Here's one way, and I quote

The RegularExpressionValidator Control
The regular expression validator is one of the more powerful features of ASP.NET. Everyone loves regular expressions. Especially when you write those really big nasty ones... and then a few days later, look at it and say to yourself. What does this do?
Again, the simple usage is:

E-mail: <asp:textbox id="textbox1" runat="server"/>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="valRegEx" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="textbox1"
ValidationExpression=".*@.*\..*"
ErrorMessage="* Your entry is not a valid e-mail address."
display="dynamic">*
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
