Hello All,


I want to validate my textbox and email fields not to contain
>> << < > ( ) { } [ ] ? & * ~ ` ! # $ % ^ = + | \ : ' " , ; these special characters and can contain - _ @ / . these sepcial characters.

How can i do it?

Thanks in advance,
Regards.

The simple regex is easy: @"[^\<\>...]" where the elipsis is the list of individual characters you want to prohibit.

However, I would suggest that a better email address validation would be a good idea, especially since '@' is not a legal character in an email address (it is the separator between the domain and the local addresses and cannot be used for any other reason): have a look at this[^]
