Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. I'm trying to validate an
email address entered into an input textbox. Does anyone have any code for
this?

Hi Michael,

To validate a string, we can use a regular expression to achieve this. Use
a patter to find match. Here is an example.

Regex regex = new Regex(@"^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$",
RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
return regex.IsMatch("***@bbb.com");

If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know.
