Email address validation in vb.net

Hi,

I am new to .net although ok with vb6.

I am trying to validate email addresses by two ways.

Firstly I would like to use a simple function containing a reg exp to say boolean true or false but don't seem to be getting any joy with regular expressions.

Secondly I would like to try to use the aspnetmx code to validate the email address and have looked at the examples in the knowledge base and downloaded the evaluation but again I don't seem to be getting any joy.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Tom

 

Got the regular expression working now, still after any help with the aspnetmx code for vb.net

 

Getting on ok with rest of code, will revisit this when I have more knowledge!
