Reading Characters From An Unknown Character Encoding?
Feb 17, 2011
I have a string that came from an old database of unknown character encoding. I am having trouble encoding/filtering the string to show the correct text.What the data looks like in the database: Marronnière à quatre pansWhat we need the string to show up as: Marronnière à quatre pansSpecifically, I am having trouble parsing the string so I can display the character à (à)This is an asp.Net 2.0 site written in VB using a Sql Server 2005 Database. Not sure if it matters, but data comes from a column with this collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASI've tried encoding the string to various encodings in the code to no avail. I've also passed the string (encoded different ways) into a byte array to find a unique byte pattern for the bad characters without success.

I have written a web mailer that can send and receive emails and display them on a webpage.I have a problem displaying special characters though. Like Russian, and Greek and chinese.I am using openpop.net and I can get the encoding of the incoming email as one of my variables.Thing is, how do I display it? Do I set the content encoding of the whole page to what that specific email encoding is?I've got it UTF-8 at the moment and I get garbage.

I have a problem in my asp.net 3.5 application (C#) when I try to render in my pages characters like 'è' which are shown in a very strange manner (if i'm lucky i get a ? mark in my web page). in fact Expression Web, when i open my web site, substitutes the è char with �...How can I tell asp.net that I want to use a particular charset so that i can write in the html source letters like è without using hexadecimal codes??????I tried in the web.config this:inside the system.web namespace of the file but nothing works...

I'm storing some html-encoded data in a sql server database and I've written a script to output the data in a csv format minus the html tags and I'm getting a weird issue when html-decoding the remaining data. For example the data contains a quote character (which is html-encoded as ’), but when I try to html-decode it the data comes out as a series of weird characters (’). Does anyone know how to solve this issue? The output encoding of the page is UTF-8 if that helps.

I am doing some url redirections in a project that I am currently working on. I am new to web development and was wondering what the best practise was to remove any illegal path characters, such as ' ? etc.I'm hoping I don't have to resort to manually replacing each character with their encoded urls.I have tried UrlEncode and HTMLEncode, but UrlEncode doesn't cater for the ? and HTMLEncode doesn't cater for 'E.G. If I was to use the following:
Dim name As String = "Dave's gone, why?"
Dim url As String = String.Format("~/books/{0}/{1}/default.aspx", bookID, name)
Response.Redirect(url)
I've tried wrapping url like this:Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.UrlEncode(url)AndDim encodedUrl As String = Server.HTMLEncode(url)

For some reason the encoding on my website has gone wrong. Turkish characters that were working before are now coming out in '?'. I have not touched anything. Our regular developer is away so I'm not sure if he touched anything. The text has been working on this page till recently and on the previous years page. That has now been affected to. I have set the following statement in the <head> section:
< meta
http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Unicode UTF-8 has worked in the past.
When I view the encoding in Internet Explorer 8 tools menu it is saying 'Western European(ISO)'. In my test environment, encoding is showing up as Unicode UTF-8 and hence the code is correct. So my question is, why is the encoding change to Western European (ISO) and how can I change?

I'm passing "Malmö" as a Request.QueryString parameter to a page. However, the code sees it as "Malm�" meaning that string comparison fails. All globalization settings are set to UTF-8 in web.config. Am I missing something?
Edit: The querystring looks like this http://localhost/PageName/?courseKommun=Malm%F6

I have an asp.net / C# page which takes a comment, and then emails that comment. Sometimes when the user enters "&" in the comment, the comment is being truncated. So for example if the comment is "test & test" the email only sends out "test ".
I have tried HttpUtility.HtmlEncode - but it looks like the issue is on the outlook side and not on the C# side.

Has anyone else encountered a problem with Framework 4 automatically html encoding multilingual characters?I am uploading a spreadsheet with both English and Spanish characters. When I preview it on the page everything looks great however as soon as I attempt to pass it to the stored procedure the non-roman characters are being automatically converted to, what looks like, html encoding.This code worked flawlessly in 3.5 and has not been touched. The only change is that I switched to framework 4 however I haven't seen anything indicating that this would be a problem for me.

buildLetter.Append("</head>").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("<style type="text/css">").AppendLine();
Assume the above contents resides in a file. I want to write a snippet that removes any line which has empty string "" and put escape character before the middle quotations. The final output would be:
buildLetter.Append("</head>").AppendLine();
buildLetter.Append("<style type="text/css">").AppendLine();
The outer " .... " is not considered special chars. The special chars may be single quotation or double quotation. I could run it via find and replace feature of Visual Studio. However, in my case i want it to be written in c# or VB.NET

I've been working on this very simple problem for days. I really don't know what's wrong. I have an insert statement that saves the Category Code, Call Number, and other details of a book to an SQL Server Database. The code is found below. The bold font is the one having the problem.
neither the code, nor the stored procedure has an error. The only problem I have is that the Category Code of "CHM" for instance, is reduced to a single character "C". The same thing happens with all other category codes that were inserted. Only the first character is saved. This is odd, because the Call Number, which has the same data type and string length, does not suffer the problem. It is saved with an intact 3 number of characters in the database. I left a breakpoint on the part that captures the content of the string variable CategoryCode, and it clearly contains a total of 3 characters. I also executed the stored procedure directly in the database, and it's also saving 3 characters. However, when ASP.NET connects to the database using that stored procedure, it always save a single character for category code.
public static string Insert(string Title, string Author, string CategoryCode, string CallNumber, int NoOfCopies, string Details, string UserID, string InsertType, DateTime DateUpdated)

Using vb.net/asp.net
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?
