[code] how can I also allow a decimal point, and also it will not let me Exit the program unless there is something in the textbox, I have looked around and have seen a few different codes but they seemed kind of complicated.
View 3 RepliesI'm writing a part of an application for a movie ticket program.
Basically, I have to write an If statement verifying the age put in a textbox, based on a radiobox that is checked.
So, if the radiobox "PG" is checked, the age in the textbox has to be equal to or greater than 12. If "Restricted" is checked, then the textbox has to be equal to or great than 17.
I have a textbox, a standard button and a toolstrip containing a couple of buttons. In the validating event of the textbox i coded to check whether it is blank. If yes then it shows a message 'Enter Value'. When the standard button is clicked while the textbox is empty, it's validating properly and showing the message but when the toolstripbutton is clicked it's not not validating the textbox and no message is being shown. It seems that I gotto write the validation code explicitly in the toolstripbutton_click event which is too troublesome when there are multiple textboxes and toolstripbuttons on a single form. What I want to know is whether the textbox_validating can be fired while the toolstripbutton is clicked? Handling toolstrips is really a headache. I'm badly in need of it.

I have a MDIParent form and 2 child forms. One of them,form1, has a textbox for which certain validations are present in the validating event. The other one has a button on it. When I try to navigate from form1 to form2, the validating event is firing twice for the first time. Is there a way to make it fire only once. And also, this event fires whenever I try to close the mdi parent form Attached is a sample project.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to validate a string that has been inputted into a text box to make sure there is nothing but alphabetical charecters in the textbox. The following code only checks the first character in the textbox...
If Char.IsLetter(textbox1.Text) = False Then
MsgBox("Error! Invalid charecters present")
Exit Sub
End If
I was wondering if there was any way that i could turn this into some sort of loop so that it checks all of the charecters present within the textbox?
I'm a beginner using VS2010 Express. Using a windows form, I'd like to be able to validate a textbox against a column of data in an existing SQL table when the user selects a submit button. To my surprise, a google search revealed very little-- a few instructions using C#, but I'd really like to continue learning VB (only background is with VBA).

I would like to know if there is a simple way to validate an e-mail address? I have seen many ways that appear to use functions but I would like to use something simple because currently my error control is done like this:
If txtEmail.Text = "" Then
ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail, "You must enter your e-mail address.")
Else
ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail, "")
Is there a way to use the same type of syntax but instead of checking if the textbox is empty, check if it a valid e-mail address? I know the regular expressions can be used, but how in this circumstance?
In WinForms I could handle the Validated event to do something after the user changed text in a TextBox. Unlike TextChanged, Validated didn't fire for every character change; it only fired when the user was done.Is there anything in WPF I can use to get the same result, an event raised only after the user is done changing the text?
View 3 RepliesI have an ASP.Net 2.0 textbox which I need to be validated as having some content, but where whitespace alone is valid input. A required field validator seems to reject a pure whitespace input as invalid. A regular expression validator won't fire at all on empty content. Is there a simpler way round this than using a custom validator control?

I have form with ComboBox and TextBox. ComboBox has values A, B. And I would like to validate TextBox. If user select A so TextBox need to check for numeric and amount of numbers can't exceed 10 characters. If will entered not numeric characters error will indicated. If user select B so TextBox will check for string and user can enter any characters. Only if box is empty error will indicated.
View 6 RepliesI frequently use TextBoxes that expect date values. I do a tedious job every time to handle the Validating event. The Validation event ensures that the value is a valid date value according to the current thread's Calendar, and if so, formats the date to "dd-MM-yyyy".
I want a TextBox (e.g. DateTextBox) that automatically runs validation and formats its Text property. All I have to do is dropping it to the form.
I know I should use inheritance; but I do not know where to put the auto-validation code; and I do not know how to save the inherited class as a control in the ToolBox.
I have a custom text box component (inherits from system.windows.forms.textbox) that I created in vb.net (2005) that handles the input of numeric data. It works well.
I would like to suppress the validating and validated events from firing if the number hasn't changed. If a user is tabbing through the form and tabs from the text box, the validating/validated events are fired.
I was thinking that the text box could cache the value and compare it to what is listed in the text property. If they are different, then I would want the validating/validate events to fire. If they are the same, nothing is fired.
I can't seem to figure out how to suppress the event. I have tried overriding the OnValidating event. That didn't work.
Update:
Here is the custom text box class. The idea is that I want to cache the value of the text box on the validate event. Once the value is cached, the next time the user tabs through the box, the validating event will check to see if the _Cache is different from the .Text. If so that is when I would like to raise the validating event to the parent form (as well as the validated event). If the _cache is the same, then I don't want to raise the event to the form. Essentially the text box will work the same as a regular text box except that the validating and validated method are only raised to the form when the text has changed.

Is there a way to validate ALL properties in a class at once? I have a class with various validations added to property "Getter" to validate user inputs. (The problem is that all my validations only invoke if a user input something to the field that bind to the property. Any fields that user simply bypass will not get validated). Ideally I want to loop through each property and validate in a "Save()" method.

So I'm developing a Windows Forms Application in Visual Basic 2010. The user searches for data and fetches results, updates fields and some other CRUD operations. I want to provide a user input validation. Usual stuff i.e. some fields need to be always numbers>0, others need to be non-empty in order to avoid Null access on some objects and others just need to be some fixed strings.

I am writing below code for validating compulsary field account no. in form.User's requirement is set focus back on field when error comes :

It's working properly. But suppose user don't want to fill form and exiting from application.Message box keep on appearing till user enters account no.

View 2 RepliesI have a VB.Net program that manually sends email via the MS Exchange Server. When an email is sent it will always have at least 1 pdf file attached to it.
