    Hi All.

    I'm trying to validate email address in the text field

    <xctk:WatermarkTextBox x:Name="EmailTextBox" Watermark="Email Address" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" 
        Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" TabIndex="3" Height="30" TextChanged="EmailTextBox_TextChanged" 
        LostFocus="EmailTextBox_LostFocus" >
    <Binding Path="EmailAddress" />
</xctk:WatermarkTextBox>
<TextBlock x:Name="errEmail" Text="" FontSize="10" Foreground="#FFFF0000" Margin="5" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3" 
      VerticalAlignment="Top" TextAlignment="Right" />

    On online I found that code

    bool IsValidEmail(string email)
{
    try {
        var addr = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(email);
        return addr.Address == email;
    }
    catch {
        return false;
    }
}

    How to apply this code for LostFocus event method?

    Thanks.

    Try using the PreviewLostKeyboardFocus routed event and setting Handled = true in the event handle

    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/e0a58dfc-9fef-460c-9116-8e7ba3d37b73/textbox-email-validation?forum=wpf

      <TextBox Name="txtEmail" PreviewLostKeyboardFocus="txtEmail_LostFocus"></TextBox>

        private void txtEmail_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (IsEmailAllowed(txtEmail.Text.Trim()) == false)
            {
                e.Handled = true;
                MessageBox.Show("E-Mail expected", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
                txtEmail.Focus();
            }
        }

    Hi zleug
    This forum is discussing and asking questions about the Windows Forms such as Winforms controls, libraries, samples, publication and installation.
    Based on your description, it is mostly related to WPF. So it is recommended to ask the questions in Microsoft Q&A forum and you can get more professional answer.
    Thank you for your understanding.
    Best Regards,
    Daniel Zhang
