Do you use a regular expression to validate an email address?

A regex is the best way to verify an email address.

public bool IsValidEmail(string email)
{
 // Return true if it is in valid email format.
 if (email.IndexOf("@") <= 0) return false; 
 if (email.EndWith("@")) return false; 
 if (email.IndexOf(".") <= 0) return false; 
 if ( ... 
}

public bool IsValidEmail(string email) 
{ 
 // Return true if it is in valid email format.
 return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch( email, 
 @"^([\w-\.]+)@(([[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$";
}
