Shahnameh Made Simple

     This is the story of my people, the Zoroastrians; the story’s name is Shahnameh. Shahnameh means “The Diary of the Kings” which includes all the stories of Persia’s greatest Kings right from Gayomard (the 1st Persian King) to Yazdezard (the last Persian King). Stories like Sohrab and Rustam are also taken from it. Shahnameh is much more bigger in depth than Homer’s Iliad and is as detailed as the Mahabharata. Poet Firdawsi Tusi wrote the Shahnameh with the intention that the future generations of Zoroastrians do not forget their ancestor’s rich heritage. The only problem with this book is that mostly it is available in Gujarati of which many people are not capable to read. There are some books available in English but they are too costly. There is a book available even free on Project Gutenberg website but it is in a poetic form. So, we are actually deprived to read ShahNameh at low cost and in a story book format. If Christians can read Bible, Muslims can read Koran and Hindus can read Mahabharat and Ramayana without spending too much money then why should the Zoroastrians be deprived of reading ShahNameh, their own story. So, i decided to do something regarding this matter and collect ShahNameh material from wherever i can find (at present i have 2 books in English (Project Gutenberg 2 Poems) and 2 books in Gujarati) to refer from. My intention is to bring the Story of Shahnameh to the masses.I will write and hope to finish this book on time. You can also help me to achieve this huge task. Here are the links to Chapters...

The easiest way I suggest is to use the regular expression coupled with a regularexpressionvalidation control in asp.net...
This will eliminate <> of cross site script attach and also eliminate ' (single quote) for sql injection attack problem.
I used the following regular expresssion for a field name for e.g. TaskName
^[,.&!? 0-9a-zA-Z ]+$

This will ensure that only Alphabets and Numbers and a white space and symbols used in writing like ,.&!? are used.

There is no possibility for the user to start any attack.

Thanks,
Mahernoz.
