View 2 RepliesI have a list of character that display fine in WebBrowser in the form of encoded characters such as € � ... But when posting these characters onto server to I realized that HttpUtility.HtmlDecode cannot convert them to characters as browser did, they all become space.
text = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("€");
I expect it to return € but it return space instead. The same thing happen for some other characters as well.
It took me a little while to figure this out, but the AllowPaging="true" on the FormView seems to be the culprit. I don't have much experience paging from a FormView, but for this requirement the customers wants this kind of UI.I have a FormView with DefaultMode="Edit", which is bound to an EntityDataSource. One of the entity's properties, "ExternalID", determines whether some of the other properties in the entity are read-only. For example, if IsExternal==null, the FirstName, LastName, and Email fields should be rendered as TextBoxes. If IsExternal!=null, the 3 properties should be rendered in Label controls.
View 2 RepliesI have a url which I wish to encode that contains a couple of encrypted querystring parameters:
[URL]
I've been asked by a client I'm working with to html encode this url. I've used HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() to do this. This returned the following:
[URL]
This appears to be correct as the '&' has been replaced with '&'. However a problem arises when I try to use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode() on this new value as I get the following returned:
[URL]
What appears to have occurred is the '&' has had the 'amp' removed and the ';' has been html encoded (I checked the value of '%3b' and it corresponds with the html encoded value of a semi-colon). I'm not sure why this is happening?
I realise I could manually do a .Replace("%3b", "") as a temporary fix but I can't see this being a good long-term solution.
.Net's System.Web.HttpUtility class defines the following function to parse a query string into a NameValueCollection:
public static NameValueCollection ParseQueryString(string query);
Is there any function to do the reverse (i.e. to convert a NameValueCollection into a query string)?
Uri uri = new Uri(redirectionUrl);
NameValueCollection col = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uri.Query)
uri.Query is already decoded - so is there any way I can prevent ParseQueryString decoding it again?Apart from that - is there another method to retrieve a name value collection from a Uri without modifying any components?
I am trying to render html encoded string that is stored in SQL Server into human readable form. The HttpUtility.Decode does not decode the text that is rendered in between the open tag and closing tag of any input tag (ie. TextBox or TextArea or Select) in my ASPX page. However, HttpUtility.Decode works fine if the text is not in an input tag. The following is my test code. For example, the value of AdmitDX field in database is "Someone's comment" which is "Someone's comment" when decoded. The first two code nuggets <%%> will show as "Someone's comment" and the thrid code nugget will show "Someone's comment".
<!-- the following two lines have html encoded text, instead of html decoded text -->
<%= Html.TextArea("AdmitDX", HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(thisTransfer.AdmitDX))%>
<%= Html.TextBox("AdmitDX", HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(thisTransfer.AdmitDX)) %>
<!-- the next line works fine -->
Test = <%= HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(thisTransfer.AdmitDX) %>
I have a text area and I want to store the text entered by user in database with html formatting like paragraph break, numbered list. I am using HTMLencode and HTMLdecode for this.Sample of my code is like this:
string str1 = Server.HtmlEncode(TextBox1.Text);
Response.Write(Server.HtmlDecode(str1));
If user entered text with 2 paragraphs, str1 shows characters between paragraphs. but when it writes it to screen, just append 2nd paragraph with 1st. While I'm decoding it, why doesn't it print 2 paragraphs?
I have written a tiered application for a mate of mine to store and manage his massive CD collection. When I save the Album name I HTMLEnchode the input. I then use a drop down list on another page that pulls back all the Albums liked to a Specific artist but when i get the data back from my Object data source the data is still enchoded. At what point do i need to decode the data? Is it right at the begining in the DAL or in the actual drop down list.
View 3 RepliesTrying to protect against XSS on a CMS I'm working and I therefore encode all necessary client input but on retrieval from DB, I'm getting all these funny HTML characters displayed on the HTML Page as a result of the encoding.
I'm considering appending a decode on retrieval but I'm wondering what the point of the inital encoding is if I decode eventually.
Please how do I effectively mitigate the XSS issue using the encode/decode avenue.
This stems from a recent similiar issue: I have since add edit capabilities.My access db is made up of imported records from recipes. In the memo fields are paragraphs users have typed replete with ingredients listed in succession (1 per line) then a normal paragraph follows. When in editmode(multi line textbox), suddenly in each line ends with <br>. How to fix this? I want to preserve the line breaks od course.
View 2 RepliesI'm not having much fun with connection pooling. The website I've written does dip into the SQL server all the time and quite a lot of times per page. Every time I nip into the SQL Server to get or set something I open a connection...
comGeneral.Connection.Open()
... do or get what I need and then close it. From what I've read any of the following should close the connection and return "one connection" (?) to the pool (top one, only if reading)....
rdrGeneral = comGeneral.ExecuteReader(Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
comGeneral.Connection.Dispose()
comGeneral.Connection.Close()
... but that's not really working for me and I keep hitting the default max 100 open pools. So I've been doing all 3 of the above (again, top one, only if reading). But alas, still the stupid thing (Yes, I am aware I'm the stupid one) keeps hitting the max.
My new plan is to set pooling to false (pooling = false ?) across the entire website and take the performance hit which wont be terrible because I don't really do anything too demanding. Trouble is I don't know how, other than setting Pooling = False, but where exactly in the webconfig would this bit of code go?
As the title of this post already mentioned, I'm using a modal popup window to edit rows in the gridview. One column in the gridview contains an URL code. When I fire the edit button a popup opens and show the URL in a textbox in this format: [URL]
When I am using the Server.HTMLDecode function, the modal popup doesn't close anymore.
I am using the following code:
[Code]....
The funny thing is, when I change it to: txtURL.Text = row.Cells[3].Text; then I can close the modal popup, but unfortunately it is not decoded.
How can I run HtmlDecode on data that is going from a database to a gridview in the following way:
aspx file, part of GridView

I want to run HtmlDecode on 'TheQuestion' item (part of the QuestionObject) before (or as) I bind it to the GridView.
Can I do that, or do I need to go further back in the code somehow first?

What is the difference between HttpUtility.HtmlEncode and Server.HTMLEncode in c#
View 1 Replieswhy ''' is not getting converted to single quotes while using server.htmldecode()?

View 3 RepliesDoes Webconfig in asp.net is same for Multiple Users or diffrent?
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.net website running with the authentication mode on the web.config file is Windows. The webpages at the root do not need to have login & password form.
Now I created a subfolder called 'reports' and would like to implement a few web pages with the login & password authentication form.
Question, do I need to create another web.config file in the 'reports' folder and update the authentication mode="Forms"?
I specified to have a user creation wizard that accepts a password with NO alphanumeric characters:
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="watermeConnectionString" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="5" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="(?=.{6,})[a-z]+[^a-z]+|[^a-z]+[a-z]+"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>
still, I do get the error that I have to provide at least one alphanumeric character.I do so and the error is still the same.why? is my regex wrong? I also took out the "confirm password" step. is that ok?
