If you are using 2.0 you can use the Masked edit control for this. In 1.1 /
1.0 you would normally need to implement the code to check for this in the
KeyPress / KeyDown events and cancel any key strokes that are not allowed.

Something like:

if txtBox.text.indexof(".") > 0 then
if txtBox.text.substring(txtBox.text.indexof("."),
txtBox.text.length).length > 4 then
cancel the event
else
let the textbox add the value
end
end

David,

..NET 1.x WinForms doesn't have such a control. It has been added for .NET
2.0 version of the library, see MaskedTextBox class.

In .NET1.x VB (C# also I believe) programmers can use old active ActiveX
MaskEdBox from the MSMASK32.OCX.

There are some managed solutions out there you just need to google for them.
For example I found this one:
