Validate String In Text Box?
Feb 10, 2010
I have a form that a user inputs either A B C or D into a text box. I need to validate that one of those four letters has been entered in the text box. I am using a case statement but I think an array might work better but I can't figure out how to validate a string in an array. Or if there is a better way to use the case statement...Here is my code snippet This works, but it seems like it is the long way to do it. Also as soon as I click OK on the message box it immediatly goes and shows my next form. How do I get it validate, let the user redo, and then bring up the other form?

Good Evening! I am attempting to write a code so that someone can enter characters into a text box and then press a button which will validate the string and then count the number of uppercase letters in the displayed text. I also have a button that will allow lowercase tabulation. However I cannot get either to work or display in the associated text boxes.

I need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$

I have large lists of account numbers in an array to validate. They have distinct patterns of characters so ve decided RegEx is the best method. As it is I loop through every element and match. Is there a better way? I saw they Array.TrueForAll Generic Method but after messing with it a bit it seemed that I would have to write a separate function negating the benefit.

I want to validate xml against XSD (VB.NET). My function look like this:
Private Function ValidateXML(ByVal xml As MemoryStream, ByVal xsd As String) As ArrayList End Function
How can I do the validation when my xml is a memorystream/stream (I use stream because I don't need to store the xml) and my xsd is a string (I get my xsd from a web servise as a string, and I do not need to store it in a file)?

I'm developing a VB Web Application in .NET3.5 using Visual Studio 2008. I'm having difficulty in validating some XML as a string before I add it to a HTML form to post to a 3rd party. I have an XML schema file from the 3rd party to validate against and at this point I'd like the application to perform the validation before each post.
After searching I've found references to a XmlValidatingReader but this is obsolete and I'm having difficulty finding another way to do it. Also all the good examples are in C# - for now I'm stuck with VB. This is what I have so far which I'm looking for with! Public Function ValidateXML(ByVal strXML As String) As Boolean

I would like to check the format of a string value (contained in a variable) before using it in further code.
- It must be 8 characters in length (no more, no less)
- It must be in the following format: 2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits
I imagine the VB.NET code would be something along the lines of:If CStr(strMediaNum) (...not in the form [2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits]...) Or (...datalength not equal to eight characters...) Then Exit Sub EndIf

I am using this regex string in one of my programs to validate email adresses: "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+.[a-z]{2,4}$". This works well for the most part, but I just found out that it doesn't catch an address like this ... "john.doe.@yahoo.com" ... where there's a "." right before the "@", which is invalid, so my program tries to send it & throws an exception. How to modify my regex string to catch this situation?

is there any function to validate if a string has only numerical characters? I can cross character for character and verify if it is a number. But I look for something simpler or if already a function like that exists.
I cannot use IsNumeric or IsDigit because it returns numbers to True with point or comma.
I need only numeric characters (no comma nor points

I am creating a program and I need to validate my text boxes. For the program the user needs to put in a phrase. But I am not sure how to make sure that the user actually entered in a phrase, the phrase isn't (ex.) skldkfdl, or that there isn't a space.

I've been asked to validate the content of a text box to make sure it's only alphanumeric.Now I have 2 question on this from you experts:
1. alphanumeric value needs to start with alpha or it can start with numbers also?
2. I wrote the following code to test my entry but it's somewhere wrong I cannot understand! How can I go through each character to make sure it's alphanumeric?

Might be a simple question but i was just wondering how you can validate a text box to check if it has any symbols in it? I've stopped my program from accepting integers but i don't know how to stop symbols like $, ^ & etc. All i want is letters.

I have a form with '7 text boxes' and '1 list box' (for country selection). Basically, i want the user to have to input data into all 7 text boxes but the list box has to contain a country from the drop down box (so the user cant just type random text into the list box)If all this ^ data has been met, then the 'button' is enabled.What would be the easiest way to implement this.

I'm struggling with my computing coursework in college and I though My issue is simple but I can't get it right. I need to validate the text into a textbox and check that it contains ONLY alphanumeric characters, but it MUST contain both, not either numeric or alphabetic, but some of each.The textbox should store information about a Street address, that's why both the street Name and the property Number have to be input. Spaces " " and points "." should also be allowed.If it helps, something like "12" or "St. Davis Street" should NOT pass the validation checks, whereas "St. Davis Street 12" will do.I would like to get it done with regular expression as I've been using them throughout my work, but I don't mind other solutions.I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, 4.0 framework and Visual Basic.

I know you can validate textbox text by using the keypress events. But the form i'm working on has multiple groupboxes with multiple textboxes. So rather than having a sub routine to validate every groupbox, i was wanting to have just the one keypress event that handles the textbox entries, and depending on the textbox calls a specific validation routine.[code]

I have been searching for an easier way to validate the text property of my combobox.
Below is a background of what I am try to accomplish:
I have a from that contains many controls, mainly comboboxes that are bound to datatables. I have these set up in such a fashion as to when the user begins to type, the values begin to show and auto populate the combobox. This makes the selection process easier to select an actual value in the list. But, as we all know, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Users still have the ability to type something that is not in the list. I do not want to allow them to leave the combobox until the have selected or typed a valid value from the list because I am building a SQL query to retrieve data for a later form. I don't want to lose the above mentioned functionality of being able to type it in. I currently have it working as follows, but there must be a more elegant way to do this.
I first populate my combo box like so:
CODE:
The part I don't like the most is that I feel like I should be able to use the list already loaded in the combobox data, but I can't figure out how to do it. So I end up having to reload it, this seem like a waste of time.

The form has First Name, Last Name, Course and Email text box fields. First/Last Name must have no spaces, Course must consist of a three letters and two numbers in that order and nothing else(I want to avoid the use of masked text box), and Email must have the "@" sign and a dot. How would one make it so after clicking, say, Submit button and if there was a violation of any of the above rules then message box should pop up and tell the user which fields contain incorrect information.
Private Sub buttonAddNewStudent_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles buttonAddNewStudent.Click
'validation must be performed before the corresponding text box items will be placed inside an array

is there a flag i can call to validate the text entered in to a databound combobox?
My situation is that i have a combobox where users can type in whatever they like, but OnLeave i'd like to ensure the value in the combobox is one of the items in the data that its bound to.
i'm avoiding a listbox because the suggest/append creates a nicer interface while they are typing as it shows possible matches.
