Localization :: International Characters / Application Is Changing The Characters
Jan 5, 2011
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.
I want to create a page that can read extended characters in the QueryString. While this normally is not a problem, there is one case where I don't manage: when the QueryString is manually entered (or even pasted).
Here is a simple test-case:
[Code]....
This works fine both when clicking the hyperlink or submitting the form. However, when you enter the special characters manually in the URL, or in some browsers even when you just highlight the URL bar and click Enter to open the page, the characters will be mangled. (You may need to empty your cache or perform a forced refresh to see these results.
In Internet Explorer 8:
Clicking the hyperlink shows the characters unencoded in the URL bar. Submitting the form shows the characters double-byte encoded (for example, the first character "å" (small letter a with ring above, unicode position 0xA5) is encoded as %C3%A5 instead of just as %A5. In both cases, the output shows the correct characters.After clicking the hyperlink (which creates an URL with readable characters), clicking the URL bar to highlight the URL and pressing Enter to open the page, shows square boxes instead of the characters as output. Note that you may have force a reload of the page to see this. The same happens when you enter characters manually in the URL bar.Highlighting the URL bar and submitting the double-byte encoded URL (as it is created by the form) shows the output as it should.Manually entering single-byte encoded characters ("%A5%B8%A6") will again show boxes instead of characters.
I currently trying to convert a ASP.NET MVC2 application to ASP.NET MVC3 razor. I have a lot custom Html helper methods, which render html output, like the one below, which renders a button with some markup :
I have a WebForm search page that gets occasional hits from international visitors. When they enter in text, it appears to be plain ASCII a-z, 0-9 but they are printed in bold and my "is this text" logic can't handle the input. Is there any easy way in ASP.NET to convert unicode characters that equate to A-Z, 0-9 into plain old text?
I have one web page that has some spanish contents , in design view it shows fine , but when I view it in browser, it shows gibberish character, for instance: i have following character in desing view Unión and it gets dispalyed UniÃn in browser what am I doing wrong, or is there any reference I am missing.
when I am searching for Title , my search is working properly for English Titles,But it is not working for the remaining languages like chinese,Tamil etc...,
for this I did following Configurations in .aspx page and web.config side.
Can anyone tell me the best way of storing Japanese characters through ASP.NET. I have to put characters into a asp:textbox on one page, which saves it to an Access DB. On a second page I want to display the content in a asp:label. Should I store the characters directly to the database or should they be encoded, and how do I encode the characters? In my web.config i have:
I spent a couple days to try to find the solutions online. I am developing a web site which needs to display some Chinese characters. In the MasterPage, I put
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in the <Head>.
In the MasterPage there are are navigation menus which are Chinese character. I have a web page Default.aspx which uses the MasterPage. In Default.aspx I have some <asp:Label>s which are Chinese characters. On the local computer, I can see all of the Chinese characters. But the problem is: after I ftp all of the files to my web server (DiscountAsp.Net), I only can see the Chinese characters in the MasterPage, I can not see the Chinese characters which belongs to the Default.aspx. Instead of Chinese characters, it displayed weird letters.
We have some software that works with a sql database, our customers want to use japanese characters. When they try and use it with our softare and save the characters through a form, the characters get corrupted. They have said that if we change the charater encoding in our database that we can save jap characters. What im workdering is if we do this will it affect the current data and do our forms have to be rewritten to handle these characters?
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 am using mySQL. I have separate tables for several languages. When I display the Greek statements I seem to be limited to between 192 and 201 characters. That is not the problem with English, Danish, Dutch, Russian, or Farsi. I am using the same code for each with the only change being which table is opened. (In fact I just took the Dutch code and changed only the name of the table I'm opening to the Greek table and had the same problem.)The problem is that I've also double checked the statements in the table and they are complete, e.g., some have up to 255 characters.
My daabase has lots of german characters stored. While I read it from DB and display it in the gidview, everything is fine. The Gridview displays the german characters perfectly in the browser.After the display phase, when I read the data from the gridview as gridview.rows[1].cells[2].text, I get some special characters - But the gridview shows the text as 'ä' in the first row, second column. But while reading it back it gives
I am working on a website where the content has to be displayed in English, Polish, Slovak and Czech. Currently, everytime a special character used in the non-english languages (such as Á or â), it displays as just a normal A or a. I've traced the problem down to the database. Currently the collation is "Latin1_General_CI_AS", and when the special foreign characters are put on to the server, the server saves it as a normal standard english character.
I've looked at several answers, but most seem to change the database collation within the SQL query, and this is something that isn't feasible for me to do (due to the size of the site). What I'm trying to do is find a collation for the database that will allow the foreign characters to be saved as well as the english characters (a bit like how UTF-8 works in HTML).
need information regarding how to use Unicode characters in ASP.NET in SDK and what are the data types to be used in it. I have come accross this concept for the first time..All I know id basically we want support for all languages that's why we have opted for Unicode support.
We are migrating a ASP application to ASP.Net 2.0 . Old applciation is displaying the Japanese characters perfectly. Its uses ADODB connection and command. ASP.Net uses ODBC to connect. But the characters are not displaying properly in Japanese.Charset used is "shift-JIS".
i have the follwoing piece of code. what i would like is to display the first 20 characters of the label. does anyone know how i can do this? also, i would like it to display whole words and not cut them off half way through and then display at the end '...' so the user knows there is more text to come. does this need to look for some kind of white space?
I am using StringLengthValidator in my web service code which is configured with my local web application code. When I am running my web application on local, it's runnuing fine, but when I am running the application on server, it's wirting StringLengthValidator validation message as error message in error log file as 'value must be within 50 characters'. Both the time database is same and also the maximum length of value is 41 characters. Then why application running fine on local and on server it is showing error message in error log file as 'value must be within 50 characters' .
