Validate numeric textbox using int.tryparse visual C#.NET

Hi there, I would like to post this simple example of tryparse method to validate a textbox. We use two textboxes and one button. The idea is to enter a value in textbox1 and show the validation result on textbox2 when the event is fired, a message will appear in the end which will depend on whether we entered a number or alphabet. (I haven't gone as far as validating symbol yet). I apologize before hand if it turns out there is a better example somewhere in this great forum. Here's how I wrote the syntax.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    int number2;
    if (int.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out number2))
    {
        textBox2.Text = ("tryparse method succeed");
    }
    else { textBox2.Text=("value entered is not numeric"); }
}
It's simple and easy, and it just happened its written out there in different examples, I thought I re-post it here, with a little modification. God bless whoever invented the initial tryparse and those who bother writing down the many examples of tryparse.
