.NET Is Unable To Decode String When Java Can "Hi%E1" ?
Feb 18, 2010
My problem is with .Net Http/Uri libraries not being able to decode or unescape this character sequence: "Hi%E1". Neither Uri.UnescapeDataString nor HttpUtility.UrlDecode can do it.
Although I have a solution to get around this problem ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1221849/url-decoding-confusion ) I would like to understand why it is failing.
The 1st test here throws an exception! The second just fails.
Assert.That(Uri.UnescapeDataString("Hi%E1"), Is.EqualTo("Hiá"));
HttpUtility.UrlDecode("Hi%E1").ShouldBe("Hiá");
There is nothing in the docs to indicate that UnescapeDataString or UrlDecode are restricted to character sets or any reason why these tests would fail. However, from testing, it would appear that HttpUtility assumes UTF-8 (or some other) encoding.
The Java equivalent works! Probably because it allows an encoding to be set.
URLDecoder.decode("Hi%E1","windows-1252"); // this works btw, ie passes tests
Which looks like a very sensible move considering the .Net work-around (see URL above)
Are the .Net implementations of these methods just crap and .Net devs just have to write their own - or am I missing something?
BTW Everything I know of in IIS set to UTF-8, and Chinese/Japanese characters show fine, so I don't yet know how it could it be that this URI consists of windows-1252 encoded characters. If I could fix the URI to contain UTF-8 encoding, that would be a better way of fixing this.

I am working on a Japanese File and I have no knowledge of the language. The file is encoded in S-JIS. Now, I am supposed to convert the contents into UTF-8 so that the content looks like Japanese. And here I am completely blank. I tried the following code that I found somewhere on Internet but no luck:
byte[] arrByte = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(arrActualData[x]);
string str = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(arrByte);

I'm looking for a way to access a Java API from both a Java console application and an ASP.Net application.In short my Java API exposes a series of methods for dealing with invoices. All of these methods are essentially commands e.g.
GenerateAllInvocies
GenerateInvoiceNumber
PrintAllInvoices
PrintInvoiceNumber
All methods will interact with the database. I had believed Web Services was going to be my means for interop. But I have since been made aware of Java Stored Procedures in Oracle.

Edit I'd misunderstood what was happening here.. there is a POST send, then receive back a result, then the URL string which I'm seeing here is part of the the query string... so I can't decode what this really is, as it is encoded by the payment gateway people and not me.
I'd like to decode a URL string

I have a list of character that display fine in WebBrowser in the form of encoded characters such as € � ... But when posting these characters onto server to I realized that HttpUtility.HtmlDecode cannot convert them to characters as browser did, they all become space.
text = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("€");
I expect it to return € but it return space instead. The same thing happen for some other characters as well.

I am trying to render html encoded string that is stored in SQL Server into human readable form. The HttpUtility.Decode does not decode the text that is rendered in between the open tag and closing tag of any input tag (ie. TextBox or TextArea or Select) in my ASPX page. However, HttpUtility.Decode works fine if the text is not in an input tag. The following is my test code. For example, the value of AdmitDX field in database is "Someone's comment" which is "Someone's comment" when decoded. The first two code nuggets <%%> will show as "Someone's comment" and the thrid code nugget will show "Someone's comment".
<!-- the following two lines have html encoded text, instead of html decoded text -->
<%= Html.TextArea("AdmitDX", HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(thisTransfer.AdmitDX))%>
<%= Html.TextBox("AdmitDX", HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(thisTransfer.AdmitDX)) %>
<!-- the next line works fine -->
Test = <%= HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(thisTransfer.AdmitDX) %>

I have a Windows Service I have developed in Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
It accesses a database using a connection string in machine.config.
On my Windows XP Pro 32bit (SP3) machine, it works correctly.
On my new Windows 7 Pro 64bit machine, it throws "object not set to an instance of an object" when it gets to the line where it's trying use the connection string.
This is the 'object' which is not set in Windows 7:
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDatabase"].ConnectionString
The machine.config has the same connection string set up on both machines.
A .Net 2 website transferred to the Windows 7 machine has no problem accessing the same connection string.
I have tried a bunch of different permissions on the machine.config and its containing folders, and setting the service to log in as Admin, but I don't know exactly what permissions are required.
