I have this function which evaluates the contents of a textbox (or combobox or maskedtextbox) control and, in conjunction with a KeyPress event, will either allow or disallow the input. It is quite useful for dates or textboxes for which only numeric input is valid. It allows a set number of digits after a single decimal point, if specified in the function call. It also allows the backspace character if the textbox is full.
I would like it to allow me to input what would otherwise be valid text when the textbox is full but one or more characters are highlighted (and would therefore be replaced by the keypress character.

I am using many text boxes in a form. How do i validate them, In certain text boxes I have to use only text and in some I have to use only numbers. Is using ASCII is a right method or is there any easier method to do this. If so please let me know the coding.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to validate wether a number is a decimal in Visual Basic. The results I get when the number is valid the msgBox shows. When it is not valid, I don't receive the msgBox and the program crashes with an error message that number has to be less than infinity.I tried adding another If Not IsNumeric(txt1.text) then -- But received the same results.
Where did i go wrong?
If IsNumeric(txt1.text) Then
msgBox("good")

I am starting out in Visual Basic.Net and need a bit of assistance.I am creating a Windows form (not controls).In this program, I am attempting to validate 2 different text boxes BEFORE the rest of the controls can be validated. For example:I have an authorTextBox and titleTextBox, which the authorTextBox MUST have some user input BEFORE the user is permitted to move onto the titleTextBox. (the user input can be fake like "John Doe", the point is to force the user to input something).The instructions that I was given is not very clear on how to code this properly in order to have the form show an error message requiring the user to input something in both textboxes before they are permitted to move onto the other controls.

I want my text box to filled by an alphabet first then the remaing characters can be anything. Also i have drop down which is having arithmatic functions.(< ,> , = ,+ etc) If the user selects < or > then the value entered in the text box should be numeric. and if the user selects "=" then the textbox value should be string.

I am doing form validation in VB, I validate the text field data by using txtName_LostFocus function, and on wrong input I used txtName.Focus(). It works well for me. But problem is that as for as, user does not input valid text, my EXIT button also does not works.

Design a form, which contain a TEXTBOX control that accept a UserID input, with a CommandButton control to perform a validation based on the criteria listed below. Display a Message on whether the UserID is Valid.
Criteria:
The UserID must contains SIX digits follow by a single character, limit the entry to a maximum of seven characters only.
The postfix character of the UserID is derived from the summation of all the six digits divided by seven and using the remain as followed:
Remain
Character
0
A

The problem is that if you never enter anything into a cell for a new row then that cell is never validated. This is a problem because I have columns that should not be null. I am doing the check in the row level validation and storing the information about which cells are empty that should not be empty. The row level validation works fine and the row level validation error indicator goes on,(red exclamation mark at the beginning of the row) but I also need a visual indicator on the individual cells that are in error.
I am thinking that setting the HasError property for the cells that are in error should cause them to display n error style (the default red border). Is there a way to this this either from XAML (perferably) or from code?Alternatively I could cause those cells to re-validate when the row editing is finished. Does anyone know how to do this?
When trying to validate controls on a windows form I realise the .validated() for each controls fires when the focus is lost. Instead I'd like to validate only when the button is pressed at the bottom, how would I do this?

I have two problems related to validation of the DGV cell. First; when I clicked a ToolStripButton, CellValidating event isn't fired. And then it causes problems for me. It needed to be validated.
View 18 RepliesI have a form set up where users can enter their booking for a room at my college. I want to validate the user input to avoid SQL injection (my program uses a MS Access database) and also stop numbers and synbols in their name, etc.I can do the validation fine, but there is to be a lot of validation and then methods executed only if all validation tests come back as true. I did have something like this:
If txtName.Text = "" Then
frmBookErr.SetError(txtName, "Name field cannot be left blank.")
fail = 1
Else
[code]....
And then check the fail variable, but it obviously gets overridden later in the form if one of the validation tests come back as true.
Where to add this validation, or if there is a more efficient way of doing it and where to put it?

I'm a non developer user of VB. I'm using a simple form to input data to a database. have some text boxes bound to data and use a Binding navigator. I want to be able to handle or catch the error when a non unique ID is added. I have tried to include an error handler in several places but the exception is generated anyway. For example I select to add a new record the change the id to a duplicate value and navigate to the previous record and get the error. I want to check or validate the value before it generates the error to avoid the program crashing if someone includes a duplicate id.
View 5 RepliesI;m making an application (who ins't xD), anyways, I'm using some encapsulation objects to transport stuff to the BLL. i was wondering (and might be sound stupid, I know) what you guys think is better practice:Either use Objects for transporting lots of stuff (like a BLL object to transport all its attributes) Or-handle around Strings through the GUI and only create objects when strictly needed.
Another question that just popped my mind: I'm using a Validation class in the BLL in order to validate stuff like "This particular object is already mapped, error" or "This is not well formed", and throw exceptions, instead of boolean values, since I'm at BLL level. Do you guys use a Validation class or perform the validation from the object itself? The old "who's responsible" problem.
I have decided to add some validation to my combobox, what I'm trying to achieve is to make sure that the user can ONLY enter fields that are in the combobox but the problem I have now is that if the user clicks on the combobox and doesnt enter anything and tries to leave the combobox the message box appears.
Private Sub Combobox1_Validating(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles Combobox1.Validating
If Combobox1.Items.Contains(Combobox1.Text) = False Then
e.Cancel = True

As stated before the coding does work, but I was trying to make sure the message box does not appear if the user doesnt enter anything in the combobox.
I have a form which imports a CSV into a datagrid. I have validation for new row, which has error provider appear on form. How can I add validation to the datagrid once the CSV has been loaded to flag that a certain cell must be completed for saving. I can do it in my dataset for new rows:-
Partial Class ContactsDataSet
Partial Class ContactsDataTable
Private Sub CheckContactName(ByVal contactsRow As ContactsDataSet.ContactsRow)
If contactsRow.IsNull("Name") OrElse contactsRow.Name = "" Then
contactsRow.SetColumnError(Me.NameColumn, "Must be completed")
[Code] .....
How can I do it for existing rows or imported rows or get error provider to appear on every cell (called Name) that is empty?

Newbie question. I'm writing an ASP.Net MVC app in VB.Net and have been using NerdDinner as a sample (which is in C#). I'm stuck on the validation process specifically the code found in ModelsDinner.cs . I have tried converting it to VB.Net using [URL]...tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/ but it chokes on the Yield statement which found in the GetRuleViolations method (see code below). So my question is how would you do the equivalent in VB.Net?
