Payroll Information

Introduction

This sample application demonstrates various features of the text box. It reviews the textual sides of the control. It takes advantages of its different properties such as its string and the text alignment.

New in the .NET Framework 2.0, the string of a text box could come from a preset list of items, whether from the file system or from the history list of URLs from the browser. This features is implemented through the AutoCompleteCustomSource, the AutoCompleteSource, the CustomSource, and the AutoCompleteMode properties.
