Numbers only in textbox?

[Larsson]

Hi!

How do I set a textbox on a form to receive only numbers not characters?
For example: 56.245 or -562
And not 45k or Hello World!

Thanks for all help, Larsson

the easy way would be to put a range validator control linked to the textbox...
Is that what you want? Or are you talking about excluding the keypress action if the key is not a number... ??

The second part, avoiding the key press.
I remember from Visual studio 6.0 that it was possible to set a textbox to be a "number" box.

You don't have that capability in VS.NET anymore. The only way would be the KeyPress event.
Put aside that you have to create such event, then it's just an if condition where you check if the Chr() value (I'm not sure what it's called now in .NET) of the KeyPressed is in between Chr(0) and Chr(9)...
