i have a list box or directory paths, the program basically copies the directory to a selected destination and moves down the list to the next path and copies that path. I'm having a few problems with this, but mainly this one where the application errors out and stops completely with this error:
"Illegal characters in Path."I would really like to address this and get it resolved, or is there anyway it can report this, but move on to the next path in the ListBox?

What characters are illegal to use in a file path name? I tried to save a text file using a filename that had only a dash in it. I got an error that said Illegal characters in the path name. This happened when I saved it using the UTF8 and Unicode encoding methods. Also, which is better to use -- UTF8 or Unicode? Which encoding is used in Microsoft Word files?

I'm creating what should be a simple copy and paste type of program. Basically you put text in the textboxes and click the copy button to copy it to the clipboard. I have a text file attached to format the text when it is copied. With that in mind, when I run the program(debug), i can successfully use it once. But, after clicking the "reset" button to clear all of the text boxes for another use, I fill in the information as normal, I click the copy button and i get this popup titled "ArgumentException was unhandled" followed by the error "Illegal characters in path".
Here is the code >
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim ReadText1 As New System.IO.StreamReader(vartextfile1)
vartextfile1 = ReadText1.ReadToEnd

I have a program where I copy strings from one file to another. I then create folders based on the strings. It works great 99% of the time. Once in a while I get this error:
Illegal Characters in Path
Here's the line of code where it happens:
If Dir$(txtSaveLocation.Text & "" & name1 & "" & name2, vbDirectory) = "" Then
It is just checking to see if the folder exists yet or not.
When I move my mouse over the variable "name2" the value shows up as
"test name 2
That's right, no closing quotation marks. How is this possible? If I manually add the quotation marks while in debug mode and restart execution the code works fine.
I do have a function to strip out illegal characters first too:
For loopCTR = 0 To strip.Length - 1 'strip characters out
name2= name2.Replace(strip.Substring(loopCTR, 1), "_")
Next

I'm having trouble using the webclient to download a file. This same code works in another app that I'm using, but when downloading the second file, I get an exception saying that there are illegal characters in the path.The second item that it is having troubledownloading's filename is "Filename.exe.manifest". The RemoteUri is the download link, item is the name of the file. When I print out the path that it is downloading from and the path that it is downloading to, both are correct. I can type the address in the browser and it downloads fine. (The problem file is not exename)
For Each item As String In files
If item = exename Then
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Forms.Application.StartupPath & "" & item & ".new")

I'm trying to setup a simple app that reads a file and then writes the contents to another file using OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. Looking at the debbugger it looks like it's reading fine, I can see the data I want written. Towards the end of my code I get the following error message:"Illegal characters in path". I've researched this error. I'm not using any illegal characters such as /\? etc and the pathname contains all alpha characters. I'm pulling the test file from the C drive and trying to save it there as well.
Path: C:\Test.csv

In this screen I want to let the user decide which elements are on shown on a label. When I hit the update button (BDUpdate_Click; see below), it first checks whether the Barcode sample text is empty. Afterwards I want to invole the refresh of the label preview. The strange thing is that the first time it works fine, but when I alter the sample text and hit the button again, I get the Error "System.ArgumentException was unhandled. Parameter is not valid." The error points to the DrawSting function in the LabelPreview_Paint Sub
Dim BarcodeLabelUpdate As Boolean
Private Sub BDUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BDUpdate.Click
If BDBarcodeSample.Text = "" Then

I am retrieving string values from a table and then encode each term to make a httpwebrequest to an api. It works fine and the terms allow for foreign characters like japanese/arabic/chinese etc and these are inserted fine. The problem occurs when some of these terms contain weird characters and that is when the request is bad. The only reason it is bad xml and the template I follow gets invalid are when these characters are present. I use the
system.securityelement.escape
And also
httputility.htmlencode
As part of my cleanup. One of the weird characters ends up appearing as a space but it is not since the trim(term) does not work and when I look at the xml in visual studio it looks like an ' &' with arrow pointing up attached to it. It does not appear after I pasted it here.It appears as a line feed or carriage return and I have tried to remove that too. Anyway is there some way I can ensure that these sort of characters are removed and if I were to use the binary values like <32 invalid, will foreign characters then get excluded.
temp = temp.replace(vbCr, "")
temp = temp.replace(vbLf, "")
temp = SecurityElement.Escape(temp)
