Subscribe to the TextBox.KeyPress event. Check the character in the event
arguments. If it's a non-digit, set e.Handled=true; and that should prevent
the character from being allowed. You might want to do a beep or something
as well.

Note that this technique only prevents users from manually typing the
non-digit characters in the textbox - they can still paste the non-digit
characters from the clipboard. You might want to also implement an event
handler for the TextChanged property and replace all non-digit characters
there.
