The path is not of a legal form. Getting Dir from Registry.

[Jes|er]

Anyone have some ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here.
I get this error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: The path is not of a legal form.


When I retrieve the dir from the registry. I marked the offending line below with '****************************

    Private Sub btnNesRom_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNesRom.Click
        'Opens Directory Selecter. Reference to DirectorySelect.dll
        Dim NesDirSelect As New DirectorySelect.frmDirectoryBrowse()

        'Title of NesDirSelect
        NesDirSelect.Title = "Select Rom Directory"

        'Default Starting point is C:\
        NesDirSelect.StartingDirectory = "C:\"

        'Show as dialog
        NesDirSelect.ShowDialog(Me)

        If NesDirSelect.Filename <> "" Then

            SaveSetting("Multi-Front", "NesRoms", "RomsPath", NesDirSelect.Filename)
            Dim FillRomsList() As String
            Dim Roms As Integer
            
'*************************************************
FillRomsList = System.IO.Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(GetSetting("Multi-Font", "NesRoms", "RomsPath"))
'*************************************************
            lstRomsNes.Items.Clear()
            For Roms = 0 To FillRomsList.Length - 1
                lstRomsNes.Items.Add(FillRomsList(Roms))
            Next
            Me.Text = lstRomsNes.Items.Count


            'txtPath.Text = DirectoryBrowse.Filename
        End If
        'This IF structure checks the filename returned
        'if the filename contains text, it will replace the label text
        'otherwise, the label will keep its original text

        NesDirSelect.Dispose()
        'Free up resources used by component 

    End Sub

Resolved. I misspelled Front (Font) when getting the info from the registry...

VB.NET really needs a spell check! It woud save me countless hours of ripping out my hair...!
