Razor Page doesn't compile when dash/hyphen used in file name

[mikebrind]

If you use a dash / hyphen in a Razor Page file name, the resulting page will not compile. This is because the generated type name includes invalid characters e.g hyphen-test.cshtml becomes.

public class hyphen-test_Page : global::Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.Page

You probably want to replace them with underscores.

Thanks for reporting this, we'll get it fixed.

There is still (2.1.0-preview1-007211) an issue with IntelliSense with the filenames containing dashes.

In order to reproduce:

• create a new razor page e.g. razorpagetest.cshtml
• in the code add ViewData["Title"] = "Test123";
• save and close the file
• rename razorpagetest.cshtml to razor-pagetest.cshtml
• save and close the file
• reopen the file and you will see errors on the errors list (although it build OK)
