Hello,

I would like to do several checks on a field "First name".

I would like to check for the following:

No numbers
No spaces
Two characters or more

Anyone know the best way to achieve this?

Regards,

Gary.

I assume that you also don't want characters like !"£$%^&*()_-+= and so on??

In which case:

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

Regex rx = new Regex(@"^[a-zA-Z]{2,}$");

if (rx.IsMatch(txtFirstName.Text))
{
...
}

Off the top of my head, but HTH

Hi,
For the "First name" field validation the expression [A-Z][a-z]+ maybe
will be more suitable.

Could be - but it wasn't what the spec said.

It seems to be logical , but I don't insist.

Whoever saw a logical spec??

Sorry, my cynicism is showing.
