[ File path issue ]
var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllText ("\\\\hds321\\Common Pay Sal\\Mobile App\\Android\\abc.pdf");
The above line errors out as :
Could not find file "/\hds321\Common Pay Sal\Mobile App\Android\abc.pdf".
Tried using a single \ instead of including the escape \. Still the same issue.
The file exists in the shared path specified.
Any resolutions please?
Answer 1
I recommend using Path.Combine(), instead of trying to concat path names manually. Path.Combine() will take care of the nuances of your platform for you.
Answer 2
The Xamarin utility assumes the path being accessed in on an SD card. Network paths cannot be used while developing code. Wish the error was clearer
