Has the framework been updated to allow a custom error message? Last post i saw on this was in 2006

As of CSLA 3.5 it had not been changed.

Can I second the request for a custom message?

As currently implemented, the rule doesn't provide feedback that tells the end user how to solve the problem, so I'd think a custom message would almost be a requirement rather than an option/enhancement.

Well, it's easy enough for you to do this. Simply build your own rule which calls the RegEx rule. If the RegEx rule returns false, your rule could change the e.Description to whatever you want, like something from a DecoratedRuleArgs.

I agree with Andy.
I do not use the CSLA rules directly. I consider them examples. I have my own Rule class (which started as a copy of the ones Rocky provided but has grown a lot since then.) I can make my own modifications without worrying about changes to the framework.
