how to validate a textBox for 0-9 Digits only

[RSB]

Hi every one,
how do i check the text box that one can only enter the numeric Digits. i
have the maxlength of the Text box as 6. so one way i thought was to
validate the Number between 0 and 999999. so is there any other way ..say
using the RegularExpressionValidator control.

Thanks
RSB

Use a comparevalidator

Dim blah As CompareValidator

blah.Operator = ValidationCompareOperator.DataTypeCheck

blah.Type = ValidationDataType.Integer

You could also have used something along the lines of

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="Validator1" ASPClass="RegularExpressionValidator" ControlToValidate="YouTextField" ValidationExpression="[0-9]{6,}"runat="server"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

Sorry, I typed in the wrong closing tag obviously...closing tag should be
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

You could use a RegularExpressionValidator along with a RequiredFieldValidator to check for blank spaces, the validation expression could be something like:

RegularExpressionValidator1.ValidationExpression = "^\d*[0-9]$"

so that you accept only digits from 0 to 9

Hope this helps
