How do I name a result group in a Regex? (.Net)

Question

Title says it all...

Answer 1

(?<NameOfGroup>[a-z]*)

Use the ? syntax like in the sample above.

(?<first>group)(?'second'group).

Answer 3

(?<NAME>EXPRESSION) or (?'NAME'EXPRESSION)

Answer 4

(?<name>.*)

Substitute with whatever you want to call your group. whatever follow is the regular expression you expect to parse and match the result to the group.
