    VB.NET - Email Validation Function

    Simple regular expression I found and have used succesfully to validate emails submitted to my website.

    VB Code:
    1. Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
    2.  
    3.     Function EmailAddressCheck(ByVal emailAddress As String) As Boolean
    4.  
    5.         Dim pattern As String = "^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$"
    6.         Dim emailAddressMatch As Match = Regex.Match(emailAddress, pattern)
    7.         If emailAddressMatch.Success Then
    8.             EmailAddressCheck = True
    9.         Else
    10.             EmailAddressCheck = False
    11.         End If
    12.  
    13.     End Function

    Sorry Scuzymoto,

    I am still an amatuer at regular expression.
    Can you explain the use of ""^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]@[a-zA-Z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$" ?

    This seems to reject underscores _ in the email address, as in:

    Test_Email@test.com
