I would like to make an EditFor textbox accept numbers only

Question

This is my ViewModel:

[Required(ErrorMessageResourceType=typeof(Resources.ValidationsResources),
          ErrorMessageResourceName = "Required")]
[Range(0, 9999, 
       ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.ValidationsResources),
       ErrorMessageResourceName = "SomenteNumeros")]
public Int16 Quantidade { get; set;}

This is my View:

 <label class="Quantidade">
   <span>Quantidade</span>
   @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Quantidade)
 </label>

But I want to block all words in this editor and allow only numbers.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You need javascript for this. There are many jQuery plugins that could help you implement this.

Answer 2

Use a regular expression, e.g.

[RegularExpression("([1-9][0-9]*)", ErrorMessage = "Count must be a natural number")]
public int Count { get; set; }
