Illegal characters in path. ?

Question

User-1103495211 posted

I've got an error:  "Illegal characters in path." But i don't understand why ?

The code is:

png = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["localpath"] + "images\actie.png";
imgF = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@png);

In my Web.config i have:

 <add key="localPath" value="C:\websites\HV tweewielers\" />

The error is on the last row, if u get with the arrow on @png i get: C:\\websites\\HV tweewielers\\images\actie.png
But the path is correct ... Quite strange because it works perfect if i add: c:\websites\hv tweewielers\images\actie.png ....

Hi dude

 instered of using like this images\actie.png

try like this images\\actie.png

and dont use space for folder name some time it will show error in that also the HV Tweewielers have space so it may consider as illegal character in path so check it out that tooo

The space doesnt mather, i changed the png part in:

png = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["localPath"] + @"images\actie.png";
imgF = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(png);

Like this it works great but @ doesnt work well for a string.. strange

Hi,

Based on my experience, the character "@" is fit to the value of the string and it is not suitable for the variable.
