Regular Expressions, all keyboard characters

Hi, Im currently trying to set a regular expression in vb.net to check to see if a particular string contains only keyboard visible characters... I seem to have a problem with my pattern. Can anyone see what my problem is? I have no crashing errors, it runs fine. The problem is, as I pass it a string that should PASS, it does not...

Code:

DIM RegExObject AS NEW RegEx("^([a-zA-Z0-9,\./<>\?;':""[\]\\{}\|`~!@#\$%\^&\*()-_=\+]*)$")

IF (RegExObject.IsMatch(TestString)) = TRUE) THEN
   '---code when the test string contains only keyboard visible
   '---characters
END IF

Nevermind, I seemed to have forgotten to add the 'space' character ;p

Well, for anyone who needs it, just add a space to the pattern and you can check for all keyboard characters.
