      {
          Label1.Text = "Not a valid number";
          return;
      }
      int num2;

      if(!Int32.TryParse(TextBox2.Text, out num2))
      {
          Label1.Text = "Not a valid number";
          return;
      }
      sum = num1 + num2;
      Label1.Text = sum.ToString();

Solution

To use TextChangedEvent you need to add TextChangedEvent event handler in your code and set AutoPostBack=true in markup

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" OnTextChanged="TextBox2_TextChanged" AutoPostBack="true"></asp:TextBox>

Code behind

    protected void TextBox2_TextChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)
    {
       int num1;
       if(!Int32.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, out num1))
       {
          Label1.Text = "Not a valid number";
          return;
       }
       int num2;

      if(!Int32.TryParse(TextBox2.Text, out num2))
      {
         Label1.Text = "Not a valid number";
         return;
      }
      sum = num1 + num2;
      Label1.Text = sum.ToString();
    }

I don't see any event handler functions in your sample code... Is that what you're asking about, how to wire them up?
