Datagridview cell validating

[cs2009]

Using Visual Studio 2008.

I need some help with how to validate a cell in a datagridview.

I only want to allow the user to enter characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and - (hyphen).

Thanks.

You could use a custom field validator,so that the field only takes those characters. Place the validator next to the textbox of course

Sorry for repost, here is a page you should find useful for testing out regular expresions, and creating your own.
