SharePoint Connections Conference 2010 – Amsterdam

Dominick Cosgrove — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 11:53:00 +0000

My college Adnan Ahmed recently attended the SharePoint Connections Conference in Amsterdam. He highly recommended the conference and said that the content was invaluable. He kindly passed on the links to the slides from the presentations and the videos, so I thought I would share them.

I have to say that the quality of the videos and the content is excellent. I’m personally off to the SharePoint 2010 Evolution Conference in London next month and I hope that they will be providing similar post conference material. It is impossible to attend all the sessions and these videos provide a great way to view the content at leisure after the conference. Last year I was slightly disappointed that there was no video material for the SharePoint Best Practice Conference in London.

Email Regular Expression Validation

Dominick Cosgrove — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:05:17 +0000

If you need to validate a email address either through Javascript, server side code or asp.net regular expression validator then the best expression I have found is by Mykola Dobrochynskyy on Code Project.

^(([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+|([a-zA-Z]{1}|[\w-]{2,}))@” + @”((([0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])\.([0-1]? [0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])\.” + @”([0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])\.([0-1]? [0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])){1}|” + @”([a-zA-Z]+[\w-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$

An example using this would be:

string regEx = @”^(([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+|([a-zA-Z]{1}|[\w-]{2,}))@” + @”((([0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])\.([0-1]? [0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])\.” + @”([0-1]?[0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])\.([0-1]? [0-9]{1,2}|25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9])){1}|” + @”([a-zA-Z]+[\w-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$”;

foreach (string recipient in recipients)
{
if(!Regex.IsMatch(recipient.Trim(), regEx))
{
throw new Exception();
}
}
