How do I make a textbox that only accepts numbers?

Question

I have a windows forms app with a textbox control that I want to only accept integer values. In the past I\'ve done this kind of validation by overloading the KeyPress event

This one works with copy and paste, drag and drop, key down, prevents overflow and is pretty simple

public partial class IntegerBox : TextBox 
{
    public IntegerBox()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.Text = 0.ToString();
    }

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)
    {
        base.OnPaint(pe);
    }

    private String originalValue = 0.ToString();

    private void Integerbox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        originalValue = this.Text;
    }

    private void Integerbox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            if(String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(this.Text))
            {
                this.Text = 0.ToString();
            }
            this.Text = Convert.ToInt64(this.Text.Trim()).ToString();
        }
        catch (System.OverflowException)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Value entered is to large max value: " + Int64.MaxValue.ToString(), "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
            this.Text = originalValue;
        }
        catch (System.FormatException)
        {                
            this.Text = originalValue;
        }
        catch (System.Exception ex)
        {
            this.Text = originalValue;
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK , MessageBoxIcon.Error);
        }
    }       
}
