Need help with regular expression.

[hillcountry74]

Hi,

I'm stuck with this regular expression from past 2 days. Desperately
need help.

I need a regular expression that will allow all characters except these
*:~<>'

This is my code in VB.Net-
Dim regex As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^[^*:~<>']*$")
It matches for most of the test cases except when I enter <mno or mn<vb
it throws an exception- "A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was
detected from the client txtregex="<vb"). "

How I get around this? Please help.

Thanks a lot.

A potentially dangerous Request.Form

Try putting this into your aspx page declaration:

<%@ Page validateRequest="false" %>
