even if i changed the path it's the same problem

that's my code :

    Dim testFile As System.IO.FileInfo
    testFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("‪C:\Users\ochallal\Desktop\ENQ1620_3.sdf")
    Dim folderPath As String = testFile.DirectoryName
    Dim fileName As String = testFile.Name
    Dim fullPath As String
    fullPath = My.Computer.FileSystem.CombinePath(folderPath, fileName)

and that's the details of the exception

i'm guessing that it could be permission stuff but i have all permissions and using visual studio as Administartor

When I copy your text and paste it in Visual Studio, and look with a hex editor at it I see some extra bytes in the string:

Remove that and it will work.
