MVC4 section name with dot

Question

I am working on a project that has several sections defined as follows:

@RenderSection("Sidebar.Top", false) <div>somecontent</div> @RenderSection("Sidebar.Bottom", false) 

I want to do something at the bottom of the sidebar, but when I use @section Sidebar.Bottom{} , I get an error

Cannot resolve sidebar section

I am not allowed to use . in the section name or is there a way to do this?
