I need an simple way to check whether a string that is sent to my function is of the form:

(x + n)(x + m) 
//the +'s can be minus'
//n and m represent a double
//x represents the char 'x'

Is there a simple string format that I can use to check that this is the form. As opposed to checking each character singularly.

The whitespace will be removed to save any confusion.

With .NET 3.5 SP 1 I checked out this blog and followed instructions, however the StringFormat parameter still gets ignored. Any possible reasons? To be sure: the datatype that are involved are DateTime, double, int. So the formatting SHOULD work, but it's not. Any clues why? >>> More
