Validation IsNumeric in C#
-
Use this
public bool IsNumeric(string s) { try { Int32.Parse(s); } catch { return false; } return true; }NikhilThanks for your source code :) just now i also found another way to validate the numeric field, I would like to share it with you : public bool chkNumeric(string strText) { char[] chars = strText.ToCharArray(); for (int i = 0; i < chars.Length; i++) { if (chars[i] > 57 || chars[i] < 48) { return false; } } return true; } angela

How to check validation numeric field in C# coz C# doesn't has built-in IsNumeric function :( Angela

Well you could just do like this: try { Convert.ToInt32(txtstring); } catch { MessageBox.Show("You must input a numeric value!"); return; } -- modified at 2:53 Thursday 8th June, 2006
And whats about this... if(!char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) e.Handled=true; write it in the text control's KeyPress event. _____________________________ Success is not something to wait for, its something to work for.

A couple of notes about the other replies: 1. You don't want to be catching exceptions as part of the normal logic flow. This is a well-accepted standard in software development. 2. You don't want to do this in a KeyPress event since that won't handle pasting code from another source. For a more robust equivalent to VB's IsNumeric method see: http://www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com/Articles/CSharp%20Equivalent%20to%20IsNumeric.htm[^] David Anton www.tangiblesoftwaresolutions.com Instant C#: VB to C# converter Instant VB: C# to VB converter Instant C++: C# to C++ converter Instant C++: VB to C++ converter Clear VB: Cleans up VB.NET code

this code may help you to check whether the given value is numeric or not using System.Text.RegularExpressions; public static bool CheckNumeric(string strText) { return CheckRegExPattern(@"^[0-9]+$", strText.Trim()); } -- modified at 7:05 Friday 9th June, 2006

Standard Windows copy/paste doesn't trigger KeyPress events. User the TextChanged event to capture pasting of text also.

You're kidding right?

public bool IsNumeric(string s) { try { Int32.Parse(s); } catch { return false; } return true; }NikhilBe careful. The exception police will get you. As has been explained to me, relying on exceptions is bad practice. Use
TryParseinstead ofParseand it returns a boolean to let you know if it worked or not. -

of course! I checked it last day and found the same situation. It means that we can't rely on only keyPress event for validation, we have to check some other events too; like, as you mentioned, TextChanged etc. Thanks. _____________________________ Success is not something to wait for, its something to work for.

What is this? I didn't find it.

While taking idea from this I tryed to implement it like this:
using System.Text.RegularExpressions; public bool CheckNumeric(string strtext) { System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex rr = new Regex(@"^[0-9]+$"); return rr.IsMatch(strtext); } ///In Button click event MessageBox.Show(this.CheckNumeric(TextBox1.Text).ToString());Its working, but i'm unable to interpret this @"^[0-9]+$" Thanks and Best Regards _____________________________ Success is not something to wait for, its something to work for. -
