ASP.NET MVC Url Route supporting (dot)

Question

I hope that you can help me with the below problem.

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 on IIS7 and would like my application to support username\'s with dots.

Example:

Answer 1

I don't think the dot is the problem here. AFAIK the only char that should not be in the user name is a /

Without seeing the route that matches john.lee/details it's hard to say what's wrong, but I'm guessing that you have another route that matches the url, preventing the user details route from being matched correctly.

I recommend using a tool like Glimpse to figure out what route is being matched.
