You could use regular expressions, for example:

Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
 
Function IsValidPhone(ByVal str As String) As Boolean
    Dim pattern As String = "\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}"
    Dim re As RegEx = New RegEx(pattern)
 
    Dim m As Match = re.Match(str)
 
    Return m.Success
End Function

You really should google ".NET framework reference" and read about regular expressions. Or you could google ".NET framework validate email regular expressions" and find this:

'Email Regex pattern:
Dim Pattern As String = "^[\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*@(?:[\w-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,7}$"

I have a problem at this point

    Return re.Success

I get success is not a member of 'System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex'erroris this code applicable to VS 2005

.Success is a property of Match class (as used in MS example). IfYouSaySo should have return m.Success (so I fixed post2 now )
