You do not need to use a RegEx in order to test for digits:

private void TxtBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     if (!Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar))
          e.Handled = true;
}

To allow for backspace:

private void TxtBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     if (!(Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) || (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.Back)))
          e.Handled = true;
}

If you want to add other allowable keys, look at the Keys enumeration and use the approach above.
