I have an asp.net / C# page which takes a comment, and then emails that comment. Sometimes when the user enters "&" in the comment, the comment is being truncated. So for example if the comment is "test & test" the email only sends out "test ".
I have tried HttpUtility.HtmlEncode - but it looks like the issue is on the outlook side and not on the C# side.
I have a e-mail address validator but I need to add special characters as valid for example ü, ç... Because users in Turkey (or anywhere else) can have a web site url like: hasangürsoy.com My code is below:

View 1 RepliesI've got a program that in a nutshell reads values from a SQL database and writes them to a tab-delimited text file.
The issue is that some of the values in the database have special characters (TM, dash, ellipsis, etc.) When written to the text file, the formatting is lost and they come across as junk "â„ or â€" etc"
When the value is viewed in the immediate window, before it is written to the txt file, everything looks fine. My guess is that this is an issue of encoding. But, I'm not real sure how to proceed, where to look, or what to look for.
Is this ASCII or UTF-8? If it's one of those how do I correct it before it's written to the text file.
Here's how I build the text file (where feedStr is a StringBuilder)
objReader = New StreamWriter(filePath)
objReader.Write(feedStr)
objReader.Close()

I add data to an Access database through a form on a aspx.-page. Now my problem is, if the user enters characters like " or & the syntax of the SQL command i send to access changes and the whole thing crashes. :-(
It should nevertheless be possible to write special characters in the Access database. How can I do that??

I'm using the code below to allocate tags in an XMl document into groups using the char[] alphabet below.
This works great for tags that start a-z. However I have some tags in the XML document that can start with special characters (eg 0-9, ! @ # $ & * etc)
I'd like to put them all in one group called "SP". Is there a way to do that?

Assume the above contents resides in a file. I want to write a snippet that removes any line which has empty string "" and put escape character before the middle quotations. The final output would be:
buildLetter.Append("</head>").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("<style type="text/css">").AppendLine();
The outer " .... " is not considered special chars. The special chars may be single quotation or double quotation. I could run it via find and replace feature of Visual Studio. However, in my case i want it to be written in c# or VB.NET
I have a requirment to filter out all users in the database by starting letter. so we will be having link buttons for A B C D E..... Z. If user clicks on A, all users whose name starts with A is retrieved Now the concern is, if there are users whose name starts with any special chars how they can be classified under any filters OR just copy pasting what the client asked me. In terms of filtering UTF characters, is there no way to set it up so that all 'A' (i.e. Ä, Á etc.) characters are assigned to A (i.e. some way of grouping together in an "if else" kind of rule)?

I have to replace XML characters that are being sent to me like this:
Private Balcony & Patios w/Storageto instead be this:
Private Balcony & Patios w/Storage
I want to make sure I have an exhaustive list of all possible characters, so we don't find one later after my programming change.
I was told to do these (by a developer at the client site who is passing me the xml as he gets it from the database and wants me to parse it):
replace all "&" to "&" as well as any of other 3 reserved characters:
">" to "<"
"<" to ">" and
"%" to "%"
But when I googled more infor on XML special characters, I found this list:
& &
< <
> >
" "
' '
Which says nothing about the % but mentions the quote and apostrophe.
So what is the exhaustive list?
Has anyone else encountered a problem with Framework 4 automatically html encoding multilingual characters?I am uploading a spreadsheet with both English and Spanish characters. When I preview it on the page everything looks great however as soon as I attempt to pass it to the stored procedure the non-roman characters are being automatically converted to, what looks like, html encoding.This code worked flawlessly in 3.5 and has not been touched. The only change is that I switched to framework 4 however I haven't seen anything indicating that this would be a problem for me.
