[RESOLVED] Text validation help

Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
This is an ASP.net project

I have searched but wasn't successful :(

I have two text boxes and I need to make small calculator.
I have made one "IF" for checking is there something in textboxes, if they are empty then I get message that I didn't insert anything.

And if I insert numbers then I get the result.
This is ok.

I have a problem with validation :eek:

I need ONLY numbers to be inserted, if I insert something that is not integer I need a message that this is not a number.

Please, hlp.

This is my code :

Code:

---

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        If TextBox1.Text = ("") Or TextBox2.Text = ("") Then
            Label5.Text = ("Niste unjeli dva broja, pokusajte ponovo")
        Else
            Dim prvi As Integer = TextBox1.Text
            Dim drugi As Integer = TextBox2.Text
            Label5.Text = (prvi + drugi)
        End If

    End Sub

---

hay,
you can use RegularExpressions to do such thing

Code:

---

Dim numericReg As New Regex("^[\d]*$")
If numericReg.IsMatch("12345") Then
        // the match done
        Return True
Else
//  there is no match
/// add the message that you want
        Return False
End If

---

Hm... Really sorry but I don't know how to implement this in my code, I didn't use this till now :(

ok,

Code:

---

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        If TextBox1.Text = ("") Or TextBox2.Text = ("") Then
            Label5.Text = ("Niste unjeli dva broja, pokusajte ponovo")
        Else
            Dim numericReg As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^[\d]*$")
            If numericReg.IsMatch(TextBox1.Text) AndAlso numericReg.IsMatch(TextBox2.Text) Then
              Dim prvi As Integer = TextBox1.Text
              Dim drugi As Integer = TextBox2.Text
              Label5.Text = (prvi + drugi)
              Else
              Label5.Text = "please enter numbers"
            End If
           
        End If

    End Sub

i think this will make it for you

but really i don't know if this was right or not

Code:

---

Dim drugi As Integer = TextBox2.Text

---

if it was right then the code will work fine.

Thanks so much, this works great and now I have an example, thanks!

glad to hear this,

yes, it is correct because I need two numbers :D

thanks for the link!:thumb:

ok, great i was just want to check if it was right or wrong
you can check if the numbers was 2 digits or not
use this

Code:

---

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^[\d]{2}$")

Hey,

You might want to think about using the built in controls for this, i.e:

That way you will get validation both on the client side, and the server side.
