Q: 

Could the projects name contain a dot?

Hi,

I'm runing MVC 2RC project on IIS 5.1.

When default created project is named "MvcApplication1" than everythig is ok. But when projects name is "MvcApplication1.Web" (contain ".") than I get an error during the debug: "unable to start debugging on the web server. the web server could not find the requested resource"

Do someone know how to resolve this problem?

Thanks a lot, Igor

Yes, this is a problem with namespaces and classes. This is like trying to name a class in php My$Class or in C My->Class...it's just not possible.

a restriction, rather than a problem, i'd say. the limit seems perfectly reasonable to me. +1, tho

Strange. I have periods in my project names and they're absolutely fine.

Why it's impossible? In asp.net Web Forms it's just ok, for example http://www.tiptopdevelopment.com/GoodsFinder.Portal/

@Dan - Is it because OP is using IIS 5.1? I too have dots in my project names
