How determine if a string has been encoded programmatically in C#?
Lets for example string:
<p>test</p>
I would like have my logic understand that this value it has been encoded..
We are sending an HTML encoded string in the Query string. It was working fine on IIS 6 (windows 2003). We have recently moved the website to Windows 2008 (IIS 7.x). Since the move any Query String that contains "+" sign i.e., "%2b" gives error on the server "404 -File or directory not found."
View 2 RepliesAnother 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.
View 2 RepliesI 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.
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 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 am really struggling deserializing a PHP json encoded string in ASP.NET.I am using nusoap and CakePHP 1.3 on the PHP side and mvc.net 4.0 on the web service side and everything was working well. However, I couldn't figure out how to pass a complex array as one parameter of the webservice, so I had the idea of serializing it as json and passing a simple string. So far so good...
$args['products'] = json_encode($booking['Booking']['prs_products']);

I've added a CKEditor instance programmatically to my page in the code-behind of my ASP.NET page:
VB.NET:
itemEditor = New CkEditor
cell.Controls.Add(itemEditor)
... which works fine. I can get the HTML on the postback and do stuff with it.
However, I also want to do some client-side stuff with it, specifically take a selected item out of another control, and insert it into the text by handling the onchange event.
So, how can I get the name of the editor instance in the JavaScript, so that I can do stuff like:

I have a method that takes a LINQtoSQL object and a field name and will tell me the length of that field based on the attributes of that field within the class object. I want to use this method to set the maxlength of any bound textboxes in a gridview. I can loop through all textboxes, and if the textbox created from a bound field then i can get at the fieldname ok, however if it's created from a template i can't find any way of getting to the field name the textbox is bound to (since a template isn't bound to anything). What i'm after is a way of getting the field name the Text property of a TextBox is bound to in (ideally) any case, not just the case where it was created from a bound field.
View 23 RepliesMy web application is a product which has to deploy to a variety of web servers. Is there a way to determine the account name that the .Net worker process account is using at runtime?
View 1 RepliesI have an application that I would like to be able to allow the user to modify multiple characteristics of each record within a datagrid.
Most characteristics require data to be entered in a text box but some a check box would be more appropriate.
My question is does a gridview column need to have all the same item template controls? or could I read from the database the control type and dynamically alter the template control for each row as it loads?
In ASP.net what's the best way I can parse a string to determine if it's a valid URL?
View 2 RepliesI'm developing an sms application in c#. The service that I use to send a message only allows characters form the 7 bit alphabet. I'm looking for a way to check if a message only contains characters from this alphabet.
My first idea was to split the message into a character array and then loop these characters and compare them to the alphabet. But I bet there is a much better.

Is there a method anywhere in the .NET framework or System.Web that will tell me whether a string contains an HTML or is one?
Should I just Server.HtmlEncode(myString) and see if its length is longer than myString's length before encoding?
I would like to get the html code a view would generate in a string, modify it in my controller, then add it to my JsonResult.
I found code that would do what i'm talking about from a partial. I would like to do it from an aspx View though.
Extra explanation:
Let's say I have a page Frame.aspx that /Controller/Frame will return I would like to get my hand on the response before it out so I can to wrap it with jsonp. I do not wish to edit the return result in code every time, this is why I want to load the view programmatically.
/Controller/Frame currently returns Frame.aspx's content: <html><body>hello</body></html>
Let's say there's a function that renders a view in a string builder
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
RenderView(sb, "Frame");
now take sb and wrap it with jsonp:

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.
MyDataSource is a datasource stored in a session passed through a search page
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
gridview1.DataSource = Session["MyDataSource"]; [code]....
dates appearing in this gridview display as M/d/yyyy + time for example 12/31/2010 00:00:00
My Question: i need a way to display date as d/M/yyyy with no time for example 31/12/2010 usually i do this by setting the gridview properties htmlencode=false and dateformatstring="{0:M-dd-yyyy}" but in this case the gridview dont show any field because it bind data only at run time
I am curious to know the reasons why the HTTP request encodes(URLEncoded) all the parameters before sending it across the network in POST request.
View 1 RepliesI'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 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]
View 2 RepliesI 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?

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 )
