Creating Blazor ASPNET core app with hyphen in name fails

[conficient]

• VS version: 15.7.0 Preview 1.0
• Blazor VSIX: 15.6.10106

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new "ASP.NET Core Web Application"
2. In Name enter a name with a hyphen, e.g. Blazor-20180319
3. Select Blazor (ASP.NET Core hosted)
4. Attempt to build solution

Result:

Build fails with errors due to only some names being converted to underscore and not others.

The type or namespace name 'Shared' does not exist in the namespace 'Blazor_20180319' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Expected result:

Build should work

Notes:

The .Server project has references to folder and project names where hyphens are converted to underscores, e.g.

    <ProjectReference Include="..\Blazor_20180319.Client\Blazor_20180319.Client.csproj" />
    <ProjectReference Include="..\Blazor_20180319.Shared\Blazor_20180319.Shared.csproj" />

However the actual folders and projects are created with the hyphen, e.g /Blazor-20180319.Client/

Workaround

Don't use project or solution names with hyphens :)

Thanks for letting us know!

Tried to look at this, it might be an issue with dotnet templating - see dotnet/templating aspnet/AspNetCore#16301 and dotnet/templating aspnet/AspNetCore#16199
