Quick and dirty way of creating Numeric TextBox in .Net (C#)

Handle KeyDown event of the TextBox and set the e.Handled property to true if the character is not numeric.

this.myNumericTextBox.KeyDown +=
                       new KeyEventHandler(this.myNumericTextBox_KeyDown); 

 

private void myNumericTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            switch (e.KeyData)
            {
                case Keys.D0:
                case Keys.D1:
                case Keys.D2:
                case Keys.D3:
                case Keys.D4:
                case Keys.D5:
                case Keys.D6:
                case Keys.D7:
                case Keys.D8:
                case Keys.D9:
                case Keys.End:
                case Keys.Enter:
                case Keys.Home:
                case Keys.Back:
                case Keys.Delete:
                case Keys.Escape:
                case Keys.Left:
                case Keys.Right:
                    break;
                case Keys.Decimal:
                case (Keys)190: //decimal point
                    if (myNumericTextBox.Text.Contains('.'))
                    {
                        e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
                        e.Handled = true;
                    }
                    break;
                default:
                    e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
                    e.Handled = true;
                    break;
            }

        }

Switch cases list all desired characters which will be displayed, rest of the characters are ignored. If additional characters are required, they may be included as switch cases. For instance, negative sign may be allowed based on your requirement.
