Question

I can filter data from the Web-Application itself, but isn’t there a way to handle this from the root?

For Example, filtering a telephone number: +(12)345 678 91 /011

With a Regular Expression through the Web-Application, which I am currently doing:

bool validPhoneNumber = Common.IsValidTelephoneNumber(this.PhoneNumber);

//Insert Regular Expression
Regex regex = new Regex(@"^((\((\+|00){3}\)|(\()?\d{3}()?|)\d{10})$")

string number = this.PhoneNumber;

// Replace unwanted Characters
number.Replace(" ", "");
number.Replace("-", "");
number.Replace("(", "");
number.Replace(")", "");
number.Replace(":", "");

Match match  = regex.Match(number);

PhoneNumber (Contact)
char[] phonenumber = this.phoneNumber.ToCharArray();
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(10);
for (int i = 0; i < phonenumber.Length; i++)
{
    if (phonenumber[i] >= '0' && phonenumber[i] <= '9')
    {
        builder.Append(phonenumber[i]);
    }
}
phoneNumber = builder.ToString().Substring(0, Math.Min(10, builder.Length));

//OUTPUT: [phone]

What I would like to do is Collect Data and then Update it;

using (test.Database.OleDB db = new OleDB(OleDBConn)) { 
    db.Sql = 
        "UPDATE [Contact] SET ([MobileNumber]) VALUES " + "(@mobileNumber)" +
        "WHERE [Contact_ID] = @contactId";

    db.SetSqlParam("mobileNumber", MobileNumber);

    db.Handle.ExecuteNonQuery(); // Update the Record 
}

I have came to the conclusion there is no way to edit the data earlier than:

bool validPhoneNumber = Common.IsValidTelephoneNumber(this.PhoneNumber);

//Insert Regular Expression
Regex regex = new Regex(@"^((\((\+|00){3}\)|(\()?\d{3}()?|)\d{10})$")

string number = this.PhoneNumber;

// Replace unwanted Characters
number.Replace(" ", "");
number.Replace("-", "");
number.Replace("(", "");
number.Replace(")", "");
number.Replace(":", "");

Match match  = regex.Match(number);

PhoneNumber (Contact)
char[] phonenumber = this.phoneNumber.ToCharArray();
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(10);
for (int i = 0; i < phonenumber.Length; i++)
{
    if (phonenumber[i] >= '0' && phonenumber[i] <= '9')
    {
        builder.Append(phonenumber[i]);
    }
}
phoneNumber = builder.ToString().Substring(0, Math.Min(10, builder.Length));

So I decided to change the data manually.
