RadMaskedEditBox with EMail MaskType

[Mustafa]

Hi, 

I am using RadMaskedEditBox with EMail MaskType on my project. I want to know if its text is a valid email or not on the code side but i couldn't find a way to do it. How can i get the bool value of valid email address of RadMaskedEditBox?

Hi Mustafa,

Thank you for writing.

You could subscribe your RadMaskedEditBox to the Validating event and in the handler perform a check if the text in the input is valid. Based on the result you can cancel the event and continue with your logic. Please see my code snippet below: 

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.MaskType.EMail;
    this.radMaskedEditBox1.Validating += radMaskedEditBox1_Validating;
}

private void radMaskedEditBox1_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    bool isValid = ((EMailMaskTextBoxProvider)this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.Provider).Validate(this.radMaskedEditBox1.Text);
    if (!isValid)
    {
        // TODO:...
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
