new project in pwa reurn "InvalidProjectName"


I am trying to create a new project in PWA but i am receiving this error: "ProjectNameInvalid".

here is my code:

projContext = new ProjectContext(pwaPath);
projContext.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, pass, domain);
ProjectCreationInformation newProj = new ProjectCreationInformation
{
    Id = Guid.NewGuid(),
    Name = "1.1. سفارشات",
    Description = "تولید شده به صورت خودکار",
    Start = DateTime.Today.Date,
    EnterpriseProjectTypeId = GetEptUid("Enterprise Project")
};
PublishedProject newPublishedProj = projContext.Projects.Add(newProj);
QueueJob qJob = projContext.Projects.Update();
JobState jobState = projContext.WaitForQueue(qJob, timeoutSeconds);

it is not because of persian characters, i created many projects with persian characters before.

is there any standard format for Name? or any forbidden characters?


Solution

  • It appears that the periods are not allowed. Looking at Project Server error codes, under the error code GeneralInvalidCharacters = 20012 it says:

    Some characters are not valid. In addition to the TAB character, the following characters are not valid in a project name: \ / " : ; < > | , . ' ? * #
