Question

I have a url that I want to map routing to:

http://siteurl.com/member/edit.aspx?tab=tabvalue

where tabvalue is one of: “personal”, “professional”, “values” or nothing.

I want to map it to a route like:

Member/Edit/{tab}

But my problem is – I don’t know how to specify such constraints. I’m trying this regex:

^[personal|professional|values]{0,1}$

but it only works when I use url

http://siteurl.com/member/edit/personal 

-or-

http://siteurl.com/member/edit/professional 

and doesn’t work for

http://siteurl.com/member/edit/

Any ideas how to specify the correct constraint?

P.S. I’m not using MVC, just asp.net WebForms

Thanks!

Answer 1

[ ] is for character set.

use ( ) instead

^(personal|professional|values){0,1}$
