• Visual Basic How would I restrict input for a textbox.

  I have some textboxes that I only want numbers in and only want a range of numbers to be valid. Also I do not want to use NUDs. I already have the textboxes connected to functons and subs so I do not really want to change them. How would I do this I used following code to be sure that the input values in textboxes were a number between 0,1 to 25.

• .NET Development How to manage *.lnk files

  Hello, My winforms application is watching for each files inside one specific folder and treats file according to its type. When I encounter a LNK file, a shortcut, I would like to access the file that is linked to that shortcut. Is there a way to do this I have looked in system.io but found nothing. I am using .Net 1.1 still. Thanks a lot for any help, Claude Unfortunately, there's no managed wrapper for dealing with links.
