    It’s safe to do so for one underscore at a time, although you shouldn’t use two consecutive underscores. From the C# language spec, section 2.4.2:

    Identifiers containing two consecutive underscore characters (U+005F) are reserved for use by the implementation. For example, an implementation might provide extended keywords that begin with two underscores.

    Personally I try to avoid type names with underscores anyway though… I’m not sure what you mean by “replacement for .” though. If you could give some context, that would help.
