Unrecognized escape sequence

Question

VS 2005 WinXP

I am writing an application that will connect to a samba share.

However, in my path I am getting an compile error:

unrecognized es         


        

Answer 1

A UNC path should just include the machine name, the share name, an the path relative to the share point (inclusion of a "samba" scheme is not necessary). In the case of the machine name being sun005, either of the two following should work:

"\\\\sun005\\admin_config\\test.txt"
@"\\sun005\admin_config\test.txt"
