Question

I have a winforms sign in in c# that I would like to have it try login after pressing the enter key on the password box.

I have a username textbox, password textbox, and a label for my submit.

I have this for my enter keypress.

    private void password_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
        {

            signinbutton.Click();    //I was thinking something like this would work                        
        }
    }

Any ideas would be appreciated thanks.

I presume your code currently looks like this:

private void password_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
    {
         // what do i do here?         
    }
}
private void signinbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    //do stuff
    //do stuff
    //do stuff
}

Here is what I recommend you do:

private void password_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
    {
         DoStuff();
    }
}
private void signinbutton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    DoStuff();
}
private void DoStuff() {
    //do stuff
    //do stuff
    //do stuff
}
