Convert JavaScript Regex to C#

Question

How can I convert the following Regex statement into C#?

Match match = Regex.Match(line.Trim(), @"/^[A-Za-z-.]+([,;]\s?[A-Za-z-.]+)*$/", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
if (match.Success)
    //do something

The pattern mentioned in the Match method is the one I picked from my javascript method. It basically matches names such as Jane,Doe Jane;Doe Jane, Doe; Jack, Doe

Please advice.

Please clarify: how is the code you currently have not doing what you want it to? — ebohlman

I rolled this back to the revision one, because if you edit the question to include the solution from the answer, it then becomes useless. — Sam Hanley

Remove / at the start and the end of the string.

Also, the a-zs can be removed (or the IgnoreCase option), and the dash should be at the end of the character class [A-Z.-].

It does work for me here regexhero.net/tester which uses .NET Regex engine, for all of your examples. What string does it fail on?

I found my error. Was a spelling mistake. Thanks for your help!

@SoulSlayer Why was the question edited to include this answer? It's confusing when I look at this and see that the answer was already implemented in the question.
