ValidationExpression for a single number

[TD]

Is it possible to validate (or in this case, invalidate) an exact
number with a RegularExpressionValidator?

I know that it can be done with javascript but what about regular
expressions?

Any 5 digit number between 00000 and 99999 is ok EXCEPT 61280.

I'm handling the "any 5 digits" portion with this "^\d{5}$" .... Does
anyone know how to disallow 61280 ?

Thanks, TD

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator
ValidationExpression=""
Runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtsubacct_no"
ErrorMessage="61280 is not valid"
Display="Dynamic"
ID="regexV1">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

You don't need a regular expression for this.

Instead, use a RangeValidator with Type=Integer, Min=0 and Max=99999.
Then add a CompareValidator with ValueToCompare=61280, Type=Integer,
Operator=NotEquals
