Should I validate input parameters on all functions I create? Input isn't passed from a user, but from other routines as part of an automatic process.
I use error handling. I'm not sure what more validating input could do for me. If the input isn't valid, that's pretty much the same thing as an error, isn't it?
I'm trying to determine whether or not a given string is a valid url or not.[code]...
View 1 RepliesWhat is the best way to validate a users input? I need to validate a "Name" entered in a textbox, as well as an enetered "Score".
View 8 Repliesi have this code:
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
Label2.Text = " feild empty "
Elseif TextBox1.Text <> "1234" or "7463" or "3625" or "7642" Then
[Code].....
it works when its only only content "1234" but i need to place more than one possible valid input.
how one would go about validating input into a textbox for example:
Lets say the first letter the user enters has to be 'A' and the third letter the user enters has to be any number ranging from 0-9 and the length of their input cannot exceed lets say 10.
This is what I have so far:
If txtOperatorID.TextLength > 10 Then
bErrorOccured = True
sErrorMessage = sErrorMessage & "-No more than 10 chars" & vbCrLf
[Code]....
The coding for the length works(is there a better way to do this)? The coding for the first letter to be A works but then I have no idea how to set validation for any proceeding characters entered. Am i right in thinking I have to find their position somehow in the string if so how?
I am going to make a form which will have 10 MaskedTextBoxes. I want to validate input of all these MaskedTextBoxes then Sum the input of validated one into another MaskedTextBox. If there is any value in any MaskedTextBox it mast be validate by the format of "9990.000" or if it is empty return zero. I do not want to write the same code for every MaskedTextBox, I want to use function & sub. The problem with "e" type TypeValidationEventArgs. When I call the SumBurBoxes sub in txtBur_1_TypeValidationCompleted & give the "e" as second parameter, then if the txtBur_1 be invalid type and any other txtBur Boxes have value it will get error on all boxes if the txtBur_1 be valid type even the the other boxes be invalid type it does not get error on them.
Here is my Code.

txt(0) = Me.txtBur_1

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.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on my first VB.NET 2.0 WinForm app. I'm trying to validate some input and I came across this fancy Error Provider control that seems great. However I have a problem with it.

I have several text boxes I need to validate. I am not understanding how to validate in Visual Basic 2008. So I deployed standard If Statements to handle bad data. I am having two problems.
Lets say the user entered wrong data, example, numbers; an error message is displayed. The text boxes cannot contain numbers, be left empty or contained characters, like !@#$. The problem is if the user enter text, and then entered a wrong data again the code does not work or display error message. How can I make the conditions so that they throw out error message even if the user had previously entered good data.
Another example: If the user enter good data in text box 1 and bad data in text box 2, the error message does not work.
Finally, how do I filter out characters to allow only text. Is there a way to use this code on multiple text boxes with out writing the entire code for each form control?
Here are the conditional statements.
Private Sub btnDataSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDataSubmit.Click
If IsNumeric(txtDataEntry.Text) Then
lblErrorDisplay.Text = "Invalid Name!"
lblErrorDisplay.BackColor = Color.Red

So right now it all looks pretty with ... <button type="submit" runat="server" name="subscribe" id="Button1" class="link-button" onserverclick="saveListing"> Until it is time to validate the data before calling saveListing function codebehind (in VB .Net). How can true/false be return so that when true saveListing will be called, otherwise not?

have a web form using Asp.net 2.0 with vb.net. I have two date fields on the form but I would like to validate them before my gridview uses them as parameters. I am using a Dataset for the source of the gridview and two parameters called StartDate and EndDate.
Basically in the code I am setting the values of the fields to the current date at runtime. Also the date fields in the SQL Server table are datetime and I only want the user to have to enter the date and it would grab all records within that date range regardless of the time. When the user enters the two dates and clicks a button on the form I need it to reset the parameters to the enter dates and refresh the data.

Ok, so I have created an Access database, and everything is working fine (much to my amazement) except for one thing. I want the database "update" button to validate the input before applying it to the dataset, and if there is an error (empty field) I want it to pop a message and highlight the text box in question where the error occured (there are 7 textboxes).
How precisely do I go about doing that?

I should be able to get result back as long as there's a match in the parameters.

It doesn't match a single word at a time. So that's why I used this in the Linq to SQL:
