C # illegal characters in transit

Question

I get illegal characters in transit using the codes below:

string fileNameExisting = Application.StartupPath + "\\CodesLocation\\Template.pdf";
PdfReader templateFile = new PdfReader(fileNameExisting);

I checked a few options:

string fileNameExisting = @Application.StartupPath + "\CodesLocation\Template.pdf";
PdfReader templateFile = new PdfReader(fileNameExisting);

But he still gets the same illegal error.

Can someone help me see if my code is wrong?

Thank.

An before the string literal disables \escaping (before the variable, it explicitly places the variable as a non-keyword):

Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, @"CodesLocation\Template.pdf");

And Path.Combine- this is a modern way of concatenating paths (independent of the platform, it will take care of additional reduction).

I suggest using a suitable way to combine paths in .net: Path.Combine

So

Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "CodesLocation","Template.pdf");
