Remarks

Use the EmailRegularExpression property to specify a regular expression that validates the email address entered by the user to confirm that it matches a specific pattern. A common use is to make sure that the user has entered a complete email address, such as user@contoso.com. The regular expression is used in addition to any restrictions placed on the email address by the membership provider specified in the MembershipProvider property. If the membership provider rejects the email address for any reason, the text contained in the InvalidEmailErrorMessage property is displayed.

The address is only compared to the regular expression if the RequireEmail property is set to true.

If the email address does not pass the regular expression, the text contained in the EmailRegularExpressionErrorMessage property is displayed to the user.
