RegexStringValidator Class
Provides validation of a string based on the rules provided by a regular expression.
Assembly: System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)
The RegexStringValidator object contains the rules necessary to validate a string object based on a regular expression. The rules are established when an instance of the RegexStringValidator class is created.
The CanValidate method determines whether the object type being validated matches the expected type. The object being validated is passed as a parameter of the Validate method.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the RegexStringValidator type.
Imports System Imports System.Configuration Namespace Microsoft.Samples.AspNet.Validators Class UsingRegexStringValidator Public Shared Sub Main() ' Display title. Console.WriteLine("ASP.NET Validators") Console.WriteLine() ' Create RegexString and Validator. Dim testString As String = "someone@example.com" Dim regexString As String = _ "^[a-zA-Z\.\-_]+@([a-zA-Z\.\-_]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$" Dim myRegexValidator As RegexStringValidator = _ New RegexStringValidator(regexString) ' Determine if the object to validate can be validated. Console.WriteLine("CanValidate: {0}", _ myRegexValidator.CanValidate(testString.GetType())) Try ' Attempt validation. myRegexValidator.Validate(testString) Console.WriteLine("Validated.") Catch e As Exception ' Validation failed. Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", e.Message.ToString()) End Try ' Display and wait. Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Class End Namespace
