Error Catching Visual Basic 2005

[war4tek]

Hey Everyone,

I would like to validate that the input entered in is greater than 0 or is not blank. The problem that I am having with my code is that it will give the message but will continue on with the program and output the results. I would like for the program to stop and allow the user to correct the input value.

 Sub DataInput()
        err1 = "Please enter a value greater than zero"
        numDays = txtDays.Text
        If numDays <= 0 Or Nothing Then
            MsgBox(err1)
        End If
      
    more code here

End Sub

war4tek,

Write the code in the textbox's Validating event.

If the data in the textbox does not pass your validation rules, set e.Cancel = True to keep the user from leaving the textbox.
