iconresource handle / IIS7 with special characters in name

I have an icon with a plus sign in the name (my+icon.png). This icon is through an icon resource handler attached to a ToolBarButton.

Under IIS7 / Server 2008 the icon doesn't show. On IIS6 / Server 2003 it shows. After changing the plus to an underscore it also works on the IIS7 environment.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I reproduced what you described, and it doesn't matter which control, just that a resource name includes the "+" sign breaks it. I opened a new issue on the subject which you can track here.

Hi all,

after struggling some reasonable time with the same issue if found this post. I used background images named like Img16%.jpg and in visual studio design mode they were shown fine but at run time they were ignored. Tests with some more special characters identified another two problematic candidates: & and #.

In total we have now at least 4 characters to avoid in image names: "+", "%", "&" and "#".

Development env. is vwg 6.4.0c, VS2010, IIS5.1(XP)

Regards, Herb
