ASP.NET RegularExpressionValidator Control
 Complete Validation Control Reference
Definition and Usage
The RegularExpressionValidator control is used to ensure that an input value matches a specified pattern.
Note: Both server- and client-side validation are performed unless the browser
does not support client-side validation or the EnableClientScript property is
set to false.
Note: The validation will not fail if the input control is empty. Use
the RequiredFieldValidator control to make the field required.

Examples
RegularExpressionValidator
In this example we declare one TextBox control, one Button control, one Label
control, and one RegularExpressionValidator control in an .aspx
file. The submit() function checks if the page is valid.
If it is valid, it returns "The page is valid!" in the Label control. If it is not valid, it
returns "The page is not valid!" in the Label control. If validation
fails, the text "The zip code must be 5 numeric digits!" will be
displayed in the RegularExpressionValidator control.
