validating data entry in vb.net forms, use regular expressions?
-
someone please send me an article/link to one on validating data entry controls for vb.net forms. I have an application with 5 different developers working on their own forms. The challenge is to create some sort of base class that will force the developers to use the same validation controls and or regular expressions on string textboxes, date textboxes, integers and so forth.

It sounds to me like you may just (maybe not "just", but.. ;P) need to make a few user controls (or design a custom control) that encapsulate all of the required functionality. You can set properties within the controls that are readonly (those that you do not wish to have modified by the developers). The following Sites/Articles may provide useful, as they speak in reference to your question(s). http://builder.com.com/5100-6387_14-5025318.html[^] http://www.thecodeproject.com/useritems/Regular_Expression.asp?print=true[^]
