How to allow only integers in a textbox?

You can use RegularExpressionValidator for this. below is the sample code:

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1"
    ControlToValidate="TextBox1" runat="server"
    ErrorMessage="Only Numbers allowed"
    ValidationExpression="\d+">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

above TextBox only allowed integer to be entered because in RegularExpressionValidator has field called ValidationExpression, which validate the TextBox. However, you can modify as per your requirement.

You can see more example in MVC and Jquery here.


Easy Method:-

You can use the onkeydown Property of the TextBox for limiting its value to numbers only..

Very easy..:-)

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" onkeydown = "return (!(event.keyCode>=65) && event.keyCode!=32);"></asp:TextBox>

!(keyCode>=65) check is for excludng the Albphabets..

keyCode!=32 check is for excluding the Space character inbetween the numbers..


Try this:

Note:This is using Ajax Toolkit

First add Ajax Script Manager and use the below Code

<asp:FilteredTextBoxExtender ID="TextBox1_FilteredTextBoxExtender" runat="server"
Enabled="True" TargetControlID="TextBox1" FilterType="Numbers">
</asp:FilteredTextBoxExtender>


<HTML>
   <HEAD>
   <SCRIPT language=Javascript>
      function isNumberKey(evt)
      {
         var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;
         if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))
            return false;    
         return true;
      }
   </SCRIPT>
   </HEAD>
   <BODY>
      <INPUT id="txtChar" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)" type="text" name="txtChar">
   </BODY>
</HTML>
