Problems with Strings in C#

Question

OK, so, I'm trying to make it if a read-only textbox1 equals some string, then another read-only textbox2 equals some other string, depending on what textbox1 is. For example, it textbox 1 is equal to "Hey" Textbox2 will be equal to "Hi". Here's what I have:

string responseString = "Hey";
if(TextBox1.Text == ("Hi"))
{
    TextBox2.Text = responseString;
}

I'm using Visual studios C# Express 2010. I'm new to this so I'm sorry for any dumb questions. My C# class hasn't gone into too much depth with Strings and loops yet. Thanks!

I'm not getting any errors by the way, it just doesn't work.

What do you mean view only textboxes? Do you actually mean readonly? — Crono

Yeah, I'm sorry. I meant read-only. I had it under: private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) — brettsalyer

If your textboxes are readonly, how do you think their text will change so the event is fired? — Euphoric

Your code is currently backwards from what you've described you're trying to do:

string responseString = "Hi";

if (TextBox1.Text == "Hey")
{
    TextBox2.Text = responseString;
}

I figured it out. I had my code under the wrong event as Ahbi had said. I had in under the wrong textbox event.

   private void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string responseString = "Hi";
    if (TextBox1.Text == ("Hey"))
    {
        TextBox2.Text = responseString;
    }
}

Above is correct. I had it under the: `

private void textBox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

which was not correct.`
