avalonia.xplat template replaces spaces with underscores in project references

[Yveske1966]

Describe the bug

The picture below says it all. The path itself remains without spaces, while internally Avalonia expects underscores.

To Reproduce

Make a new solution with spaces in its name and try to compile

Expected behavior

Avalonia should either refrain from making changes or change the path as well.

Please note that Avalonia itself doesn't care about the spaces. Nor does MSBuild. I believe it's an issue with the project templates, where the spaces were replaced with underscores at creation.

Can you please confirm that you were using the avalonia.xplat template? If yes, I'll move this issue to the templates repository.

In the meantime, you should be able to replace the underscores with spaces in the .sln and .csproj and get everything to compile (it might be faster to simply create a project without spaces from the templates though).

I added the Avalonia extension to Visual Studio and created a new project with the "Avalonia Cross Platform Application (AvaloniaUI) template. As I'm new to this, I don't know if that matches avalonia.xplat.

[MrJul]

Yes, that's the one. I can clearly reproduce the problem with it.
I'm moving this issue to the templates repo, thanks.
