Hi All

I have an DatagridViewTextbox Column inside DataGridView1.

I want to accept a textbox value like
6.11
06.11
11.11
.11

means max length should be 5.
ie 2 digits after dot.
and also it should start with dot or a number.

Advance thanks to you.

Regards,
Pawan.

Use Regex for the same. On textchange or similar event you can verify the value entered using a Regular Expression and act accordingly.

Any reason why you can't use MaskedTextBox?
