Localization :: Weird Spanish Characters On Websites
Dec 29, 2010
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 Unión in browser what am I doing wrong, or is there any reference I am missing.
I am reading names from a file, some of them have special spanish characters like this: ñ
My end goal is to replace the special characters, however when I read the names into a string and then put a breakpoint and run my program in debug to see what I'm reading in my watch window shows a square in place of the special characters as if it's having problems reading the special characters.
EX:Muñoz from the file
is displayed
Mu�oz in my vb.net string
what I need to do so that my vb.net code and correctly read the special characters?
Using vb.net 2005/asp.net I thought I had the issue solved: I have some strings with spanish characters such as "ñ" and I need to replace characters with their non-spanish equivalent, ex: the example I just mentioned would be changed to "n".
I recently switched from freetextbox to the built in Ajax editor because of issues ftb had with update panels. The Ajax editor works great except for one problem, it messes up my spanish characters. For instance, it will replace ñ with ? and post the to my database. Is there anyway to not make it do this and leave it as the actual ñ ? if the same characters is placed in a standard textbox it will submit with no problem.
Every few days when my webpage is accessed strange characters are embedded in the URL like this:[URL] I did some searches on the internet and found that if the characters begin with the letter 'S', it is the session id used when cookieless is set to true. In my case the beginning letter is 'A', and i couldn't find anything about that. This is bad because once these strange characters appear, all the submenus in my page will disappear (I had another post about his menu problem in here:[URL]
Once I restart the webpage in IIS the URL will become normal again, but it will appear again in a few days. Does anyone know what these strange characters (that begin with 'A') are? How to avoid them?
I'm suffering a well known problem with globalization, but, I tried to find the answer in the forum and got nothing. My computer has regionalization or globalization from Colombia, as i live there. I made my site and when I published I started to get errors on dates. This errors happen because in Spanish the date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy' being dd:day, MM:month and yyyy:year. In English the date format is 'MM/dd/yyyy'.There is any form or way to correct this in the entire site?? Maybe something in the web.config file?
In my website I use a <asp:menu> control in the master page. And I use Web.sitemap file to define the menu items. And everything works fine.But every few days when I click on the menu item tabs to change to another page, strange characters are embedded in the URL like this:
(supposed to be just http://www.mydomain.com/nextPage.aspx)
By checking the following MSDN link I realize that these strange characters stands for anonymous user: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479315.aspx
However, I already set the following in web.config:
but these strange characters are still inserted into the URL every few days.Once it happens, I need to restart the website, or restart or recycle the Application Pools in IIS, then it will become normal again.
I wrote a small .NET applications that removes all line breaks in aspx/html/css code to make it harder to read for people trying to steal my design. And surprisingly I get weird characters that appear out of nowhere such as Â, » and others. They all stay at the same places, but I have no clue why they appear.
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.
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 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 givesä
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".
the account we use to copy/publish websites to our web server is not allowing us access to push websites. I've added this account to the permissions in the links listed in the below link, but i don't have success when trying to push remotely. When the account is in the local admins account, everything works flawlessly, but we are not allowed to have it in there. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/31be047e-4716-4974-b8a1-be0111b50199 I've googled and searched a lot for this particular error, but am not finding an answer that helps. We get this error, 'Unable to create the Web 'http://edea01/test/planning'. You are not authorized to perform the current operation', and the above link is the scenario that matches mine the most. I don't do develompment work, but am asked to figure out this connection problem.
Why would a DropDownList switch from Spanish into English when one selects a new item in it? And how does one prevent that from happening?
[Code]....
When you first come to this page after having chosen Spanish as your language, the dropdown is populated with the ListItems texts displaying -- as expected -- in Spanish. But when you go to select another item from the dropdown, all the items come back in English!
When you examine the dropdown before the AutoPostBack (both server-side and in FireBug), each ListItem is properly set, as in
Value="Some English" Text="Some Español" whereas **after** the PostBack, it looks like Value="Some English" Text="The same English"
Why is this happening, and what can I do to get it to keep the Spanish one sees before any PostBacks?
**Notes**:
1. The routine pointed to in `OnSelectedIndexChanged` is currently commented out, so the problem is not there.
2. I added `EnableViewState="true"` to the DropDownList, but that didn't make any difference, so I removed it.
3. As suggested below by Ichiban, I moved setting the `Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture` from `Page_Load` to `Page_Init()`, but that too didn't make any difference.
Google's webmaster tools has started showing some very strange internal links for my site. It appears "normal", but I'm not sure what to make of it. If you use parentheses and put in a single letter, then put literally anything in parentheses after that, the link works. I did a search for any other MVC sites so I could see if they had the same behavior. Microsoft's site came up at the top of the list with an odd link as well. The search terms were "asp.net mvc site" and the first link I got was for: [URL]
I don't like this at all. You can change the S to an A or any other letter, and then put any text you want in the next section. Anyone know how to stop it? For the life of me I can't see anything wrong with my routes. I used MVC so I wouldn't have strange url's floating around in search engines so this is pretty disappointing. Nearest I can guess from the Google "internal links" list is that it may be a cookie. But I can't find any circumstance when I view the source on my site where I see anything but the proper relative links.
I am doing the music store tutorial, and I discovered a problem, I don't know how to solve this. I am in Argentina, and our decimals have this format: '0.000,00' instead of the american format: '0,000.00'. I add the:
[Code]....
But now in the form when I write a number in this format '00,00' It shows me the message "Price must be between 0.01 and 100.00", but if I change that number to one in the '00.00' format, the client validator is hidden and It allows me to save, but then the server validation returns the following message: "The value '34.34' is not valid for Price." Cause when trying to save It must be waiting for a 00,00 formatted number. So...
Recently I got a strange behavior, the website hangs and just doesn't reply unless I go to iis and restart either app pool or whole IIS - BUT what is the most strange thing is that in case I go to remote desktop of the server and try to access it locally it DOES work just fine. I read couple threads about deadlocking and hanging because of memory leaks and non closed sql connections BUT why it still does work from the local?In case there is something wrong with the code - why does it still work from locally?
