Restricting Data-Entry into Text Box

[Guest]

I'm from an Access background and I'm working with VB.Net.

In MS Access I can restrict data-entry into my fields on a form using the
Format property. Is there an equivilant in VB.Net. I want to restrict
data-entry into my text boxes to numeric only. 0-9 only. I don't want a
decimal place.

Thanks

You can use a masked edit textbox for a quick-and-dirty solution or
you can trap the input using the KeyDown/KeyUp/KeyPress events and
"kickout" any bad keys.

Hi Greg,

In VS2005, you may use MaskedTextBox for this purpose. See links below:
