Hi,

Please give me any suggestion.

I would like to create SharePoint project at visual studeo 2013 and project name with CompanyName.ProjectName.ModuleName but visual studio gives the error “SharePoint project names can contain only alphanumeric ASCII characters, spaces, underscores (_), and hyphens (-)”

Visual Studio 2013 cannot create prj name with Period (.)??

But I want to create project name with CompanyName.ProjectName.ModuleName

Thanks!

Hey mth2009-

Your question is actually an issue with Visual Studios rather than with the editor, however it is a limitation of Visual Studios that prevents the use of a period for naming conventions. The closest you can get would be to replace the periods with an underscore.

Cheers
