Hey,

With this snippet you can validate a URL.

PHP Code:

Private Sub ValidatewebsiteAddress(ByVal _websiteAddress As String) If Not Regex.IsMatch(_websiteAddress, _ "^((ht|f)tp(s?)\:\/\/|~/|/)?([\w]+:\w+@)?([a-zA-Z]{1}([\w\-]+\.)+([\w]{2,5}))(:[\d]{1,5})?((/?\w+/)+|/?)(\w+\.[\w]{3,4})?((\?\w+=\w+)?(&\w+=\w+)*)?") Then MessageBox.Show("invalid websiteAddress") Else MessageBox.Show("valid websiteAddress") End If End Sub

I found it in my old sources, I don't own credits, I can't remember where I got this from.
Nevertheless its a professional way to validate a URL

That have to be the RegEx with most parameters I've ever seen.
Thanks, though i won't be needing this.

damn....whats wrong with Uri.TryCreate() ?

I'm not great with RegEx, but would this account for URL's such as https://flags.site.com/news.json (just an example).

Exactly what I was thinking...

But thanks for the share.
