I'm making a simple mvc site containing a database over the movies we have at home. When i display my movies i'd like to display "the short version" of the plot, leaving the rest to be read when you actually click on the movie to see more details about it. How can I do this? Do i write some sort of limitation in the string on the index page?

View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to show only few characters in gridview column. Lets say there are 5 columns in the gridview and one of the field is the description field. assume description field is too long. So What i want is to show that description field value to 50 character limit.
my code is like this:
<asp:BoundField DataField="ProposalDescription" HeaderStyle-CssClass="endTime" HeaderText="Proposal Description" ItemStyle-CssClass="endTime"> <HeaderStyle CssClass="endTime" /> <ItemStyle CssClass="endTime" /> </asp:BoundField>

View 4 RepliesI 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 want to show just a part of a string 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."
Just a: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing..."
Which method can I use to do that?
i have string
Dim str As String = "C#app_wiod_200"
i want to remove characters from wiod in string which one is the best string function to do this.
I've got a program that in a nutshell reads values from a SQL database and writes them to a tab-delimited text file.
The issue is that some of the values in the database have special characters (TM, dash, ellipsis, etc.) When written to the text file, the formatting is lost and they come across as junk "â„¢ or â€" etc"
When the value is viewed in the immediate window, before it is written to the txt file, everything looks fine. My guess is that this is an issue of encoding. But, I'm not real sure how to proceed, where to look, or what to look for.
Is this ASCII or UTF-8? If it's one of those how do I correct it before it's written to the text file.
Here's how I build the text file (where feedStr is a StringBuilder)
objReader = New StreamWriter(filePath)
objReader.Write(feedStr)
objReader.Close()
i have a string and want to remove text up to the last forward slash, e.g
/images/UserThumbnails/22.jpg
Should now be
22.jpg
How do i go about doing this?
I'm currently working on this application that records a users email.
I was wondering if there was a function that would read the last 7 digits of the inputted user email and store it in a variable? Is there any way to do this?
I need to be able to sort by a product title and then by a products price, which is simple but I only want the title sorted on the first 3 or 4 characters. My client wants to add the brand name to the beginning of the product title and have them automatically sorted. I can a new field in the database called brand and sort by that, but wanted to know if this is possible. I've posted what I though might work but it doesn't

I guess this is probably possible with a lambda expression, but I've no experience with Lambda expressions at all.
I want to display description of product in gridview, but i want to display only 15 characters on one line, I want to break it after 15 characters, I have written countchar function as follows:
public int CountChars(string value)
{
bool lastWasSpace = false;
foreach (char c in value)
{
result++;
lastWasSpace = false;
}
return result;
}
and called function as:
string description="sdfsdfsd sdfsdf sdfsdf asdfsa dfsda safsaf sdfdf sdfs sdfsdf sdff sdf ";
CountChars(description);
And i want to check:
if(result>15)
{
after every 15 characters i want to break the line.
}
I have users emails in my database and when i retrieve those usernames, i want to remove every charecter after the @ charecter in the email for example, i have myname@domain.com i want to cut that to myname.
View 3 Repliesusing vb.net/asp.net 2005 and sql server 2005. I'm querying the database and returning text which I am then adding to a string. I'm creating a crystal report with the text however this is not a crystal report question, its about the string data. what I"m noticing is that when I show the string on the pdf that there are some strange characters at the end of the string. I am both trimming the string and taking out null characters however the strange text shows up like this:
strangeText>
SÙÇ
TÙçy|Ü
DÙÇ
$ÛÇ
</strangeText>
does anyone know what these characters are and how to get rid of them?
i want to display values in dropdownlist using querystring[which is successfully happening] but the problem is when id passed in querystring is 7.17 then in dropdownlist it is displaying values as 7 . 1 7....but i want to display it as 7 and 17...
here is a part of the code
string imageid;
string logoid;
string id1;
string id2;
String Name;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)...
string="/?UPID=1000001&One=1&Two=2"
UPID is always equal to 7 digits. I want to remove "UPID=(any 7 digits)".
I'd like the output to be:
string="/?One=1&Two=2"
Or if no query strings
string="/"
Can anyone advice of the best way to clean an input string from characters that will cause SQL Update error? For instance:
Dim sText as string = 'this is line to a break <br> before the end.'
Dim SQLString as string = "update sometable set somefield='"
& sText & "'"
Executing SQLString will fail because of the <br> it contains. how to filter out all possible characters that will cause the update query to fail?
Im looking to strip out non-numeric characters in a string in ASP.NET C#

How to programatically insert string with special characters into RTF? I have rtf template I load to string and then replace all $MY_VARIABLE$ with data. Data contains special chars like 'ąęść' and the problem is that in result file these characters are replaced with '?'. It's something wrong with encoding but what?
My code looks like:
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader("template.rtf");
StringBuilder form = new StringBuilder(reader.ReadToEnd());
// here I replace variables in rtf with data
Encoding srcEncoding = new UTF8Encoding();
Encoding dstEncoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] utf = srcEncoding.GetBytes(form.ToString());
byte[] asci = Encoding.Convert(Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.ASCII, utf);
return dstEncoding.GetString(asci);
I'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.
7 big alphabet:
[URL]
I am using silverlight / ASP .NET and C#. What if I want to do this from silverlight for instance,
// I have left out the quotes to show you literally what the characters
// are that I want to use
string password = vtakyoj#"5
string encodedPassword = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(encryptedPassword, Encoding.UTF8);
// encoded password now = vtakyoj%23%225
URI uri = new URI("http://www.url.com/page.aspx@password=vtakyoj%23%225");
HttpPage.Window.Navigate(uri);
If I debug and look at the value of uri it shows up as this (we are still inside the silverlight app),
[URL]
So the %22 has become a quote for some reason.
If I then debug inside the page.aspx code (which of course is ASP .NET) the value of Request["password"] is actually this,
vtakyoj#"5
Which is the original value. How does that work? I would have thought that I would have to go,
HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request["password"], Encoding.UTF8)
To get the original value.
I will have my string as follows
String S="AB-1233-444";
From this i would like to separate AB and would like to find out the ASCII for that 2 alphabets.
