Hey the code I have for validating the tel no is not working for the string value (567) 789-5677

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: (555) 555-1234");

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

use regx think you will do this with this

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.
