How to know if Email is Valid or Not in VB.NET

[musti 9688]

Hi! this is donbermoy again! :) For now i will teach you how to code for the validation of email address when you input it. Email address has two parts namely the local part of the address which is the part before the @ sign, and the domain name in which the email message will be sent.

So, now let's start this tutorial!

1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application.

2. Next, add a TextBox named TextBox1 for the inputting of an e-mail address and one Button named Button1 that will decide if the email is valid or not. You must design your layout like this:

3. Now, put this code in Button1_Click. This will display the result of the valid or invalid email address you've entered in the TextBox.

1. Imports
   
   System.
   
   Text
   
   .
   
   RegularExpressions
   
2. Public
   
   Class
   
   Form1
   
3. 
   
4. Private
   
   Sub
   
   Button1_Click(
   
   ByVal
   
   sender As
   
   System.
   
   Object
   
   , ByVal
   
   e As
   
   System.
   
   EventArgs
   
   )
   
   Handles
   
   Button1.
   
   Click
   
5. Dim
   
   expression As
   
   String
   
6. expression =
   
   "^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-\.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$"
   
7. If
   
   Regex.
   
   IsMatch
   
   (
   
   TextBox1.
   
   Text
   
   , expression)
   
   Then
   
8. MsgBox
   
   (
   
   "Valid Email address "
   
   )
   
9. Else
   
10. MsgBox
    
    (
    
    "Not a valid Email address "
    
    )
    
11. End
    
    If
    
12. End
    
    Sub
    
13. End
    
    Class
    

Explanation:

We have imported System.

Text

.

RegularExpressions

because we will use regular expression function to commnunicate with our input. We also initialized expression As String to hold the string value of "^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-\.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$". VB.NET provides an extensive set of regular expression tools that enable to efficiently compare strings as well as rapidly parse large amounts of text and data to search for, remove, and replace text patterns for validating an email address. Regex.

IsMatch

(

TextBox1.

Text

, expression)

- this syntax indicates whether the specified regular expression finds a match in the specified input string of our textbox and compare its regural expression to our variable expression. If the comparing was right, then it will display, "Valid Email address ". Otherwise, it will prompt the user "Not a valid Email address ".
