How to make use of RegularExpressi onValidators in case of Windows Forms ?

15 New Member
I am currently using a Windows Application whcih contains many forms.
OIn one of the forms, I want to validate :

1.A TextBox(which will only accept digits 0-9)(the user won't be able top type any other except digits

2. Another textbox which will accept only [a-z} and [A-Z ], No other key will be allowed to be types in the textbox.

For the first requirement I used

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex myRegEx = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^?{10}$");
  2. if (myRegEx.IsMatch(txtBox.text)) {
  3.     //  Is ok
  4. }
  5. else {
  6.     //  Is not ok
  7. }
But unfurtunately this didn't work for me.
kindly suggest a smarter way to validate.
Your answers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have developed a small API for taking care of a lot of boiler plate stuff in a multi formed windows application, for example setting up a messaging thread framework. New Forms, in the appllication using the API, are subclassed to a Form contained within the API, and they are controlled (controlled in this instance means, kept alive, displayed and hidden) at runtime by a thread whose responsibility is this sole task. In order to run...

Hi all, I am not sure if this is the right NG to post this question. If that's the case please point me to the correct NG. I have a class library(myLib.dll) which has a class(myClass) which has a method(myClassMethod) that creates a form with a button on it. The application that calls the dll is a windows application(myWinApp). When in myWinApp I do, myClass.myClassMethod, a form is created.
