asp.net regular expression methods not working?

hey ya all.  

Ok I have a regular expression html type page witch works fine, but when I made another one, using the same code, but it doesn’t want to work. The only difference between the two is that one is html form based tester and one use's values passed through the url. The page that uses the values pass through the url, works on almost all regular expression methods except for ones like:

[CODE] (?<LastName>[A-Z]\w+\-?[A-Z]?\w*),\s(?<Suffix>Jr\.|Sr\.|IV|III|II)?,?\s?(?<FirstName>[A-Z]\w*\-?[A-Z]?\w*\.?)\s?(?<MiddleName>[A-Z]?\w*\.?) [/CODE]

Matches: Walker, David F|||Smith, Jr., J. S.|||DeCarlo, Yvonne
Non-Matches: peterson, oscar

From: [url]http://regexlib.com/DisplayPatterns.aspx?cattabindex=3&categoryId=4[/url]

The url I would call from something like flash would be:

[CODE]http://localhost:1496/Projects/RegularExpressionValidator.aspx?TheString=Walker, David F&TheRegularExpression=(?<LastName>[A-Z]\w+\-?[A-Z]?\w*),\s(?<Suffix>Jr\.|Sr\.|IV|III|II)?,?\s?(?<FirstName>[A-Z]\w*\-?[A-Z]?\w*\.?)\s?(?<MiddleName>[A-Z]?\w*\.?)[/CODE]

My web version which works most of the time just not when trying to test the above regular expression

[CODE]<%@ Import NameSpace="System" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace="System.Net" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" %>
<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" validateRequest="false" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<script runat="server">
    Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        ' check page isn't been post back from form event procedures
        Try
            Dim myURL As String = Request.Url.ToString()
            If myURL.IndexOf("?") > 1 Then
                Dim GetTheRegularExpressionString As String = Request.QueryString("TheRegularExpression")
                Dim GetTheStringToValidateString As String = Request.QueryString("TheString")
                '' ''Dim myURL As String = Request.Url.ToString()
                Dim StringRegex As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(GetTheRegularExpressionString)
                If StringRegex.Match(GetTheStringToValidateString).Success = True Then
                    Response.Write("dat=True")
                Else
                    Response.Write("dat=False")
                End If
            Else
                Response.Write("dat=False")
                ' Response.Redirect("RegularExpressionsHTMLVersion.aspx")
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            Response.Write("dat=" & ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub
</script>[/CODE]

My html version which works:

<%@ Import NameSpace="System.Net" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace="System.Text.RegularExpressions" %>
<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" validateRequest="false" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

                If TheRegularExpressionInputBox.Text.Trim.Length > 0 Then
                    Dim StringRegex As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(TheRegularExpressionInputBox.Text.Trim)
                    If StringRegex.Match(TheStringToValidateInputBox.Text.Trim).Success = True Then
                        Lbl3.Text = "Result: <I>TRUE</I> <BR>The string " & Chr(34) & " " & TheStringToValidateInputBox.Text.Trim & " " & Chr(34) & " <b><u>IS</u></b> valid for that regular expression patten " & Chr(34) & " " & TheRegularExpressionInputBox.Text.Trim & " " & Chr(34) & ""
                    Else
                        Lbl3.Text = "Result: <I>FALSE</I> <BR>The string " & Chr(34) & " " & TheStringToValidateInputBox.Text.Trim & " " & Chr(34) & " <b><u>IS NOT</u></b> valid for that regular expression patten " & Chr(34) & " " & TheRegularExpressionInputBox.Text.Trim & " " & Chr(34) & ""
                    End If

                End If
            Else

            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            Lbl3.Text = "Result: I am sorry to say an error has occurred!?<BR><BR>Pleases ensure you have entered a valid input string to be validated; as well as a valid regular expression to use as the validation method<BR>If the problem persists please contact me at <a href='mailto:lemming29@hotmail.com?subject=regular%20expression%20page%20issue' title='Clicking this will automatically launch your default e-mail sender' accesskey='k'>lemming29@hotmail.com</a><BR>Please check the following error message for more details<BR><BR>Error Message reads:<BR>======================<BR>" & ex.ToString & "<BR>======================<BR>End of error report"

If any one can explain why his regular expression method keeps retuning false in the web version but returns valid in the html version, and how I can remedy the problem I would be very grateful
