How to replace a character in a String to space or white-space?
View 3 RepliesI have just upgraded a large project to MVC 2 (50+ controllers) and whilst the project builds fine I am having issues in several places because it looks like the way the Controller.UpdateModel method handles emtpy strings has changed.
In MVC 1 it set the associated property to an empty string but in MVC2 it's setting it to null.
I have some code that is used to replace certain page output with other text. The way I accomplish this is by setting the Response.Filter to a Stream, Flushing the Response, and then reading that Stream back into a string. From there I can manipulate the string and output the resulting code. You can see the basic code for this over at [URL] However, I noticed that Page Caching no longer works after the first Response.Flush call.
I put together a simple ASP.NET WebApp as an example. I have a Default.aspx with an @OutputCache set for 30 seconds. All this does is output DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(). I override Render. If I do a Response.Flush (even after the base.Render) the page does not get cached. This is regardless of any programmatic cacheability that I set. So it seems that Response.Flush completely undermines any page caching in use. Why is this?
extra credit: is there a way to accomplish what I want (render output to a string) that will not result in Page Cache getting bypassed?
ASPX Page:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestCacheVsFlush._Default" %>
<%@ OutputCache Duration="30" VaryByParam="none" %>
<%= DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString() %>
Code-behind (Page is Cached):
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.Render(writer);
}
Code-behind (Page is not cached):
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.Render(writer);
Response.Flush();
}
Code-behind (Page still is not cached):
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
base.Render(writer);
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Server);
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(30));
Response.Flush();
}
I want to show just a part of a string for example:
Instead: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua."
Just a: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing..."
Which method can I use to do that?
I have to break a HTML content string in to multiple lines. And each line should have some fixed characters, 50 or 60 Also I don't want to break the word..or html tags...
ex : <p>Email: <a href="mailto:someone@gmail.com">someone@gmail.com</a></p>
<p><em>"Text goes <font color=red>Hello world</font> Text goes here and Text goes here Text goes here 1976."</em> </p>
How can I acheive this in C#?
if a string
(1)Hello
than output 0 space
(2)Hello
than 5 space found

However, the paths which it finds are formatted as follows c:program filesmicrosoft officewinword.exe I need to format the paths as follows file:///c:/program%20files/microosoft%20office/winword.exe. How can I modify the above code to do this?
I've been wrestling with this for a while, and I just can't seem the get the correct amount of quotes in the correct place, so as a last resort, I'm hoping someone could attempt to correct it.

I have a calculation that takes place utilizing the TimeSpan.FromTicks method, the result is stored in a TimeSpan object. The calculation itself is working correctly, but I'd like to format the result a bit nicer than it is and I can't figure out how to format a TimeSpan.
The result from the TimeSpan is:
00:00:04.6153846
I'd like to remove any preceding zero's and round up to the second decimal place, such as:
4.62
Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? I can't seem to find a .NET 'built in' solution.
I have a table in my SQL DB that is a DateTime table, what I want to do is take the numeric datetime it stores and convert it to a long date (i.e. 12/12/2012 conversts to December 12, 2012). Seaching the forums it looks like the string.format is the way to go and searching for info on that I found [URL] which lists all the different formats but they do not list a formating string to convert to the format I want to use. Does anyone know what format string I would use to convert a numeric date to a long date like I want? And can you show it in a code example because I am not 100% sure I understand the code examples shown on that site.

View 5 RepliesI have a label I want to display as a lovely number format i.e. {0:N0} Now, this label text equates to a query string value.How do I go about formatting a label's text from a query string value in one fell swoop?I have tried this

I want to be able to store strings in the DB but some are long and i want to format them such that when i copy them out of SQL and past them into notepad they have line breaks to break up the otherwise single line that runs on forever and hard to read.
lets say i am storing a string of all the session variables like this, how do i include line breaks in here?
StringBuilder theBody = new StringBuilder();
theBody.Append("Session Values: " + "
");
foreach (string s in Session.Keys)
theBody.Append(s + ":" + Session[s] + "

We have a service that generates a report (using word templates and a 3rd party library), and then returns a string in HTML. While this HTML isn't great - its formatted correctly in this string. We want this HTML to show up on a page - format intact. What we currently have done is set an ASP.net Literal's text element to this string. While this works, I have noticed that it has reformatted the HTML string slightly. For the most part, it looks like it generated a bunch of new CSS classes, and a new style element in the HTML. This HTML does not exist in the string thats being returned. I could filter all of this back out, but wonder if there is a better way. I assume that the Page itself is altering something. What is the best way to display this raw HTML back to the user? I can't directly use a Response.Write(string), because this page does have a few other controls on it.
View 3 RepliesIn my repeater I am attempting to set the label format based on a value from my datasource. The following line from my repeater is straightforward enough but now how would I modify it if I wanted the "C2" statement in the ToString to pull from a field in my datasource named "MyFormat" which would contain either the C2 or N0 value? Basically switching the formatting for that label between currency and a double?
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblValue1" Text='<%# Convert.ToDouble(Eval("MyValue")).ToString("C2") %>'></asp:Label>
I've attempted to simply insert a statement such as Eval("MyFormat") in place of the "C2" statement but to no avail.
--AND (CONTAINS(O.OrgName, N'"3 step*"')) ORDER BY O.OrgName ( Contain function fails for a string with single character followed by space)
AND O.OrgName
like
'3 step%'

perfectly fine)
Contain function fails for a string like 3 step, @ fire etc which has single characters followed by space.

I have a problem with DataSet.GetXml() in ASP.NET 4.0:
First I populate the dataset with some tables.
Then I run the .GetXml() method on the dataset and some XML is returned. The output of this method is not want I want it to be, however.
The desired result is this:
[code]....
How do I stop this from happening? I mean, how do I stop the cell from being included at all?
In ASP.NET 1.1 the same code is used and the desired output is returned. This means that it is probably some new thing in 4.0 that I have to switch on/off. But what?
let's say I have the following string:
string s = "A B C D TESTTEST BLA BLA TEST TEST2"
Then I need the following:
"A B C D TESTTEST BLA BLA TEST TEST2"
So the rules are:a) replace every second space (between non space chars) with
b) If the last space is replaced with , try to move it backwards (if possible) one step so the next word is not touched by the force space.
Background:I want to use that to print data from the database to my website. But I want to optimize the forced spaces to use less space. I also want the last forced space not to touch the next word (if possible) so it is easier for some search engines to catch that word.
Will I need to loop through every char in that string and count the occurrence or is there an easier, faster and more fancy way?]So I did a benchmark to figure out which solution to accept:
@Guffa, your solution needs 22 seconds for 1 Million runs
@Timwi, your solution needs 7 seconds for 1 Million runs
I will give you both an upvote, but I will accept Timwi's solution.

I am having trouble formatting the date on a textbox I get the error above if I don't enter the date in MM/DD/YY format in the textbox. I am also using this in a FormView so I can't format it or don't know how to in the code behind so if there is a way to format it in design view that would be preferable. Does anyone have any ideas on how I would do any of this.
