Getting Swedish Characters From A Textbox Control?
Jan 28, 2010
I'm getting my text from a textbox from code-behind using control.Text() but I'm not getting the proper characters, I want "ÅÄÖ". Must be some problem with the text encoding but I've already checked my encoding settings in VS. Someone??
I am assigning a value to .Text of a textbox retrieved from a database in Page_Load() but no characters are shown in the textbox after doing this. The value is indeed there when I try to read from it after the assignment. I would like to present some characters to the user even though they are the "dotted" password characters so they know a password has been entered here. Is it possible to do this?
I have a vb.net local application that reports to a web server with POST method.
Unfortunately, like it says in the title, the swedish characters (among others I guess) comes back in ASCII (I think).
local app:
Code: Function doHtmlPost(ByVal url As String) As String Dim strResult As String = "" Dim myWriter As StreamWriter Dim mystring As String Dim strR As New StreamReader("c: estmytext.txt", Encoding.UTF8)
I'd like to have an asp.net textbox that people can paste content into and it works like notepad, i.e. no formatting or special characters will get entered. I take text and pass it to a web service which manipulates it and converts it into a tab delimited file. The problem I've experienced is sometimes people copy from MS Word and paste that content in and somehow even the tab characters etc. get passed to the web service. I run routines now to strip that information out but it would be so much easier if the textbox on the web page didn't capture anything but the text itself, i.e. visible characters (numbers, letters, punctuation).
Im developing a application in asp.net ,the problem i got was i have a grid view with textboxes in it where i can enter some data and store it into the database.But the problem ,i have to enter minimum 50 characters of data into it but the textbox is accepting only 30 characters.im getting the following error.String or binary data would be truncatedThe statement has been terminated.And i have also checked the datatypes of corresponding columns in the database.(they are set to archar(MAX))
On my current form I have it validating a Canadian Postal Address (xxx xxx). The space is optional but if the user does not use a space, then once the validation passes it will insert one. How can I count the first 3 characters of the textbox, insert a space, then add the rest of the characters?
I have few Text Box controls on my webform on which I would like to do some validation. Validation: Controls should not be allowed to accept All special characters EXCEPT ALLOW letters (incl all foreign language characters), numbers, period, comma, question mark, apostrophe, ampersand, soft parentheses & hyphen. Whats the best way to implement this & how?
I need to validate a textbox that it should allow only certain characters and after the limit is reached the textbox should not allow entering characters in it.It can be done by Javascript but dont know how to do..
I'm sure this will need to use javascript but not sure exactly how to do it. I need to count the characters typed in a textbox and when it reaches 10 I want a sub to be called in the code. Or have it click a button on the screen which is probably easier. How to do this? I would think I would call the script with the OnTextChanged? And in the script use the .length property to see if it is 10? Maybe I just answered my question here!!
I am using Multi-line Textbox through which users will be able to enter data which will be saved on to the SQL Server 2008 database. There is an other process, which reads this data from the table and writes to a text file.
Problem:
If the data entered by users in text box contains <Enter> from keyboard, it is saving to the database with some spaces replacing the <Enter>.
Some how if I read the same data to a text box on webpage, it is being displayed properly.
But, if my second process that reads the data from database and prints to a text file, it is not keeping the text format properly. It is not retaining the <Enter> in the data being printed to text file.
I have a multiline textbox which can contain only 500 characters. Now i want to show the user the number of characters left as they are typing into the textbox as is the case when we use twitter.
how can I allow only alpha characters into a dynamically created textbox? I don't think I can use a regular expression validator for this issue. Unfortunately, I cannot use Ajax for this issue either.
1) Is it possible, in a multiline textbox, to automatically break to the next line after 100 characters? 2) If not, is it possible to parse the enter key as entered by the user to break the line in the code behind?
Some additional info:
The person requesting this does not think that the user should use a single line textbox limited to 100 characters and click an "Add Line" button to store that field in a table.
The person requesting this is of the belief that a DEC Alpha-based system that currently does this can be replicated on the web.
how to limit the number of characters per line in a multiline textbox? Any posibility to do this with javascript? I have the users enter a list of names and need to limit each. I hate to use another textbox to add each name. If so, I would then add them to a listbox instead so they could select and remove a name.
