  It does no detect "Verify"

  when i type:

  TextboxValidator.       <<<<< intelisense only gives me "equals" and "referenceEquals", but i don't see Verify

  also, i tried to chance "public class TextboxValidator"  to "static public class TexboxValidator" and also no works,

  i tried to put "using TextboxValidator in the file where i try to call the class and no works.

  -------------------------

  To make sure intelisense detect the methods, i put a TestMethod in the class and Intelisense detects the me Method when i create an instance

  TextboxValidator myValidator = new TextboxValidator();

  myValidator.TestMethod();   //>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WORKS

  using System;
  using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
  
  public class TextboxValidator
  {
      /// <summary>
      /// Test string using Regex.IsMatch static method.
      /// </summary>
  
      static bool Verify(string value)
      {
          return Regex.IsMatch(value, @"^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$");
      }
  
      public void TestMethod( )

      {
     // this is for test intelisense
      }
  
  
  }

  The default access for a method is private.  You need to make Verify public

  public static bool Verify(string value)

  Got a c# problem? Try .NET Book Zero from Charles Petzold, it's a free pdf.

  Works great!!! Thank you!!!  now i can verify several Textboxes with the same class

  Thanks again!!

  ---------------------------------------

  using System;
  using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
  
  public class TextboxValidator
  {
     
      /// Test string using Regex.IsMatch static method. to check textboxes if users input text and numbers only
    
  
      public static bool Verify(string value)
      {

  This how i use the class from other files:

   if (!TextboxValidator.Verify(TextBoxUsername.Text).Equals(true))
          
          {
              Label1.Text = "symbols are not allowed *Please enter letters and numbers only";
              Label1.Visible = true;
              
          }

  no need create an instance to call "Verify"

  Get rid of the

  .Equals(true)

  it does nothing (apart from slow your code down)

  Yes, you are right and make sense, since the method is bool, for default is true and no needs compare or Equals.

  thanks again
