Check if a phone number is valid

[Thomas Blake]

I need some sort of code to check if an entered phone number into a text box is valid, i.e: User inputs "078...."
I need some sort of if statement that checks if the number has 11 characters and starts with a 0 then get rid of the 0 and keep the rest of the characters....

Are you loading the number into a string to start with? Try trimming the string, and use Length.

You can easily remove the first character of a string by using .Substring(1) (to get a new modified string)
