Using System

This document defines an EmailAttribute class that validates email addresses. It inherits from the ValidationAttribute class and overrides the IsValid method to check email addresses against a regular expression. The regex pattern comes from researching common email validation patterns. The constructor initializes a Regex instance with this pattern. IsValid converts the value to a string, skips empty values, and checks for an exact match against the regex.
