   using System;
   using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
   using Serilog;
   using Sitecore.DataExchange;
   using Sitecore.DataExchange.Providers.Sc.Plugins;
   
   [assembly: WebActivatorEx.PostApplicationStartMethod(typeof(DataExchange.Providers.Sc.Web.Initialize), "Register")]
   namespace DataExchange.Providers.Sc.Web
   {
       public class Initialize
       {
           public static void Register()
           {
               try
               {
                   Context.Plugins.Add(new SitecoreItemUtilities()
                   {
                       IsItemNameValid = x => Regex.Matches(x, @"[^A-Za-z0-9\s]+").Count == 0,
                       ProposeValidItemName = x => Regex.Replace(x, @"[^A-Za-z0-9]+", " ").Trim(' ')
                   });
               }
               catch (Exception ex)
               {
                   Log.Error(ex, "Error during initialization.");
               }
           }
       }
   }
