I found a source where it is 6 digits before and two after but i do not know how to change

What I have tried:

<asp:TextBox ID="txtrate" runat="server" onkeypress="if(event.keyCode<48 || event.keyCode>57)event.returnValue=false;" MaxLength="9">

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator runat="server" ID="RegularExpressionValidator1"
ValidationExpression="^((\d{5})*|([1-9]\d{0,5}))(\.\d{0,2})?$"
ControlToValidate="txtrate" Text="Input must be 123456.78 format."
Display="Dynamic" />

Development isn't a process where you find something on the internet and paste it into your app: you are supposed to think about it and work out how it works (or better write it yourself).
In this case, you don't need anything that complex:

^\d\.\d\d$

Will do it.

Try to state a question with a sentence telling what you want.
Use Improve question to update your question.

I guess you want to validate an input with another format than the example you found.
The tool used to do this is called Regular Expressions (RegEx)
Try this expression: ^\d\.\d{2}$
Here are tools to help you find what a RegEx is doing:
Debuggex: Online visual regex tester. JavaScript, Python, and PCRE.[^]
.NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm[^]
Expresso Regular Expression Tool[^]
Here is some documentation worth reading:
perlre - perldoc.perl.org[^]
