I have a problem with the following snippet: (working on Visual Studio 2008, Net-Framwork 3.5, all Service-packs) Vb.Net.
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(cc + TmpName + cc, cc + OnlyName + cc)
Cc equals to Chr(34)
or also
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(TmpName,OnlyName )
The Problem occurs if in one of the Strings the Character ";" is embedded. Don't ask me why this Char is in the Filename - it is. An "Illegal Character in Path" exception occurs.

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?
I am using the following code to get search results from The Movie Database.org using their api.
Dim xmltempdir As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments.ToString & "cwbrowser emp"

The line which is coloured red is the problem line. 'htmpath is shown as "C:UsersColinDocumentscwbrowser empsres.htm" which is correct.
Why I get the Illegal Characters In Path error.
I can copy about 15 files, and then it says "Illegal characters in path".However, I can't see any ilelgal characters.To top path is the destination, the bottom path is the source.

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?
View 2 RepliesI'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".

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), "_")

What illegal characters and where?
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)

If item = exename Then
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Forms.Application.StartupPath & "" & item & ".new")

Problem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.
I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.
The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.
In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.

I am trying to create a function to convert a mapped drive path to a UNC path. I did some googling and found several different pages on the matter. I am most interested in the first one, but I cannot seem to get the code to cooperate. Since the original post was in C#, here is my VB.NET conversion:

I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.

Well now i have an issue which is pointing in the use of "path's" physical and network.I have a SQL server on a Server machine and i have a desktop machine used as client.I'm runing from my client machine a stored procedure in order to add a streaming data base.But also before i run this procedure i run another one which prepare the desired "path", this procedure takes:
myPath="\ServerSharedFolderSQL
in order to run the first procedure i have to turn myPath in each physical name:
myPath="DriveLetter:PublicWorkFilesSQL"
Now my Issue is how i will have the physical path, which is build it on the server and which it's from very difficult (to imposible) to know it? Basically i need a function which will return me the physical path, which the implementation it's not knowing to me. My developing environment is vb.net 2010?
