The RegularExpressionValidator control confirms that the entry matches a pattern defined by a
regular expression. This type of validation allows you to check for predictable sequences of characters,
such as those in social security numbers, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, postal codes, and so on.
RegularExpressionValidator uses two key properties to perform its validation: ControlToValidate contains
the value to validate, and ValidationExpression contains the regular expression to match.
The following sample illustrates using the RegularExpressionValidator control.
