How to solve System.Web.HttpException: is not a valid virtual path

I am on developing a website using ASP.Net (VB.net), @ particular phase Execute the following code to 

Private Sub btndownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btndownload.Click
   Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
   Response.TransmitFile(hdndownload.Value) ' http:/localhost/sample_web/sample.pdf is the value for hdndownload.Value
End Sub

But it result in error as follows:

Server Error in '/sample_web' Application.
http://localhost/sample_web/sample.pdf' is not a valid virtual path.
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. 
Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

If the value in your comment for hdndownload.value is correct you ars missing a /

the value being passed should be

http://localhost/sample_web/sample.pdf 
      ^

not 

http:/localhost/sample_web/sample.pdf
