if space is not allowed then use

\w{50}

it would match any word character including underscore [A-Za-z0-9_]

Strange enough, it wasn't working .
It seems working with "\w{0,50}" now.

Thanks.

if you need to validate a text in the TextBox control then you can
simply use the maxlength property

well,
I used RegularExpressionValidator within EditItemTemplate in the formview.
when I tried to update without changing the value for the
"ControlToValidate" for that RegularExpressionValidator, it shows the
errorMessage even though this is valid.

Do you mean that "\w{0,50}" is not working, or what?
