Need to trigger an event in windows form program

Thomas

I already have code that runs when a user leaves a textbox to set properties based on the text entered. I recently added code to import a lot of the data that the user would have entered manually before. That means that the Leave event on that text box never triggers.

I thought I could use RaiseEvent(), but my program does not recognize it. I do have
"using System.Windows.Forms;"

I'm using Visual Studio 2005.

Accepted answer
It is possible to call an eventhandler directly, without the event actually firing.

For example:

textBox1_Leave(textBox1, EventArgs.Empty);

As usual thank you Vulpes!! I was not sure how to handle the eventArgs. That worked perfectly!
