Hi, check here:

public bool IsValidEmail(string emailAddress)
  {
       if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(emailAddress)) { return false; }

       string _emailPattern = @"\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*";
       return new Regex(_emailPattern).Match(_emailPattern).Success;
  }
//OR:
private bool ValidatingEmail(string inputEmail)
        {
            string strRegex = @"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}" +
                  @"\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\" +
                  @".)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$";
            Regex re = new Regex(strRegex);
            if (re.IsMatch(inputEmail))
                return (true);
            else
                return (false);
        }

This code is for email validation. That means that it checks if email is correctly written, so if it is written in correct form only. Method returns true if all ok, and false if email is not in correct form.
You can call this method when ever you want.
