Dim y As RegularExpressionValidator = New RegularExpressionValidator
y.ValidationExpression =
"^\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*$"
y.ControlToValidate = "ss5ssss"
Dim gg As Boolean = y.IsValid

Franz:
If that's ur code, it doesn't work like that. You don't simply assign the
controlToValidate and the isValid will be set accordingly. During the
RaisePostBackEvent, the page calls Validate() on the control which forces
the validation.

You might try modifyning your code to do:

Dim y As RegularExpressionValidator = New RegularExpressionValidator
y.ValidationExpression =
"^\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*$"
y.ControlToValidate = "ss5ssss"
y.Validate()
Dim gg As Boolean = y.IsValid

But I'm not sure if it'll work because it'll never render. To be honest, if
you aren't rendering a control, why not just use a System.Text.Regex ??
