Validating e-mail with regular expression VB.Net

Question

I\'m working on a small project in VB.Net where I get a input from a textbox, and need to verify that this is an e-email address.

I found this expression \"^[_a-z0-9

Possibly off-topic since it's not a regex solution, but you could just use some of the built in features of .NET 2.0:

try
{
   MailAddress email = new MailAddress(txtEmail.Text);
}
catch(FormatException fe)
{
   // output error
}
