Validating emails

Hi

I have this problem that client users enter emails incorrectly due to type
and either the domain name is invalid (Microsot.com instead of
Microsoft.com) or the syntax of the email (user'domain.co m instead of
us**@domain.com). Is there any way to ensure a) email syntax is correct and
b) reverse dns or any other check to highlight invalid domain names?

Thanks

Regards

I doubt it. You could use regular expressions to make sure the e-mail
is in a valid format. I would bet there's code here somewhere that
does is. Have a look around.

Hi, I have a validating event on a textbox in which I want to prevent the user to leave the textbox without entering the right data. Only if he clicks on another specific control he is allowed to leave the textbox without entering the right information. Is there a way to determine which other control was clicked in the validating event of the textbox? Thanks

Hi There I have spent alot of time trying to get a masked text box to validate e-mails, but with no success. Mainly because I can't figure out how to account for the wide variety of different e-mail addresses, for example: billwallis@hta.com bill.wallis@hta.com billwallis@hta.com.au bill.wallis@hta.com.au

I have 4 dropdown boxes (fromDay, fromMonth, ToDay and ToMonth) I want to be able to test to make sure that the dates are valid and the the From dates are < the To dates. When I add the records to the database, I typically use something like: FromMonth.SelectedValue & "/01/" & FromYear.SelectedValue I also have other validators on the screen for emails and required fields.

Hi For a while now I have been finding postings of problems with the validating event not firing on controls properly. I too had this problem. The event would fire when clicking on another control which had it's causes validation property set to true however if I tabbed on to this control the event wouldn't fire. So after playing around with my code I figured out how to get it to work. I am not sure what the reason behind it is but it...

I have a form with a textbox and numerous panels, buttons and other controls. I have handled the textbox Validating and Validated events. The textbox will hold a filename. In the validating event, I check that the string in the textbox is a file that exists or whether or not the string is blank and display a message box in either case. I also call e.Cancel so that the value will be corrected. However, certain buttons on the form...

I am experiencing some strange behavior between a UserControl's validating event and a treeview control. Initially, I thought it was related to an issue in the Knowledgebase article 810852 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810852), but then I realized that the hotfix mentioned was in .Net v1.1, which I am using. I took the sample from that article and recreated the situation I see in my application. (Code included below.) If you run the...

Like many people, I normally use Yahoo! Mail via the web and like to keep all my emails stored on the Yahoo! server. However sometimes I can’t get access to a PC/the web and I download my emails to a PDA/palmtop via POP3. The PDA uses Windows Mobile software. Since using the PDA, I have had the problem of emails disappearing from the Yahoo! server. However I think I now understand how to avoid this. It seems that Windows Mobile is...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
