If I try to load a file in System.Drawing.Bitmap which contains an ampersand, this gives an error.

This is the code:

        Dim loImage As System.Drawing.Bitmap = Nothing

        ' Get a reference to the image
        loImage = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(lcFat + lcFileName)

The error is:

"Parameter is not valid."

I did not find any documentation on encoding the file name in here. Anyone knows something about it?
