Email validator to ignore empty space

I am using .NET for my email validation:

    [Display(Name = "Email address")]
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "The email address is required")]
    [EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "Invalid Email Address")]

But if I copy paste an email address like [email protected] ( notice the empty space at the end of .com it says it is invalid. How can I tell it to ignore that empty space for validation?

I couldn't type empty space in SO editor, imagine there are empty spaces after .com

You could use the regex validation Attribute and use some Regex that allows for spaces at the beginning and end. An example is given below :

^ *([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,6}) *$

However, this regex is a sample only and I recommend you visit This site or the SO post mentioned in the comments below to find a regex that is acceptable to your needs and then use the [Space]* at either end to allow unlimited spaces
