Gridview Not Parsing Xml Encoded Characters Correctly
Nov 5, 2010
I'm having a problem using a xml file as datasource for my gridview.
I create this xml file myself using XMLTextWriter class, the file is created parsing an existing excel file so I don't have control over the data retrieved from the excel file. Using XMLTextWriter does encode the special characters correctly, for example: <Enter> instead of <Enter>. The problem is when I try to open this created xml for editing, I use a GridView and bind all the data but special character data is not show in the row.
Excel Data: Enter “E” or “e” and press <Enter>
XML Data: Enter “E” or “e” and press <Enter>
Data in GridView: Enter “E” or “e” and press
Is there a way to force the the GridView to decode the xml attributes correctly?
I have Russian blog built with BlogEngine.NET 1.5.
I use Russian words in links encoded with URLEncode, so links are human-readable in most browsers - FF, Chrome, Opera (except for IE, but this is not the real problem with this browser). This idea is not mine, I borrowed it from Wikipedia - it uses encoded URLs on localized sites.
The real problem is that when I am trying to add comment in IE8 it fails (and only on production machine, development environment works fine).
Using Fiddler I found out that IE tries to send AJAX callback using WebForm_DoCallback to wrong address - it seems that it decodes URL, gets wrong characters and asks page with that wrong address from server and (of course) receives 404.
Here is how incorrect request from IE looks in Fiddler:
POST /ru/post/�������������-�����.aspx HTTP/1.1
Here is how FF makes same request and gets correct response:
POST /ru/post/%D0%92%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE.aspx HTTP/1.1
I upgraded solution from default ASP.NET 2.0 for BE to ASP.NET 3.5 but this changed nothing. I made some minor changes in BE to allow properly encoded UTF links - by default it wipes out percent symbol from links.
what wrong is with IE behavior here and how to fix it? Why development environment under ASP.NET Development works different from production machine under IIS6? Why IE does not decode link in address bar (like other browsers) but does it when making request?
Why might gridview only work correctly after reloading the page in IE? And, why does it work correctly on the first page load in Firefox? How might I solve this problem? I thought of trying to instantly reload the page with Javascript if the browser is IE, but this is kind of a bad workaround.
I'm using a GridView to retrieve data from a stored procedure using a SQLDataSource (db is SQL Server 2008). When I compile my application and go to my website, all the data is loaded and shown fine. If I was to add a new entry to the table however (a seperate page on my website has a Wizard control to facilitate this) and then return to the page with the GridView, the new entry doesn't show up.
Looking from SQL Server, the data has been added, but the GridView isn't updating to show it. If I were to recompile the project with F6 and refresh the page, the new data will show up. I tried calling DataBind() on the GridView in the Page Load event, however the issue still remains.
I have a GridView in ASP.NET. I have an Edit CommandButton for every line in the GridView to edit the data on that line. All of this works fine except for the fact that when the user clicks on Update, it does not update with the correct value that the user entered. I have this as a Template field with the textbox to edit bound to the field, so it updates when the user changed the value and clicks Update. However it does not work. I have tried almost everything and its very frustrating. Here is the code for the Data Source:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="Table1DataSource" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString2 %>" InsertCommand="INSERT INTO TABLE1(ProjectId, WBS, WBSTitle, VersionId) VALUES (@ProjectId, @WBS, @WBSTitle, @VersionId)" DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM TABLE1
I cannot seem to get over this problem. Im sure it is just a simple newbie question but I just cannot find the right answer on my own.
Im using MVC 2 and ASP. NET 4.0 to biuld simple CMS. Im storing encoded HTML in XML file which then i am passing to front page controller for display.
I understand that before inserting HTML from XML into the page, it should be decoded using HttpUtility.Decode() function.
[Code]....
I expected that this sould result in inserting decoded HTML into my index.aspx page. Then browser could render my decoded content for example in bold face.
What happens is quite awkward. In page source I have encoded HTML but it renders HTML with tags. For example I see "<strong> Lorem ipsum </stong>", instead of Lorem Ipsum.
Another beginner question, I'm afraid... I was wondering if someone could tell me the easiest and most efficient way of getting the fully qualified domain name (e.g. www.google.com) from a UrlEncoded string in ASP.Net (C#).For example: http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dsome%20things%20i%20searched%20forWould give me: www.google.com(Or basically anything where I can check the domain to make sure it's correct.)I'm guessing the first step might be to UrlDecode, but since this is how I'm getting the string, I thought I'd mention it incase it's easier Encoded.
I have problems with GridView control which has template field with checkbox in it. My primary concern is that same code works for all the other GridView controls I have in different webforms, but not in this one.
This code is supposed to get the identities (ID column in GridView) and then get the values of first two selected and finally redirect them to another webform as querystrings. I double checked the GridView and they are identical (except they are binded to different datasource).
I have a GridView with a Template Field set to Checkbox. Issue is; when I click the asp:button I placed beneath the GridView to update the database, I do not get a checked value on the returned button. So it just skips my code and nothing happens.
[Code]....
Then I have my Method.
[Code]....
So when the code gets to this line if (cb != null && cb.Checked == true), the value is always False even for the checked box.
I have a gridview with 1 field that is setup to display my clients content from the DB. Within their console, i have setup to allow them to enter that fields data with HTMLEditor.The field is setup with HTMLEncode = true but anything done to the text is being displayed as actual html code on the site, so all the html tags are shown and so on. Nothing has changed on the site now for about 2 months( with the actual .aspx pages ) they are only allowed to update the content. Can anyone tell me what i can check or change to insure that the content is displayed correctly to the browser?here is the aspx code for that field:
I have a URL which is in a ASP.NET repeater control:[URL]This gets encoded to & when it gets rendered to the browser.We have tried decoding it using server side tags in the repeater, that did not work.How can i stop this from happening?[URL]
I am using a third party Web Service. I am passing a string to a function in that service, that string, which i am reading from a UTF-8 text file. The problem it that the string contain some non ASCII characters.
Now if i save that text file to ANSI format, read it in a string and pass that string to Service then it works smoothly but with UTF-8 encoded string the service throw exception [Code]....
NON ASCII characters UTF-8 encoding SOAP
I am using ASP.NET.
Third party sevice is in java. I also tried it by making a web service in .net, but there was issue there too.
When you render one of the "built in" html helpers (say "TextBoxFor") with ":" (so it's encoded) it renders fine.However if I render the following (a custom file input helper) with ":", the markup are displayed.I understand why. Just don't know how to prevent this (no, I want to stay with ":" and not use "=")(I looked at the source code for the built in ones, but can't see what I'm missing: ttp://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/23011#288010 )
I'm using ASP.NET with sql-server. I have an area where the user can enter text of a maximum amount. I encode this text as a good measure but the encoded length can be greater than this maximum amount when I try to insert it into the database.
Special characters are encoded on 3 characters. I can't show the user that he has exceeded the max amount of characters because from his perspective he hasn't. I also can't set the database field to the worst case scenario (being 3 times my max amount).
I have saved all data that comes through Input boxes using AntiXss.HtmlEncode(the text from in put box); Now all texts in my databse are HtmlEncoded So now i want to show them in text boxesSo iave to decode that ? How can i decode a text that is encoded using AntiXss
I am creating a web site in .Net 3.5 , I am converting the string into Base64String to send it through querystring.The Response.Redirect works fine for smaller string. But if the original string size is 1670,the response.redirect results in error "Page can not be found".item is the string in below code snippet.
byte[] data = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(item); return Convert.ToBase64String(data)
I have a string with 100 characters and it is for me too long in one line. I want to make NewLine after each 25 characters. 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."
I have a application that takes a tab delimited text file parses and the inserts the data. Some of the data has international characters. My problem is it appears that my application is changing the characters. For Example the file might contain something lke this Andrlová and is converting it to this Andrlov�
I am passing this into a sproc. The datatypes for my paramater & DB Field is nVarChar(50). If I insert the data directly into my table or if I call my sproc from a query window and pass in some data it works fine, but when my app touches the data it appears to get messed with.
