Alphanumeric

[Scott3415]

Does a textbox control, placed on a form, have a inhereted methid in vb.net to do a alphanumeric validation? If not, what is the easiest way to achieve this? Thanks.

u can fetch the value of textbox and store in a string variable and perform the validation on the string variable.

No, you have to code it yourself. You can make your own TextBox by creating a class, inheriting from TextBox, and adding validation code by handling the KeyDown event and screening out characters that are not numbers. You can find lots of example by just simplying searching[^] the articles here on CP. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
