You should only pass a string, not a regex object as string. 

[RegularExpression("^[A-Za-z,.'-]{2,15}$", ErrorMessage = "bla bla'")]

The /.../ are regex delimiters, and /i is a regex case insensitive modifier. This called a regex literal notation in JavaScript. In ASP.NET, you should only pass the pattern, the part in between the /.../ delimiters. Also, you cannot use regex modifiers, but in this case, you can just add A-Z to the character class.
