RE: Validating textbox

How are you trying to validate? Are you writing code? Are you using a
Validation Control?

What is the error you are getting?

Place an ErrorProvider component on the form and add this code:

\\\
Imports System.Componen tModel
..
..
..
Private Sub TextBox1_Valida ting( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As CancelEventArgs _
) Handles TextBox1.Valida ting
Dim SourceControl As TextBox = DirectCast(send er, TextBox)
Dim ErrorText As String
Try
Dim i As Integer = Integer.Parse(S ourceControl.Te xt)
Catch
ErrorText = "Value must be an integer."
Finally
Me.ErrorProvide r1.SetError( _
SourceControl, _
ErrorText _
)
End Try
End Sub
///
