In Windows forms, TextBox plays an important role. With the help of TextBox, the user can enter data in the application, it can be of a single line or of multiple lines. The TextBox is a class and it is defined under System.Windows.Forms namespace. In C#, you can create a TextBox in two different ways:

1. Design-Time: It is the simplest way to create a TextBox as shown in the following steps:

2. Run-Time: It is a little bit trickier than the above method. In this method, you can create your own textbox using the TextBox class.

• Step 1 : Create a textbox using the TextBox() constructor provided by the TextBox class.

  // Creating textbox TextBox Mytextbox = new TextBox();              

• Step 2 : After creating TextBox, set the properties of the TextBox provided by the TextBox class.

                  // Set location of the textbox Mytextbox.Location = new Point(187, 51);  // Set background color of the textbox Mytextbox.BackColor = Color.LightGray;  // Set the foreground color of the textbox Mytextbox.ForeColor = Color.DarkOliveGreen;  // Set the size of the textbox Mytextbox.AutoSize = true;  // Set the name of the textbox Mytextbox.Name = "text_box1";              

• Step 3 : And last add this textbox control to from using Add() method.

  // Add this textbox to form this.Controls.Add(Mytextbox);              

  Example:

  using System;

  using System.Collections.Generic;

  using System.ComponentModel;

  using System.Data;

  using System.Drawing;

  using System.Linq;

  using System.Text;

  using System.Threading.Tasks;

  using System.Windows.Forms;

  namespace my {

  public partial class Form1 : Form {

  public Form1()

  {

  InitializeComponent();

  }

  private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  Label Mylablel = new Label();

  Mylablel.Location = new Point(96, 54);

  Mylablel.Text = "Enter Name" ;

  Mylablel.AutoSize = true ;

  Mylablel.BackColor = Color.LightGray;

  this .Controls.Add(Mylablel);

  TextBox Mytextbox = new TextBox();

  Mytextbox.Location = new Point(187, 51);

  Mytextbox.BackColor = Color.LightGray;

  Mytextbox.ForeColor = Color.DarkOliveGreen;

  Mytextbox.AutoSize = true ;

  Mytextbox.Name = "text_box1" ;

  this .Controls.Add(Mytextbox);

  }

  }

  }
