Regex Email validation

Solution 1:

TLD's like .museum aren't matched this way, and there are a few other long TLD's. Also, you can validate email addresses using the MailAddress class as Microsoft explains here in a note:

Instead of using a regular expression to validate an email address, you can use the System.Net.Mail.MailAddress class. To determine whether an email address is valid, pass the email address to the MailAddress.MailAddress(String) class constructor.

public bool IsValid(string emailaddress)
{
    try
    {
        MailAddress m = new MailAddress(emailaddress);

        return true;
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

This saves you a lot af headaches because you don't have to write (or try to understand someone else's) regex.

EDIT: For those who are allergic to try/catch: In .NET 5 you can use MailAddress.TryCreate. See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/68198658, including an example how to fix .., spaces, missing .TLD, etc.

Solution 2:

I think @"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$" should work.
You need to write it like

string email = txtemail.Text;
Regex regex = new Regex(@"^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$");
Match match = regex.Match(email);
if (match.Success)
    Response.Write(email + " is correct");
else
    Response.Write(email + " is incorrect");

Be warned that this will fail if:

1. There is a subdomain after the @ symbol.

2. You use a TLD with a length greater than 3, such as .info
