hi everyone.

can someone teach me how to validate the textbox in vb.net?

that the textbox can only accept numeric only.

and the other textbox can only accept alphanumeric only.


much thanks.

try this code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
    e.Handled = NumbersOnly(e.KeyChar, TextBox1)
    End Sub
    Private Function NumbersOnly(ByVal pstrChar As Char, ByVal oTextBox As TextBox) As Boolean
    'validate the entry for a textbox limiting it to only numeric values and the decimal point
    If (Convert.ToString(pstrChar) = "." And InStr(oTextBox.Text, ".")) Then Return True 'accept only one instance of the decimal point
    If Convert.ToString(pstrChar) <> "." And pstrChar <> vbBack Then
    Return IIf(IsNumeric(pstrChar), False, True) 'check if numeric is returned
    End If
    Return False 'for backspace
    End Function

Try the following code for alphanumerics only

protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e) 
        { 
            Keys k = e.KeyCode; 
            if (k == Keys.Back) 
            { 
                this.isBack =  true; 
                this.isAlphaNum = false; 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                bool isAlpha = !e.Alt && !e.Control && (k >= Keys.A && k <= 
Keys.Z); 
                // Determine whether the keystroke is a number 
                bool d0d9 = k >= Keys.D0 && k <= Keys.D9; 
                bool numpad = k >= Keys.NumPad0 && k <= Keys.NumPad9; 
                bool isNumber = (!e.Alt && !e.Control && !e.Shift) && (d0d9 
|| numpad); 
                this.isBack = false; 
                this.isAlphaNum = isAlpha || isNumber; 
            } 
            base.OnKeyDown(e); 
        } 
        protected override void OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs e) 
        { 
            if (!this.isBack && !this.isAlphaNum) 
            { 
                e.Handled = true; 
                return; 
            } 
            char c = e.KeyChar; 
            if (this.isBack && this.SelectionStart > 0) 
            { 
                int currentPosition = SelectionStart; 
                this.Text = this.Text.Substring(0, this.TextLength - 1); 
                this.SelectionStart = currentPosition - 1; 
                e.Handled = true; 
                return; 
            } 
            if (this.isAlphaNum && this.SelectionStart < this.MaxLength) 
            { 
                int currentPosition = SelectionStart; 
                this.Text = this.Text.Insert(currentPosition, 
Char.ToUpper(c).ToString()); 
                this.SelectionStart = currentPosition + 1; 
                e.Handled = true; 
                return; 
            } 
            base.OnKeyPress(e); 
        }

try this code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
    e.Handled = NumbersOnly(e.KeyChar, TextBox1)
    End Sub
    Private Function NumbersOnly(ByVal pstrChar As Char, ByVal oTextBox As TextBox) As Boolean
    'validate the entry for a textbox limiting it to only numeric values and the decimal point
    If (Convert.ToString(pstrChar) = "." And InStr(oTextBox.Text, ".")) Then Return True 'accept only one instance of the decimal point
    If Convert.ToString(pstrChar) <> "." And pstrChar <> vbBack Then
    Return IIf(IsNumeric(pstrChar), False, True) 'check if numeric is returned
    End If
    Return False 'for backspace
    End Function
