do we need to have the "dot" in web.config ?

[Tee]

In our web.config, when we are doing forms authentication, we have such code

<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name=".MyProject" etc etc>

I see some example with a . in front of their project name at the <forms
name> ... and some don't have the dot ...

any differences between the dot or not dot ?

thanks,

Tee

Hi,

no differences. I think it is just a naming habit, nothing more.
