Validation Command

[dr223]

Hi,

I have the following validation which works fine for numeric textbox i.e., txtprojstart, however I want to update it for datetime textbox instead of numeric any help please... See code below

Private Sub txtprojstart_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles txtprojstart.Validating
        If Not IsNumeric(txtprojstart.Text) And txtprojstart.Text <> "" Then
            ' Cancel the event moving off of the control.
            e.Cancel = True
            ' Select the offending text.
            txtprojstart.Select(0, txtprojstart.Text.Length)
            ' Give the ErrorProvider the error message to display.
            ErrorProvider.SetError(txtprojstart, "Enter correct date format")
        End If
    End Sub]

Private Sub txtprojstart_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtprojstart.Validated
        ErrorProvider.SetError(txtprojstart, "")
    End Sub

thanks

Any reason why you are not just using numeric up/down controls and date/time calender control?

In case you really need it there is an IsDate method just like the IsNumeric.
