE..." + AValue; //
pseudocode only.
// your implementation here.
}
I noted from your code:
public void mytextbox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("mytextbox changed");
mytextbox.Text = "TESTING!!!";
}
lacks a call to the method that actually saves to the database. You've
simply updated your visual control (textbox). It should something
like:
public void mytextbox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("mytextbox changed");
mytextbox.Text = "TESTING!!!";
saveToDatabase(mytextbox.Text) ;
}
