Dijkstra's Algorithm C#

[omiver]

Was working on a team project in C#, I called it Dijkstra's Algorithm, and when I was done writing my code down I went to debug using Visual Studio 2010 and I would keep getting an error like this:

This kept happening more and more when I re-did the project under a similar name. Only when I took out the name Dijkstra would it properly run and debug.

Why is that?

i'm not entirely sure but i think it's caused by the " 's ". The ' might be an invalid character to use as a title.
Best to only use numbers and letters.

I'll test that out and let you know

After testing with 5 projects I can confirm that what you said is true. Seems you aren't allowed to use " ' " in a project name.

Although I think they should throw an error at the user if they do attempt to do that. Made me waste a lot of time sifting through my code looking for errors.

Yeah, as a general rule, keep namespaces and assembly names alphanumeric - a-z, A-Z, 0-9, dashes and underscores should also be fine.

Yep, this is your problem: [url]http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Vsexpressvb/thread/02be3d7e-cff5-47a7-a00a-1c5ebfcb47a7/[/url]

While it may be a good idea, you should avoid naming anything with non-alphanumeric characters in code. You'll get weird bugs like this if you do.

Will Definitely keep that in mind from now on.
