public string Phone
{
        get { return phone; }
        set { phone = value; }
}

public bool IsValid()
    {

using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Validators;

Answer 2

You can try

^\+?[0-9-]+$

See it here on Regexr

The important parts are the anchors ^ and $ for the start and the end of the string. I added also \+? at the start, to match an optional +. The + needs to be escaped since it is a special character in regex, the ? after it makes it optional.

Of course this is a very simple pattern, be aware that e.g. "-----" would also be valid.

Answer 3

For the examples provided following RegEx works:

/^(?:\+91(?:-)?|0\d{2,4}-|0|)\d{7,10}$/
