key down, suppress key problem

[chrishoney]

i have a telephone number textbox that i have used the key down event to suppress any other keys besides 0-9 and the backspace key. i have a label beside it.
i want to display a message on lbltelephone when the user presses an alphabetic key that the textbox is for numbers only,and the message should disapper when the user inputs correct values...
currently i have

e.suppresskeypress=true
lbltelephone.text="no"

If keypress is invalid

Else
lbltelephone.text=""
end if

@ Chris,

There was no need to start a new thread! I ask a mod to move the old one and have posted a vb.net solution in the thread here.

Edit:

See post #10.

What are you going to do if the user pastes a value into the textbox?
