MCMS Manager 4.1

This version is mainly targeted to improve the performance of the tool. I’m sure - this version will work faster than the previous one. Also this one includes resource search – it can be searched by guid, name, display name, mime type, size, etc. Download MCMS Manager from here.

Regular Expression to check Posting or Channel name

Few weeks back, Stefan has posted a function which can be used to validate the name of a posting or channel. I had a similar requirement, but wanted to have it as a single regular expression so that it can be easily used with RegularExpressionValidators.

Regular expression -

^(([a-zA-Z0-9 ()_\-]+(\.(?!\.)))*)[^/.]$

Also it is required to add a RequiredFieldValidator to check blank / whitespaces.
