if you want gms rs know then make a selectbox and put them right to textbox. If your requirement doesn't match this then let me know. — Anirudha Gupta, Sep 21 '13 at 04:43

Can you add the KeyPress event for the corresponding textbox? So that you can do the following!

private void textBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
   if ((label.Text.Equals("gms") || label.Text.Equals("rs") || label.Text.Equals("knot"))
   { 
      if (!char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar))
      {
         e.Handled = true;
      }
   }
   else
   {
      if (!char.IsLetter(e.KeyChar))
      {
         e.Handled = true;
      }
   }
}

Apply a regular validator on your text box with validation expression "^[0-9]" which accept only numbers initially make it disabled

you can then enable disable it according to the text of your label making the text box to accept all or only numbers

Try this, maybe this is something that you're looking for:

private void textBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
           if ((label.Text.Equals("gms") || label.Text.Equals("rs") || label.Text.Equals("knot")))
           { 
              if (!char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) && !char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) && e.KeyChar != '.')
                {
                    e.Handled = true;
                }

              // only allow one decimal point
              if (e.KeyChar == '.' && (sender as TextBox).Text.IndexOf('.') > -1)
              {
                  e.Handled = true;
              }
           }
        }

how to call this text_keypress function from ASPX page – Gopi Sep 26 '13 at 16:30
Here is an example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13158752/fire-event-on-enter-key-press-for-a-asp-net-textbox – Sylca Sep 27 '13 at 09:20
@Sylca : I think KeyPressEventArgs cannot be called in web applications (System.Web doesn't have definition for that, its a member of System.Windows.Forms)... – Vanest Oct 07 '13 at 07:54

Although you want to implement the solution in c#. Better suggestion would be is to implement in javascript.

Add simple javascript function to in aspx page and no code in codebehind file.

$(document).ready(function () {

var arrForNum = ['gms', 'rs', 'knot']; //Your list of label texts for Number only textboxes
// Now traverse for all textboxes where u want to add some restrictons

$('body').find('.customonly').each(function () {
    var id = this.id;
    var res = $('label[for=' + id + ']').text();    
   // check if its the array we declared else it will be charecters only. 
    if ($.inArray(res, arrForNum) >= 0) {
        $(this).forceNumeric();  // Added simple function in fiddle.
       //You can apply any other function here if required.
    } else {
        $(this).forceCharecters('chars');
    }
  });
});

Check the JsFiddle for detailed code.

private void txt3_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{

    for (int h = 58; h <= 127; h++)
    {
        if (e.KeyChar == h)             //58 to 127 is alphabets tat will be         blocked
        {
            e.Handled = true;
        }

    }

    for(int k=32;k<=47;k++)
    {
        if (e.KeyChar == k)              //32 to 47 are special characters tat will 
        {                                  be blocked
            e.Handled = true;
