You can do this Using the Programmatically also see this

string number = "15-,6";
       bool flag1, flag2;
 
       for (int i = 0; i < number.Length; i++)
       {
         if (Char.IsNumber(number[i]))
         {
           flag1 = IsWholeNumber(number[i].ToString());
         }
         else
         {
           if (number[i]=='-' | number[i]==',')
           {
             flag2 = true;
           }
         }
 
       }
       if (flag1 && flag2 )
       {
         //Show a Message that Number Contains ',','-' and Whole Number Too
       }
public bool IsWholeNumber(string strNumber)
    {
      System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex _RegexNotWholePattern
        = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("[^0-9]");
      return !_RegexNotWholePattern.IsMatch(strNumber);
    }

Use below Code :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

      Dim myRegex As New Regex("[0-9,-]")

      If myRegex.IsMatch(TextBox1.Text) Then

        'Write Your Code Here....

        MessageBox.Show("Match")

      End If

End Sub


i had checked it at my side and it works perfectly...

Hope this will helpful to you...
