I'm trying to validate an IP address in dot decimal format e.g. 127.55.21.1
System.Net.IPAddress.TryParse(IP, Nothing)
This though returns numbers like "500" or "9" as valid. Why does it do this? Do I have to set the IP address version, if so how would I do this?
What is the cleanest, most readable way to String.Format a decimal with the following criteria
start with a sign symbol (+ or -)
a fixed number of fraction digits
no decimal separator
right aligned
pre-padded with "0"'s

View 6 RepliesI'm having some problems with validating Urls and IP addresses with RegEx.
This regular expression doesn't work properly. For example, it returns True for "www.123.123.123.123" and "http://www.123.123.123.123".
vb.net
Regex.IsMatch(txtTextBox.Text, "(((http|https)://)|(www.))+(([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,6})|([0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}))")

I currently have a calculation that gets performed based on the type of operation a user chooses on my form (+, -, *, or /). I have it check their answer against the correct answer and tell them if they get the answer right or wrong. I need to know how I can check the answer when they choose a division sign that checks only the first two digits of the lbltxtAnswer label. I also currently have a validation that checks for numbers only, so if the user types in a decimal, the error message displays, which I don't want it to do. Here is my calculation and validation [code]...

I'm allowing users to manage a distribution list stored in a database. Users are only allowed to enter emails that are @mydomain.com. A web based application then takes the distribution list and sends emails. I'd like to validate that the email is valid before sending an email from the application.
To send an email I'm using this code:
Dim SendTo As String = "ThisIsNotARealEmailAddress@mydomain.com"
Dim SentFrom As String = "me@mydomain.com"
Dim MessageBody As String = "blah blah blah"

Is there anyway to validate the email when the email address is added to the database, instead of a try catch block when sending the email?
As the title of the question, I need to validate regex using the following values:
(Maximum 2 decimal places, and 9 integers) with an optional percent symbol.

15.2%

2.3
Invalid:
.%

I tried:
^[0-9]{0,9}([.][0-9]{0,2})d[\%]{0,1}?$
But It does not work as I want.
I am using this regex string in one of my programs to validate email adresses: "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+.[a-z]{2,4}$". This works well for the most part, but I just found out that it doesn't catch an address like this ... "john.doe.@yahoo.com" ... where there's a "." right before the "@", which is invalid, so my program tries to send it & throws an exception. How to modify my regex string to catch this situation?

But in the above code you have to log in and type body and when you send the mail , It verifies for the email and password while sending and if anything goes wrong says there is no such gmail account.but i want to check it whether the email and password exists or not, when the user enters the email and password at the beginning itself.So that he enters the right email to log on to compose a mail.Is there any way to check whether the given email and password is correct at the beginning only ?

View 2 RepliesHow to validate the Date format "MM-yyyy" irrespective of the culture datetimeformat
View 2 RepliesI need to validate user input in some fields, where these are defining how to show time in some views.
Requirements: Time format must be expressed in Microsoft .NET way (check this MSDN Library article if you want to learn more about framework's date and time formatting: [URL]. Keep in mind I'm looking to validate the format instead of an actual time string.
For example, user may input:
HH:mm
hh:mm
ss
hh:ss
mm:ss
... and so on.
In fact, it should validate from the shortest to longest time format available. Another point is I need to do it in client-side using JavaScript. In other words, any given regular expression by you should work in browsers JavaScript regular expressions' engine. I can't use ASP.NET validation engine, or any other. Because of project's requirements, I need to avoid that.
I would like to easily validate dates in this format, e.g., 31-JUL-2010 and only this format. Any other format should be considered invalid.
