Answer 1

Check out this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/edit/RegExTextbox.aspx. It would be the same concept except you would just override the TextChanged and KeyPress events from the TextBox class you would be inheriting.

Answer 2

Answer 3

It looks like you are using a UserControl and adding your TextBox in instead of extending the Textbox functionality. Your control would look like this public class DecimalTextBox : TextBox. You can keep the code how you have it, but you will need to add a property for accessing the text:

public string Text

{

get { return textBox1.Text; }

set { textBox1.Text = value; }

}

Any page containing that control will now have access to the text property of the textbox.
