Regular expressions (Regex) in Dot.Net 1.1

Hey,
I need to create a regular expression with this rule: SpecificString*_1_*AnotherSpecificString. (the asterisk is any string in any length). how do I enforce such a rule using Regex.IsMatch()? (derives from System.Text.RegularExpressions)
I thought it should go like this: "SpecificString.*_1_.*.AnotherSpecificString" but it seems it passes things that shouldn't be passed..
Thanks!

Start with:

^[xxx](.)*[_1_]{0,1}(.)*[yyy]$

And see what happens, too tired to write one that actually works ...

used "^[xxx](.)*[_1_](.)*[yyy]$"
