tel no validation

[judithSampathwa]

Hey the code I have for validating the tel no is not working for the string value [phone]

String rePhoneNumber = @"\([1-9]\d{3}\)\s?\d{3}\-\d{4}$";
            Regex re = new Regex(rePhoneNumber);

            if (re.IsMatch(textBox1.Text))
                MessageBox.Show("valid phone number");
            else
                MessageBox.Show("Phone Number Must Be Entered As: [phone]");

Every time the else part is being executed
Why is this can somebody explain the code??
thanxxx

Your regex string is looking for 4 digits inside the ().
One for [1-9] and then another 3 digits with \d{3}.
Change \d{3} to \d{2} and it should work.
