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

The code is:

VB

Dim FS As FileStream = New FileStream(Server.MapPath("~/Temp/" & filename), FileMode.Create)
                   blobMail = CType(TableContainer.Rows(0).Item(0), Byte())
                   FS.Write(blobMail, 0, blobMail.Length)
                   FS.Close()
                   FS = Nothing
                   Return ReturnVar
               End If

even if i give ("../temp/") also geting same error

Give me a idea pls

Thanks in advance

Solution 1

Have a look at this: Removing characters which are not allowed in Windows filenames[^] - the chances are that filenamecontains something unexpected...

Hi,

Replace line,

C#

"Dim FS As FileStream = New FileStream(Server.MapPath("~/Temp/" & filename), FileMode.Create)"

with

C#

"Dim FS As FileStream = New FileStream(Server.MapPath("~//Temp//" & filename), FileMode.Create)"

Do one thing,
1) Debug your application.
2) Add "FS" variable in watch.
3) see the value of FS runtime and check wether the path is correct or not?

if possible paste your path here.
