Web Forms :: UrlEncode Does Not Appear To Be Encoding Apostrophe's?
Sep 2, 2010
I have spent quite a bit of time researching this here on Asp.Net's Forums, but also on the web in general, and I am still drawing a blank.
The problem: I am trying pass a values such as ... "Jacob's Carpentry" as a query string to another page. However, the other pages keeps seeing "Jacob\s Carpentry".
What I have tried: I have tried using both the Server.UrlEncode and HttpUtility.UrlEncode, and neither have worked. I have also tried using them twice as was suggested in this article, but still with no luck. Finally, I went so far as to try and encode the string, but then do a String.Replace on the " ' " apostrophe and substitute with a "%27". This also did not work, as it appeared that the String.Replace wiped out the encoding.
So I am stuck/lost. It appears the standard PHP functions easily encode the apostrophe, but for some reason the .Net function isn't working.
Here is the code I am using ...
[Code]....
I notice, however, then if I put a breakpoint where the PostBackUrl is set, the encoded string is still only showing "Jacob's+Carpentry", no %27.
So I have a Hyperlink called lnkTwitter:And I'm trying to set the url in the code behind:lnkTwitter.NavigateUrl = string.Format("http://www.twitter.com/home?status={0}", Server.UrlEncode("I'm Steven"));When I do that and hover over the link, the url displays correctly in the status bar as "http://www.twitter.com/home?status=I'm+Steven", but the actual url, if I click on the link or look at the link's properties, is "http://www.twitter.com/home?status=I%27m+Steven".For some reason, this only happens in Firefox; in IE, I am taken to the correct url.
Have an issue with the HTML editor. Whenever somebody uses an apostophe ( ' ) in the editor and then clicks save (which will send an update to the database) it is taking the apostrophe as part of my command line and it is returning an error. I used a replace to change the apostophe into an encoded html tag but then it was changing it for all the <div> and <span> created by the editor which was causing none of the code to work. how I can encode the apostrophe without encoding the code? Here's my code:
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.
Im pulling out a text field from the database which has and 's in it for line breaks. Which I have left there for pupose of being able to edit the fields later on.
So when i try to display the text I need to replace them which I have done with:
[Code]....
Simple enough. Only when I run the page the source code I get for it is:
<br />
So it seems its not encoding the < as a encode but into the form <
Does anyone know how to stop this happen. Or a method around it?
What is the best way to encode the url in Hyperlink without writing code behind. I have many uses and I would like to do it in the Hyperlink statemeent if possible. Some thing such as the following would be great: (This does not work)
For protect against XSS we should make all input from textboxes thoht Server.Htmlencode function.

2) I use Server.Htmlencode.. and the user write <b>ss<b>... (label.text = userinput.text;) and i WANT to show ss in browser. What shuld i do for make this happen ??
In my XML, it's possible for an apostrophe to appear in a node's value:
[Code]....
If I have controls bound to this XML:
[Code]....
I've noticed that the text is correctly displayed in the asp:TextBox but not in the INPUT element. I'm assuming that it's because server controls correctly escape the apostrophe. To work around this, I tried changing the Description node in the XML to the following:
[Code]....
Again, this displayed correctly in the asp:TextBox, but not in the INPUT element.
My next attempt was to wrap the node's value in a CDATA:
[Code]....
Finally it was displaying correctly in the INPUT element, but now the asp:TextBox displayed the two "& # 3 9 ;". I've even tried "& a p o s ;" but the result is the same.
which doesn't work because of the final apostrophe in the notation i.e. %>' It truncates after the word e.g O'Neil Someone becomes O' which is incorrect.
This works like a charm: value='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Name").ToString().Replace("'", "'")%>' which isn't good practice as I don't want to hardcode '
i have a requirement to encode the url in javascript and in redirected page i can't use javascript so i must decode the url back in code. so i needs a javascript encode method which encodes url like URLEncode method of asp.net so that i can decode it in code with UrlDecode method

So I found an example on how to search gridview using filterexpressions on this site (Filter GridView with TextBox using FilterExpression in SqlDataSource in ASP.Net), but now if I try to search with an apostrophe in the textbox, the code fails.

Can someone lead me to understanding when to set the encoding for the email step when sending new member emails. For instance what is the default or how can I tell what it is or if I want to set it in the SendMail event in code. See the thing I am wondering is when is it applied? If I set the MailDefinition-From in the html part then in code using the SendMail event set the encoding using
e.Message.From = new MailAddress("foo@bar.com","foo",System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
then I assume that it must actually get applied when the email is sent. Is that correct?
.Net 4.0 is encoding values when using Attributes.Add. In previous versions it didn't. With the new behaviour it is no longer possible to write attributes containing single quotes.Here's an example.
We have a website that processing products from various web shops! Users of these web shops can send products for our site what will store these products in our database. Users are sending in products through the post method of the form, and within the form the data is in hidden imput fields! Our site using UTF-8 charset, and this service is working like a charm together with other pages that has utf8 chaset too. The problem comes when someone using our service from a site that has other charset then utf8, for example: iso-8859-2.This case the special hungarian characters, like "íéáűőúöüó" are replaced with a '�' character!We have tried to convert the incoming string on server side but that case the '�' has been replaced by '?'. - still not acceptable :)
