ASP.NET MVC 2 - How to ignore an entire directory using IgnoreRoute?

Question

I've tried the following two methods to try and ignore my "Assets" folder, but I keep coming up with errors. Can anyone tell me exactly how the Ignore Regex is supposed to look?

    routes.IgnoreRoute("/Assets/")
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{*assets}", New With {.assets = "\/Assets\/(.*)"})

routes.RouteExistingFiles = false
routes.IgnoreRoute("Assets/{*pathInfo}")
