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.

View 1 RepliesI'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 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.

View 2 RepliesI 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
