There is some kind of mistake (like an illegal character or it can be something else) that makes everything that tries to deal with this path abandon; to say, “You know what? I can`t do with it what I have to do because it has an illegal form. It`s not fair. There is something wrong with this specification of a file. » The path is not a legal form An error message is raised when processing a Telerik.Reporting.Report in a project that targets the .NET 4.6.2 Framework. The setting is applied only to the running application. It allows you to specify file paths as before the .NET 4.6.2 framework without getting System.ArgumentException. Unfortunately, I can`t tell you what, because it really depends on where the message comes from (which is often in the title bar of the message box) or how it complains. For example, he may include the path (which, according to him, has no legal form) in the message complaining that the path has no legal form. I try to run a project from repo github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform with a command like: This is of course done by an exception, since the path is an illegal path that the class can work with. it should be a backslash “ instead of a forward slash `/` 3 – I tried Trim(),TrimEnd(),TrimStart() and it doesn`t work. Error: “The path is not of a legal form” Well, the path/file you gave an example of looks good. Well, this of course (what I just described) has what I consider a “legal form”. For example, if you have a file in a folder named My Documents at the root of your C drive and the document name is document.doc, the full path is C:/MyDocuments/document.doc.

Open the text file, does the path look correct? (publish a single line) When I start, the message “The path has no legal form” appears. And sometimes when browsing, this is also displayed. What does that mean? Save the Listbox items (which contain the path and file name) nuget.exe restore “C:Dnn.PlatformDnn.PlatformDNN PlatformLibraryDotNetNuke.Library.csproj” -PackagesDirectory “C:Dnn.PlatformDnn.Platformpackages” Run the application again, let it read the text file – does it read it? (assuming the path seems correct) This happens because something in the Nuget pipeline is the path.” /. /.nuget” as an argument in the github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/7463c26de6e6065a2b49d0ace20af973bca05968/src/NuGet.Core/NuGet.Configuration/Settings/Settings.cs#L832 method It enumerates the following directories [ “. /. /.nuget”, “. /..”, “. /”, “”]. In the .Net Framework, calling Path.GetDirectoryName with an empty string as an argument will cause an exception with the text “The path is not of a legal form”, so I propose to change the cycle condition from “root != null” to “!string”. IsNullOrEmpty(root)” 4p5ljhup.kxz.nugetrestore.targets(560,5): error: The path has no legal form. An exception occurred while processing pictureBox: System.InvalidOperationException: Invalid image data.

—> System.ArgumentException: The path has no legal form. Now, what happens in a case like this (“This path is not a legal form”) is that there is some kind of error in the path specified by an application`s configuration setting. {“error”:{“code”:”DM_GWPipeline_UnknownError”,”pbi.error”:{“code”:”DM_GWPipeline_UnknownError”,”parameters”:{},”details”:[{“code”:”DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage”,”detail”:{“type”:1,”value”:”The path has no legal form.”}},{“code”:”DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingHResult”,”detail”:{“type”:1,”value”: “-2147024809”}}],”exceptionCulprit “:1}}} Table: BUDGET The exception occurs while processing a Telerik report that contains a resource specified by the file path, for example, =`C:PicturesMyImage.png.` as the PictureBox.Value property. So I can`t really say where it came from or what to do about it. But I can at least talk a little bit about what it means to have a legal form. Make sure that when reading file paths from the list box, the full path to the file is first displayed in a correct format, that is: To me, it looks like the current line has invalid path characters or something like that. Hi.I gets the following error error: “The path is not of a legal form” in C# in the code that gives all the information to find this file on your hard drive: Add the following parameter in the runtime section of the running application configuration file: In your foreached loop, first check the length of the line before continuing with the code: New to Telerik Reporting? Download 30-Day Free Trial 1 – When I close the program, all the things on the list seem to be fine.TXT If you have tried this, you will get an error message. This means that something is being misconfigured on your computer.

Just a wild guess, but maybe you need to set EnableRaisingEvents to false before changing IncludeSubdirectories and the path? For example, when I try to update a record using the on-premises gateway, I use the latest version of the gateway, but the strange thing is that if I use an older version, it works fine (we have two servers, one for Dev and one for Prod) By clicking on “Sign up for GitHub”, you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

NuGet product used: NuGet.exe Product version: NuGet.exe – latest recommended version v5.8.1 To be honest, to be fair, this may not be something you have set up. It can be some sort of ill-defined configuration when configuring the program, or it can even be something that could even be modified by malware. I mean, there are a lot of different ways in which this kind of mistake can happen. As it appears at startup and sometimes with the browser, I would start with QuickTime, Java and Adobe Reader. These are often loaded at startup and used by some websites. I run Kubuntu and Win 7 in a dual-boot configuration. A few years ago, I created a file called “Earth: Where We Live”, which is a perfectly valid file name in a Unix-like file system. I saved it to an NTFS partition that I use for work created in both operating systems.

The problem is that when NTFS runs on Windows, it chokes on a colon used in a file name. Unix-like operating systems have no problems with the colon. As a result, Linux was able to open the file properly, but Windows couldn`t even see it. It was completely invisible. After understanding what was causing the problem and renaming the file to get rid of the colon (with Kubuntu), the file appeared in Windows. 2 – I replace SystemInfo(line) with MessageBox.Show(line) to see what`s in this line, and everything looks fine. But that`s essentially what it`s all about. He complains about a file name that he can`t understand where the file is. Well, what`s going on? If this happens at startup and it happens occasionally, the only way to know where it came from is to try to identify the program that is displaying the error message at the time of display. For example, it would be difficult to create a file with a vertical bar in the file name. You would have trouble creating a file whose file name contains a greater than sign or a less than sign. The text was updated successfully, but these errors occurred: The first 2 lines you posted – are they from the file itself or from what goes through the foreach loop? The author did not identify the operating system, but if it is Windows, it can help.

As suggested, can you please write here what each line currently reads in the foreach loop and also an example of the list.txt? But that`s the kind of thing that happens. There is a problem with a file name specified as a setting as a configuration option for a program that you run at startup and then occasionally while browsing. Are you able to get a list of all the files it reads and view it here for our benefit and yours? In this way we can see on which line the error occurs and which entries are in the text file / table of rows Do you have a question about this project?
