Illegal characters in path. Error when using Skip and Take with IEnumerable

Hi there I have the following action in my controller ``` [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Index() { IEnumerable<SurveyResult> myresult = filterData(); totalCount = myresult.Count<SurveyResult>(); ViewBag.totalCount = totalCount; //myresult = myresult.Skip<SurveyResult>(100 * pageIndex).Take<SurveyResult>(100); return View(myresult); } ``` Here is my view ``` @model IEnumerable<SurveyResult> @{ ViewBag.Title = "Survey Results"; } @using (Html.BeginForm()) { <table class="std-tbl"> <thead> <tr> <th> DEL </th> ... <th> </th> </tr> </thead> @Html.DisplayFor(x => x, new { pageIndex = ViewBag.index }) </table> } ``` I have a partial view for SurveyResult but I am not including it because i don't think its relevant. Here is my question. The above code is working fine but as soon as I uncomment the following line ``` myresult = myresult.Skip<SurveyResult>(100 * pageIndex).Take<SurveyResult>(100); ``` I get "Illegal characters in path. " I think it can find the partialView for SurveyResult. I don't understand why it can find it when the above line is commented but it can't when its uncommented? Thank you. Here is my stack trace ``` [ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.] System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) +126 System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2) +38
