Hello, i am creating a program which have few texboxes and they should be numeric only. I mean u can type number or ".". Here is the code

        
private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            bool isNumber = char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar);
            bool isPeriod = (e.KeyChar.Equals('.'));
            bool isControl = (char.IsControl(e.KeyChar)); e.Handled = (!isNumber && !isControl && !isPeriod);
        }

The problem is that I have to type this in each texbox. Now there is only 3 lines of code, but if there was lot more i think this is not the best way. So the question is, how i can make some method and call it and also if there is a way to make each textbox in form numeric only.

Your options are:
1. Create a helper method that takes the EventArgs.
2. In the designer, make all the Keypress event handlers of the different text boxes point to one event handler method.
3. Derive a NumbersOnlyTextBox class that overrides onkeypress() and add this instead of a regular textbox to your form at design time.
4. At runtime, iterate over all the textboxes in the form and make all the Keypress event handlers point to one event handler method.

Could you show me 2th and 4th option examples?

I figured out how to do 2nd option. But still could you show me 4th?

Psuedo code for the 4th option:

foreach(var control in myForms.Controls)
{
    if control is a TextBox
        ((TextBox) control).KeyPress += myEventHandler
}

You'll have to do that recursively if any of your textboxes are embedded within panels, or custom controls.
