Accept Year Values in TextBox C#

I am a first-timer here. Not aware of the rules exactly.

My question is this: I have a TextBox and I want this TextBox to accept years only. The format of the text must be like 2012-2013

Any ideas?

Welcome to Stack...

Here is a Regular expression that should work for you

^([0-9]{4})[./-]+([0-9]{4})$ //Results in 2012-2013 or 2012/2013

And as for adding it to your app, here is an article that could help you.

Put this regex in your code

^[12][0-9]{3}$
