  Is fileName casesensitive w.r.t to physicalFileName?

  Nov 06, 2012 07:31 AM|LINK

  Hi all,

  I have one doubt w.r.t to file name in MVC application.

  Is fileName is case sensitive, when relates to physicalfilename and filename in soluiton explorer.

  Under my controller consider the below file

  ====================================================

  FileName in solutionexplorer : TestA.cs

  className : TestAccount.cs

  Physical FileName : Testa.cs

  ====================================================

  So as of above details, the fileName in solutionexplorer and physical filename gets differ in the character case.

  While building its not making any issue.

  Will it make issue at runtime.. will it map to correct file, even if character case get change.

  Thankyou,  inAdvance.

  You can not create 2 files with same name, different by uppercase, in Windows. So it's not case sensitive.

  not two files.. single file only.

  But the fileName in solution explorer and windows explorer will get differ in case.

  yes.. its ok.

  But my question is even though if its differ in case, will it map correctly at runtime.?

  or what are the issues if they differ..?

  There is no issue with that, at run time all matters is your class names.

  Will it make issue if we ran fxcop or any other code review or testing tool or some other performance analysis tool?
