Determine number of characters entered into textbox with C#

Hi I was wanting to display the number of characters entered into a textbox and I want it to update as I type how can I go about this?

Here is what I have:

int kk = textBox1.MaxLength;
int jj = //This is what I need to know.
string lol = jj.ToString() + "/" + kk.ToString();
label2.Text = lol;

you can use the OnTextChanged event of the Textbox on the client side in Javascript and compute the increment from.

TextBoxobject.Text.Length will give you the length of textbox value.

The text of the text box will be a string, so it has a Length property, i.e.:

textBox1.Text.Length

How about

int jj = textBox1.Text.Length;

Or am I missing something?
