Save text from textbox to memorystream?

Question

Hi i'm newbie in C# developer. I would like to save a text-file to database. I watched some videos on Youtube. They use Memorystream to save image:

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
pictureBox1.Image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Now i try to save a text from a textbox? Can i have similar way to do it? Thank you

Yes, you can.

Try something like this.

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
ms.Write(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(textBox1.Text), 0, textBox1.Length);
