We can do validation on text box changed event. The following implementation prevents keypress input other than numeric and one decimal point.

private void textBoxNumeric_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e) 
{         
      TextBox textBox = sender as TextBox;         
      Int32 selectionStart = textBox.SelectionStart;         
      Int32 selectionLength = textBox.SelectionLength;         
      String newText = String.Empty;         
      int count = 0;         
      foreach (Char c in textBox.Text.ToCharArray())         
      {             
         if (Char.IsDigit(c) || Char.IsControl(c) || (c == '.' && count == 0))             
         {                 
            newText += c;                 
            if (c == '.')                     
              count += 1;             
         }         
     }         
     textBox.Text = newText;         
     textBox.SelectionStart = selectionStart <= textBox.Text.Length ? selectionStart :        textBox.Text.Length;     
}
