Does anyone know what the regex used by the email validator in ASP.NET is?

We can use RegularExpressionValidator to validate email address format. You need to specify the regular expression in ValidationExpression property of RegularExpressionValidator. So it will look like
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="validateEmail"
runat="server" ErrorMessage="Invalid email."
ControlToValidate="txtEmail"
ValidationExpression="^([\w\.\-]+)@([\w\-]+)((\.(\w){2,3})+)$" />
Also in event handler of button or link you need to check !Page.IsValid. Check sample code here : sample code
Also if you don't want to use RegularExpressionValidator you can write simple validate method and in that method usinf RegEx class of System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace.
