CS1009: Unrecognized escape sequence
escape those \
in lines like the following
ad.DataFile = "D:\Hosting\9372580\html\pearl\Pearl.mdb";
you can either manually escape them all like so
ad.DataFile = "D:\\Hosting\\9372580\\html\\pearl\\Pearl.mdb";
or you can make it a literal string
ad.DataFile = @"D:\Hosting\9372580\html\pearl\Pearl.mdb";
the character '\'
begins what is called an "Escape Sequence", and it essentially that you're using 2 characters to represent 1(special) character.
for instance, \n
is a newline character, \0
is null, and \\
is \
You need to use "\\" as "\" is an escape sequence.
