This is the function I got maybe you could modify it to what you want. Enjoy :) Public Function validate_Numeric(ByVal text() As Control) As String erp.BlinkStyle = ErrorBlinkStyle.NeverBlink Dim int As Integer = 0 Dim i As Control For Each i In text Dim nt As String = i.Name If Not (i.Text) = Nothing Then If IsNumeric(i.Text) = True Then ' Clear the error if any in the error provider. erp.SetError(i erp.GetError(i)) Else ' Set the error if the name is not valid. erp.SetError(i Field should be a numeric value.) erp.SetIconAlignment(i ErrorIconAlignment.TopRight) int = 1 End If Else erp.SetError(i erp.GetError(i)) End If Next If int = 1 Then Return Please enter right values Else Return  End If End Function
