Regular expression in asp.net

•Use regular expressions for constrain input, apply format rules, and check lengths of string or input data.
•Use the ASP.NET Regular Expression Validator control for constrain and validate input with given condition.
•Use the Regular Expression (regexes) class to constrain and validate client input data.
•knowledge common regular expressions that can be used to constrain input data in programming.

 Example of regular expressions can be used to parse dates, url(universal resource locator) and email addresses, file type, log files, text, String, Numeric values, configuration files, command line switches or programming scripts.
