What does this warning message mean?

When I build a project, the system present me a warning message:

Load of property 'RootNamespace' failed. The string for the root namespace must be a valid identifier.

But my program runs well.

Anybody can tell me what should I do to avoid this warning message

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Check if your namespace contains a period ".". You get this error when there are invalid characters in your namespace.

Well, no. The period '.' should be valid for the root namespace.

What is the current value of your root namespace
MrSlim
It looks like your the root namespace of your assembly (project) contains characters that aren't valid for identifiers.

To change your root namespace, do the following:
1. In Solution Explorer, right-click on your project and click Properties
2. The root namespace is contained within the Default Namespace textbox, simply check that it doesn't contain any invalid characters such as , ', ., :, ;, etc

It also can't START with a number (something I learned when we were converting our 3D WebCam application to .NET 2005)

Hi David,

The dot (.) is also an invalid character, right

Can you open your project file with a text editor and post the contents of it

I use project property form setting the default namespace to MSDN.Tutorial.Chapter6, and also set the default assembly name to Section1.exe

I'm sorry David, my computer is corrupt when I install the Windows Vista SDK, all the file in my system driver is lost, so I can't post anything at this moment. Also my company decide to use VSTS in the future, so I think if I have time, I will try my best to re-do my previous job at my home machine, maybe when I encountered this problem again, I will post my project file here.

Thanks for your time and I appreciate your help.
