Okay and what is the problem with the code that you have written that attempts to validate this string?

Member 9377809 30-Jun-14 0:08am

Regex regex = new Regex("^([0-9]|/|-)*$");

if (regex.IsMatch(txtFinancialYear.Text))
{
man = man + "This is a number only field <br /";
return;
}

You can use a MaskedTextBox control and put aaaa-aaaa on its custom mask wizard window (little arrow next to the control when you click it on the design). No code for that, and you will get ____-____.
