[pritesh2010]

to valid textboxes write the code in keypress event
like

Dim KeyAscii As Integer
        KeyAscii = Asc(e.KeyChar)
        Select Case KeyAscii
case 65 to 90 ''for capital ALPHABET A
case 97 to122
case else
keyascii=0
End Select

        If KeyAscii = 0 Then
            e.Handled = True
            MessageBox.Show("Please Type Word  only", "Type the Numbers!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
        Else

The Below Code validation for Text,Numeric values and symbols are not allowed.

If Char.IsPunctuation(e.KeyChar) = True And Asc(e.KeyChar) <> 8 Then
            e.Handled = True
            MsgBox("Please Enter only letter.")
ElseIf Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) = True And Asc(e.KeyChar) <> 8 Then
            e.Handled = True
            MsgBox("Please Enter only letter.")
End If

For Symbol and Text

If Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) = True And Asc(e.KeyChar) <> 8 Then
            e.Handled = True
            MsgBox("Please Enter only letter.")
End If

[Sangavi]

Code For allowing Numbers only:

If (Char.IsPunctuation(e.KeyChar) = True Or Char.IsLetter(e.KeyChar) = True) And   Asc(e.KeyChar) <> 8 Then
            e.Handled = True
            MsgBox("Enter Numbers Only")
        End If

[Netcode]

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtSearch.TextChanged
        If Not IsNumeric(.Text) Then
            MessageBox.Show("please enter a valid string", "Error" _
                             , MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
        End If
