I would just register to the Textbox TextChanged event. To validate a decimal number, you could either use a basic regex or Decimal.TryParse method. Both methods are shown below.

protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if(!Regex.IsMatch(TextBox1.Text, @"[0-9]+(\.[0-9][0-9]?)?"))
      TextBox1.BackColor = Color.Red;

   decimal value;
   if(!decimal.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, out value))
      TextBox1.BackColor = Color.Red;
}

One way to do it is with control extenders. You can

1. Check client side via ajax/javascript to be sure only one decimal is entered, and

2. You can reuse the extender on other textboxes on future forms.
