Hi,

My ChangePassword method returns a boolean value indicating whether the change of password has been successful or not. When the user enters a new password, I want to check if the password length is at least 8 and there is at least one non-alphanumeric character(both these parameters specified in the web.config file). If I want to check in my code if the password entered is at least 8 characters, I would write some code like this:

if(newpassword.Length < 8)

{

//do something

}

Like the Length property, is there some property that can check if the password contains at least one non-alphanumeric character???

Thank you!

If you are comfortable with Regular Expressions, you can try using Regex to validate the password.

It is part of
using System.Text.RegularExpressions; namespace

I will try to get some small code snippet for you

Cheers
Shasur

Hi

Here is a hint

privatebool CheckPasswordForNonAlpha(String sPassword)
{
string sPattern;
sPattern = "[^a-zA-Z0-9\n\r\t ]";
Regex oReg = newRegex(sPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
return oReg.IsMatch(sPassword);

}

Cheers
Shasur
