Question

I am trying to match on a string that begins with ./media

I have the following Regular expression:

bool match = Regex.IsMatch(@"^\./media", imgSourcePath);

My source string looks like: ./media/somefile.png

When I test this expression in other tools it works as expected. However a match is never found in C# source implementation. Can someone tell me why?

Thanks!

Your parameters appear to be backwards: Regex.IsMatch(String input, String pattern). Try this:

var m = Regex.IsMatch("./media", "(./media)(.*?)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | 
    RegexOptions.Singleline);
MessageBox.Show(m.ToString());  //displays true
