Hi, really sorry if this category don't fits the problem, i'm completely NEW to
mono on a linux system, with Debian lenny distro. But I think this will be true
to any platforms.

When you put a User control inside a folder with a non alpha char (for example
"!" symbol) this forces mono compiler to produce somthing like:

    public class !uc_mycontrol_ascx : global::XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.UC.mycontrol
{

which is not really a nice idea...
I've just "moved" my production site (which works on a microsoft .net
implementation over a windows 2003 server since 5 years). I was "just curious
to see" and so i configured debian, apache2, mono etc..

Folder names on a windows platform allows you to include a "!" symbol. I
originally choosen that just because it puts the folders (my "special folders")
on top of any browser, just a old trick.

so this is the error that comes out:

Compilation Error

I suppose it's generated from folder_name+_+usercontrol_name_ascx etc etc
etc...
I think (but i can be on the wrong side) that the compiler should convert it to
something like:

_uc_mycontrol_ascx (etc. etc.)

This is also the way Visual Studio handles file generations when you create a
file containing such things. (i would also add numbers etc..).

I can surely adapt the while code/project to fit mono rules, i'm just
experimenting in the hope to move my windows based environment to a linux one,
and i've all the time to get this goal, so it's not critical to me, but i
*strongly think* that all your work, a great work, would move to a (hypotetic?)
1:1 portability scheme.

My two cents.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a folder, call it "!uc" (without hypens)
2. put on it a user control, eg. mycontrol.ascx and some code into mycontrol.cs
3. create a page to the root, and at some point try to call/reference it with
something like: mycontroltype
x=(mycontroltype)LoadControl("~/!uc/mycontrol.ascx");
4. try to browse, step 3 isn't really necessary, as it happens at site-build
time.
Actual Results:  
Please note that i've cut off my personal namespaces, replaced with XXXX,
sorry, but don't think i've set a wrong namespace, I work on .net since 2001,
I'm not newbie :-)

Expected Results:  
working? :-)

I was expecting to get something more to work, or at least to fail moreover at
some places... not at automatic compilation for a legal path.

This is what it generated into /tmp/...../App_Web_XXXXX.cs

I think this is the relevant part.
