catch for letters

[Britnt7]

Does anyone know how to use an if statement in VB.Net to catch if a user enters a character instead of a number?:doh: The user should only be entering numbers in a textbox and if they enter a letter, I want to catch it. Thanks in advance:) Beginner in VB.Net

Try the keypress event from the text box as below:

    Private Sub txtTitleLevel_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _
    Handles txtTitleLevel.KeyPress

        If (e.KeyChar >= "0" And e.KeyChar <= "9") Or _
        e.KeyChar = Chr(8) Then
            ' Chr(8) mean backspace.
            e.Handled = False ' Allow user to input numeric value.
        Else
            e.Handled = True ' Do not allow user to type character.
        End If

    End Sub
