Regular expressions are sequences of characters that define search patterns, and they are commonly used in text parsing, validation, and transformation tasks.
In the .NET Framework, the System.Web.RegularExpressions.dll typically finds use in web development scenarios, particularly in ASP.NET applications. It can help with tasks such as input validation for web forms, URL pattern matching, and the parsing of HTML or XML content. By including this DLL, developers have access to a set of pre-compiled regular expressions and associated methods that are optimized for web-specific tasks, which can streamline the development process and improve the performance of web applications.
