RegularExpressionValidator to validate website URL, date format, numbers and decimal in asp.net textbox

Introduction: In this article I am going to share the following:
    Validate using RegularExpressionValidator in Asp.Net
  • How to check whether website address valid or not in asp.net
  • How to allow only numbers i.e. numeric values or digits in textbox
  • How to allow both number and decimal values in textbox
  • How to validate date format e.g. dd/mm/yyyy in textbox

In previous articles i explained How to Validate textbox, dropdownlist, checkboxlist, radiobuttonlist, listbox, checkbox and radiobutton controls and Jquery to validate email address using regular expression in asp.net

Implementation: Let’s create a demo page to demonstrate the validation.
