No, it does not work... That will match letters and digits and '&'.

1. That wont compile. 2. Are you checking for digits or letters?

int.TryParse in the key event handler is your friend.

Friends dont let friends overflow! What happens if the person enters 25 digits?

sacr83, If you only want to allow numbers, why not use a NumericUpDown control... MSDN[^]

No if (!Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar)) { e.Handled = true; }

Just use this private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { **if (!char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar)) { e.Handled = true; MessageBox.Show("Integer numbers only"); }** }

Then I should take the time to read the question more precisely ;) A regex like \d{,7} for at most, or \d{7} for exactly 7 digits will do the job as well. But I'd use a NumericUpDown control for this task.

if you want to get an error as you type you can use KeyDown events then get your last entered character from your textbox, if last character is not what you suggest to input throw an errror
