Validating a URL

[m1ch3ll3]

Hi all,

I am a newbie to VB.net. And, my recent school assignment needs me to write a function to validate if the input string is a valid URL or not. I do have a slight idea as to how the algorthium should go, but my limited knowledge about VB.net is giving me problem. PLEASE advice. THANKS !

i'm not going to do you're assignment for you, but you should google "Regular Expressions in vb.net"

Regular Expressions can be very usful for validating patterns like email addresses, url's, phone numbers, etc
