RegularExpressionValidator Control in ASP.Net

Pushpendra Singh10276 10-Nov-2010

Using RegularExpressionValidator server control, you can check a user's input based on a pattern that you define using a regular expression. This means that you can define a structure that a user's input will be applied against to see if its structure matches the one that you define.

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="RegularExpressionValidator">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

The RegularExpressionValidator control is used to ensure that an input value matches a specified pattern.

The validation will not fail if the input control is empty. Use the RequiredFieldValidator control to make the field required.

Properties:

ControlToValidate

The id of the control to validate

Error Message

The text to display in the page when validation fails. Note: This text will also be displayed in the validation control if the Text property is not set

Validation Expression

Specifies the expression used to validate input control.

Code:

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="email id"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ErrorMessage="enter a valid email id" ValidationExpression="\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
 
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
