I have a simple textbox with an email address.
I need to know the best and easiest way to find out whether that email address is valid or not. I want to know how I can do that.
I have tried using the below code but it does not display any message for me? Can anyone point the mistake I am making?
Public Function IsValidEmailAddress(ByVal email As String) As Boolean
Try
Dim ma As New MailAddress(email)

View 4 RepliesI was wondering how i would be able to validate a textbox for the E-MAIL address of a person. For example it cant have anything like "`#[]-=+->~| etc. it MUST have an @ and a .com or .co.uk at the end of the e-mail. anyway i was wondering how i would be able to program this when the user types into the textbox they cant put in any of the other symbols?and IF there is a missing @ or .com then the user should receive an error message telling them to make sure that they put them in.how would i program that on a button?

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"
[Code]....
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?
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?

I use this code to send an email through gmail account but the thing I want to do is, I want to check whether the given email and password exists or not and if it exists then pop out a text box with the body of the mail and type the text and then send it as a mail. 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 RepliesI have to make a basic program that: Create a program with a simple interface that
1. Asks the user type his/her email address into a textbox.
2. When the user clicks the "Evaluate Email Address" button, one of two message boxes pops up: "That is a valid email address!" with an "Information" icon, or "That is an invalid email address!" and on a second line, "Please retype your email address.", with an "Exclamation" icon
3. To be considered valid, the email address must -include an "@" symbol, and -it must end in either ".com", ".net", or ".org" or ".edu" (I don't know how to check a string and test if its last four characters end with any of these and make it say not valid email address. I think I might have to use a case statement)

I'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 have my program all working, but i need to pass an additional piece of information and noticed that when you are in the debug mode and you expand the email address there is a DisplayName when you break down User and Host in the To field

I am working on a web form that instead of having the user enter their email address, I would like to be able to retrieve that information and assign it to a variable. So everything remains transparent. So basically what I am asking is. Whether or not vb.net has a class that allows you to get the users email.

I am trying to send emails from a simple form using ASP.NET (VB/C# I don't really care), and what does my head in severely is the fact that it seems so much harder to send an email using ASP.NET than it is in WinForms!
In WinForms, I can write some code to send an email in 2 minutes. But after reading tutorial after tutorial on ASP.NET I cannot figure out how to do it! It's so weird.
One thing that I don't get is that NONE of the examples demonstrate the use of mail.Username = ""; or mail.Password = ""; (For Example). They don't seem to use usernames or passwords when connecting to the server.
How can I send an email in asp.net just like I do in C# WinForms, or atleast if not the same way, is there a simple way?
I have a form that successfully captures data, but I want to limit the the amount of entries by a user based on their email address. I am using SQL Server and VB.NET and would like to be able to check against the database, and if your email addess is in the system, popp up a message that says, "Sorry, you have already entered the system with that email address".
