Hi everyone;

I'd like to control textbox in C#.NET

How can i control that the URL or the text we entered to textbox exist in the web or not?

What should i do?

Looking for your suggestions.

Thanks.

Choose the event you wish to handle from the textbox and use the Dns class to validate the entered URL.

Gonzilla thank you for your interest.

The link you gave explains something but doesn't explain how to do.

How to use these codes??

public static class Dns
IPHostEntry hostInfo = Dns.GetHostByName("www.contoso.com");

Please me.

Did you even try anything? Or did you just open that link, look at it for a second and think "I dont understand" then come back here looking for someone to write it for you?

Of course i tried. But i dont understand how to use it?

i have a textbox and a button. Button will control the textbox.

For instance: when we click the button messagebox will show the url is exist or not.

I think u understand me. But im not good at c#. Plz help me. Thanks

Maybe you should post this in Post a Job forum so you can pay someone to do this work for you.

Espirator,

In this forum, people generally don't give you exact code to answer your question; you're expected to take the suggestions people give and try to develop your own solution... that said, this might help you out some:

http://www.vcskicks....eck-website.php

It's a different solution (not using the DNS class) and checks to see if the entire URL is valid, not just the domain name. Next time, you should try and really thoroughly Google what you're looking for... I found this page on Google in the first three links.

Here's another:

Hopefully this will put you in the right direction.

I can understand using a regex for this but if you want to see if the url is an actual live website then you are looking at writing a bit more code to accomplish this. I say a bit, maybe 20 to 30 lines.

This dude needs to go look up how to use the WebRequest and WebResponse pop a try catch around it and move on. LOL

Not sure where anybody mentioned using a regular expression? Maybe I missed it. The 2 links I saw that you quoted both connect to the URL and check the response.
