C# file name

Question

For a C# 2010 desktop application, I have a user that wants me to work with a directory path name that looks like C:\C-Received.

I am going to place the C:\C-Received in the application configuration file which is in an xml format.

I am wondering if the dash (-) that is part of the  C-Received needs to have any special characters around it since the value will be contained in an xml file?

If so, what special characters do I need to place around the '-' dash?

Also can you point me to the reference that shows which characters in an xml file need special characters around them to be recognized?

There is a problem in your code - but it will take some time to work it out.
Soon as I get somewhere, I'll post result

Answer 3

Thank you for that code to compare if the ID is already in the array list.  They should not both go straight to the last name the lastStudent button should go straight to the last name but as for the nextStudent button it should display a different student every time until the end of the array list.  But what I am having trouble with is that when I click the nextStudentButton I can continue to click until the end of the array not the last student.  

Answer 4

When I use either button- it moves to last name ?
As to check id try this

 public void checkId()
{
foreach (Student stu in students)
{
if (stu.IdNumber.ToString() == idAddTextBox.Text)
{
MessageBox.Show("Sorry.Student id already in use");
return;
}
}
}
