Here's another question, Viv

string[] moneylines = Regex.Split(frmCounting.textBoxDemoninations.Text, "\r\n");
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].ones = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[0].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].twos = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[1].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].fives = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[2].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].tens = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[3].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].twentys = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[4].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].fiftys = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[5].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail[0].hundreds = Convert.ToDecimal(moneylines[6].TrimEnd().TrimStart());
workingprocessds.depdetail.AcceptChanges();

This code successfully parses the text into the 7 correct denominations.

For testing, I activate this code by pressing a command button.
Is there any way that I can force this code to be activated automatically after the multiline textbox is filled?
