Check Valid or Invalid URL in VB.NET
Submitted by donbermoy on Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 14:46.
A URL is the address of a specific Web site or file on the Internet. It cannot have spaces or certain other characters and uses forward slashes to denote different directories. Some examples of URLs are http://www.sourcecodester.com/, http://google.com/, etc.
Now, let's start this validating a URL tutorial!
1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application.
2. Next, add only one TextBox named Textbox1 for inputting a desired URL. Add also one button named Button1 to know if the inputted URL is valid or not. You must design your layout like this:
4. Now put add this code for your code module. The Button1_click here will trigger to decide if the inputted URL in the textbox is valid or not.
An Invalid URL:

4. Now put add this code for your code module. The Button1_click here will trigger to decide if the inputted URL in the textbox is valid or not.
- Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
- Public Class Form1
- Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
- Dim pattern As String
- pattern = "http(s)?://([\w+?\.\w+])+([a-zA-Z0-9\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)_\-\=\+\\\/\?\.\:\;\'\,]*)?"
- If Regex.IsMatch(TextBox1.Text, pattern) Then
- Else
- End If
- End Sub
- End Class
Explanation:
We have imported System.Text.RegularExpressions because we will use a regular expression to match the pattern of the URL and the inputted URL in the textbox using IsMatch method. We have initialized pattern as String to hold a string value of http(s)?://([\w+?\.\w+])+([a-zA-Z0-9\~\!\@\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)_\-\=\+\\\/\?\.\:\;\'\,]*)?. If the pattern will match the inputted URL in the textbox then it will display Valid URL!. Otherwise, it will prompt an Invalid URL!.Output:
A valid URL:
An Invalid URL:
