Yes, of course. 

Let me change one of the examples that came with Portable Dot Net and see ...

XHello.cs is a good candidate.


Make generated
./XHello.cs:30: warning: unknown escape sequence `\d'

\\ is required as \ translated to imagesdotgnu-logo.bmp
instead of images\dotgnu-logo.bmp

Image image = new Image("images\\dotgnu-logo.bmp");

The actual output:
./XHello.cs:30: warning: unknown escape sequence `\d'
Leaving target `all' for project `samples'
Ending project `samples'
bash-2.05$ ilrun XHello.exe
Uncaught exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 
"imagesdotgnu-logo.bmp"

It worked with \\ - so I will research and test further...
