Hi,

I am attempting to create a regular expression for one of the fields in my component block however it doesnt seem to be working. the field needs to accept forward slashes

  [Display(Name = "Theme",
            Description = "Choose from pre-defined Theme",
            GroupName = TabNames.CampaignSettings,
            Order = 10)]
        [AutoSuggestSelection(typeof(BrandThemeSelectionFactory))]
        [RegularExpression(@"^[a-zA-Z0-9\s/]*$")]
        [CultureSpecific]
        public virtual string Theme { get; set; }

Does anyone know what im doing wrong here?

Thanks

How do you mean it "doesn't seem to be working"? It should only allow ContentReference so / is not allowed even if you have regex allow it

Hi quan, my apologies, i posted the wrong code! I've updated my post again and replaced it with the correct field. There is a drop down list in the campaign settings, and when i select one of the string theme names, and publish the page, the drop down list appears empty instead of being populated.

I'd use an enum property.. much cleaner. Only works if your Themes are really very predefined of course.
