Why the code is not able to detect #@<>?

[TearX]

Regex regExp = new Regex("^[a-zA-Z0-9\\/(),_s]+$");
some code in between
if (regExp.IsMatch(status.ToString()))
{
lblStatus.Text = "Comment added successfully.";
lblStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
}
else
{
lblStatus.Text = "Comment failed to add!!!.";
lblStatus.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}

I have written the code but somehow when i want to filter out it fall into the true section.(i have to remove the '\' for '\-' and '\s' as it give me an error of unrecognized escape sequence)
i would like to know where did i go wrong?

The reason it doesn't match those characters is because they're not in your regex anywhere.

So what do i have to do to make fall into the fail section??
do i need to change my if statemnet?
i am very confude right now

Fail section? You mean you want it to not match those characters? What you have is fine. If they put any of those characters in there, it will go into the fail section.

Your original question sounded like you wanted to match those characters.
