how can i check the website whether it is in valid format / type when user input the webiste url in the textbox....
the code below is used to check email expression
Regex.IsMatch(txtEmail.Text, _
"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\] )$") = False

i have found out the sulution.........i check the url by using the code below..
If Not txtWebsite.Text = "" And Regex.IsMatch(txtWebsite.Text, "http://([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]*(/[\w- ./ %=]*) ") = False Then
epAddMerchant.SetError(txtWebsite, "Invalid website type")
Else
epAddMerchant.SetError(txtWebsite, "")
End If
hopefully this will help others who need this expression...

hehehe,
There's another really good way to do it. Take advantage of a couple of the small black boxes:
This is a couple of lines from a function that among other things validates a URL:
Dim a As UriTry : a = New Uri(URL) : Catch : Return Nothing : URL = Nothing : End Try
The function returns Nothing if the input string is not a valid URL string. It continue processing if is valid.
