Textbox to allow only numbers C# VB.Net

How to: Create a Numeric Text Box

A TextBox control is used to display, or accept as input, a single line of text. It can contain only unformatted text in its Text property. In many situations you need to enter only numeric values in the Textbox. Here you can see some useful techniques that accept only numbers in the textbox.

You can use Regular Expression to validate a Textbox to enter number only.

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(textBox1.Text, "[ ^ 0-9]")

In this case your Textbox accept only numbers.

The following method also you can force your user to enter numeric value only.

if (!char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) && !char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar))
{
    e.Handled = true;
}

If you want to allow decimals add the following to the above code.

if (!char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) && !char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) && (e.KeyChar != '.'))
{
    e.Handled = true;
}

If (Not Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) _
             AndAlso (Not Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) _
             AndAlso (e.KeyChar <> Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(46)))) Then
    e.Handled = True
End If
