How would I make a validator to make sure a textbox is laid out: string, string
(two string separated by ", "

Any guidance on how to create a reg express to chec for ', '

 

[DotNetGnat]

something like this:

 <asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="RegularExpressionValidator1" runat="server"
            ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
            ValidationExpression="[red]you need to put your regular expression here[/red]"
            Display="Static">

-DNG

Hmmm I tried:

ValidationExpression="/\,\s/g"

And it does not validate anything - any ideas?

I want the textbox to have string, string

 

[DotNetGnat]

try this:

^[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9],[a-zA-Z][\w\.-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]

-DNG

I am not that good at regular expressions myself...so not sure if the above one works...after googlig for a bit i think you may need this:

^\s*[a-zA-Z,\s]+\s*$

try it out...
