TextBox Validation

[eihabisaac]

Hi,

i'm working with c# and MySQL, and i need to validate some textboxes to ensure valid data is inserted to the database.

i did some coding and it works but i need the easiest and the right way to do that and if there is a TOOLBOX for validation that will be great.

private void textBox1_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(textBox1.Text))
e.Cancel = true;
}

not just for null value, i need to make sure only numbers are inserted.

thanks in advance for any help

TIP: When you are writing your question, there is a button on the tool bar that wraps the [code] tags around your copy/pasted code. It helps a bunch. Its the button with a '#' on it. More on tags. They're cool. Check'em out.

Option A: Change the Textbox for a NumericUpDown

Option B: Create a custom Textbox, inheriting from Textbox that filters on the Keypress event and only allows numbers to be entered.

Option C: Parse your text in a loop character by character to make sure each one is a number.

Option D: Regular Expressions (RegEx)

you can make validation on text box from toolbox ,choose validation if you want write number only choose regular expression validator and write in its properties
(validation expression)this expression(\d{n umbers of numbers you want to enter it })
if you refuse null value this expression make what you want.
Good luck.
