[c#] Client > Server - textbox

[Parker]

Well I'm just messing about with a packet logger and say if I want to inject the 'BK' and use the text from txtAlert
BK - message box popup

        private void cmdAlertCS_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            clsSockets.SendToClient("BK" + txtAlertCS);
        }

But when I have like 'Hey there!' and I send the packet to client, the BK alert comes up fine but it comes out like;

System.Windows.Forms.Textbox, Text: Hey there!

But I don't want the 'System.Windows.Forms.Textbox, Text:' to come up.

Does anyone know how to counter this?

By using 'txtAlertCS' which is a TextBox object (and not text), the ToString method is implicitly invoked to convert the object to a string, which results in 'System.Windows.Forms.Textbox, Text:'. The solution is to use the 'Text' property of txtAlertCS, which will return the text contained in the text box.

How it should be:

        private void cmdAlertCS_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            clsSockets.SendToClient("BK" + txtAlertCS.Text);
        }

Thanks, I knew there was a simpler way to do it.
