Validating an email address error

[saldous]

I can't work out what i've done wrong here, why is it telling me there is unreachable code on the "if" in this:

//Check email address entered is valid    
            public class RegexUtilities
            {
            public static bool IsValidEmail(string sEmailRecipient)
                {
                // Return true if sEmailRecipient is in valid e-mail format.
                return Regex.IsMatch(sEmailRecipient, 
                    @"^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-\.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$"); 
                
                if (RegexUtilities.IsValidEmail(sEmailRecipient))
                MessageBox.Show("Valid = " + sEmailRecipient);
                          
                else
                MessageBox.Show("Inalid = " + sEmailRecipient);
                   }
                
            }

Any ideas?

Thank you.
