As part of our app, user can save some data as XML on server which becomes RSS feed for them. Now some of the file user created have & in file name as BB&T_RSS.xml. So when user point this to [URL], they won't get his. I tried BB%26T.xml, BB&T.xml without any success with IE, Chrome
View 2 Repliesi want to put this text
€
in the text of a dropdownlistitem, so at runtime it will show the euro sign
but .net nicely escapes my code, and then it becomes this:
€
and that will show in my dropdownlist, and that's not what i want.
Any other way to show € £ etc in a dropdownlist is accepted too.
code:
private void FillDropDownCurrency(DropDownList ddl)
{
ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem() { Value = CurrencyConstants.CHF_CURRENCY_CODE, Text = CurrencyConstants.CHF_CURRENCY_SYMBOL, Selected = false });
ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem() { Value = CurrencyConstants.GBP_CURRENCY_CODE, Text = CurrencyConstants.GBP_CURRENCY_SYMBOL, Selected = false });
ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem() { Value = CurrencyConstants.EURO_CURRENCY_CODE, Text = CurrencyConstants.EURO_CURRENCY_SYMBOL, Selected = true });
ddl.Items.Add(new ListItem() { Value = CurrencyConstants.USD_CURRENCY_CODE, Text = CurrencyConstants.USD_CURRENCY_SYMBOL, Selected = false });
}
The CurrencyConstants.EURO_CURRENCY_SYMBOL is the € code
I have the need to add a javascript include to my ASP.NET page. The url of the javascript file has two key/value pairs in the query string. But the ampersand is being escaped and I don't want that.
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude("myKey",
"https://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&s=1")
This results in the following HTML:
<script
src="https://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&s=1"
type="text/javascript"></script>
But what I really want is:
<script
src="https://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&s=1"
type="text/javascript"></script>
I have a server control that needs to programmatically inject a JavaScript reference into the page. It is to reference Microsoft's Bing map control which requires &s=1 to be appended to the script URL for use over SSL. The problem is that the .NET Framework encodes the attributes and changes the & to an & (verified with Reflector). At some point after that the & is removed altogether.
Desired script tag:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&s=1">
</script>
Attempt 1:
var clientScriptManager = this.Page.ClientScript;
if (!clientScriptManager.IsClientScriptIncludeRegistered(this.GetType(), "BingMapControl"))
{
clientScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptInclude(
this.GetType(), "BingMapControl",
"https://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&s=1");
}
Attempt 2:
HtmlGenericControl include = new HtmlGenericControl("script");
include.Attributes.Add("type", "text/javascript");
include.Attributes.Add("src",
"https://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&s=1");
this.Page.Header.Controls.Add(include);
If I have an & in the URL I get a bad request. I have followed the instructions at [URL] but still no luck. If I remove
[Code]....
from web.config it works. Encoding the URL does not help.
I use the following string format to navigate between webpages:
String.Format(Eval("Hyper") + "?BUSINESSSTREAM={0}&Dealer={1}&LeadID={2}&Companyid={3}&SalesPerson={4}", Eval("BusinessStream"), Eval("Dealer"),Eval("leadId"),Eval("CompanyID"),Eval("SalesPerson"))
However the companyid is a text string and the company may have an "&" in it which I know will truncate the string. I have seen that this can be overcome by using "UrlEncode" [URL] However I cant solve the syntax.
I need to be able to navigate through the file system from an asp.net page and gather metadata on files, directories ... The simple code I've put together makes a list of directories/files in a given location and has everything displayed as a link button. My problem is with link buttons under which I have paths that include ampersands and blanks. Here's a sample of code:
[Code]....
The Response.Redirect("aPage.aspx?d="+ e.CommandArgument.ToString()); line has the problem ... the e.CommandArgument.ToString() shows a truncated path that stops just before the first ampersand detected. I tried escaping the ampersand with a backslash but it did not work ... somehow I guess it's not exactly the character that's causing the problem ..
I'm using the Google Places API to discover information on a restaurant. [URL] ....
I need my name parameter to contain an & because I am looking for D'Agostino's Pizza & Pub. But I am not sure what my URL needs to look like, because my requests are returning no matches. I am trying:
maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=41.8957646,-87.6553512&radius=5000&types=restaurant|food&name=D'Agostino's Pizza %26 Pub&key=<mykey>. But is that even right?
I believe the search should return results, because in google if you type "D'Agostino's restaurant north ogden avenue Chicago IL", it's a perfect match there.
1. How to read a query string if the data contains a '&' in it.
E.g.:
Default.aspx?id=1275&msg=abc&cba
after reading the query stringÂ
id = 1275
msg = abc&cba
I have this simple regex string to validate emails. It worked fine until someone came along with an email address that contained an ampersand:
^(['_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)(.['_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)(.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(.[a-zA-Z]{2,5})$
how I can alter this to accept the & symbol? I have tried countless ways with no success.
I'm trying to connect to my sql server 2008 database and I'm using impersonation within my asp.net 3.5 application
<identity impersonate="true" userName="testUserName" password="test&test" />
Naturally the compiler won't compile until I use the escape character:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="testUserName" password="test&test" />
So it compiles, unfortunately when I run my app, it get this:
Parser Error Message: Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Source Error:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="testUserName" password="test&test" />
I'm using Entity Framework 4 for a simple app and would like to bake my connection credentials into the following connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyEntities"
connectionString="metadata=res://*/MyDataModel.csdl|res://*/MyDataModel.ssdl|res://*/MyDataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=localhostDEV;Initial Catalog=MyDB;UserId=myUser;Password=jack&jill;MultipleActiveResultSets=True""
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
However, the password (which I cannot change) contains an ampersand. ASP.NET throws:
Configuration Error: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line XX, position YYY.
If I replace the ampersand in the password with &, I get a SqlException: Login failed for user 'myUser'. Usually this trick works, but I'm guessing that something is failing because this is technically a connection string inside a connection string.
What should I do here? Most of my classes include code like:
using (var context = new MyEntities()) {
// do work
}
Update: It turns out that the credentials I am using are a domain account, so what I really need is Integrated Security=True in the connection string rather than a password.
Encoding the ampersand as indicated in the accepted answer should work fine, though I haven't tested it.
My employer is using a WEB based terminal emulator for its employees; here is a sample URL:http://10.20.30.40/user_custom/web6530/web6530.html?host=ZN113&service=K837062&title=EBST469K837062The URL is the same for all users, with the exception of three parameters (host, service, title); these are user unique. The URL is saved as a favorite on each PC, but the users occasionally trash it; which generates unnecessary help desk calls. I'm writing a WEB page that will prompt the user for their employee number, it will return a GridView (select enabled) with Employee number, Terminal Name, and URL (multiple rows possible); we have a SQL table that contains that info. The user clicks select and a TEXTBOX is populated with the URL, it is displayed along with a label telling the user that they can copy/paste the text into a browser or hit the connect button (button hasn't been added yet).
The URL in the DB file looks much like my sample, above, and is displayed correctly in the gridview. However, when that text is copied into another string variable or directly into the TEXTBOX the word 'amp;' shows after each ampersand (see below). Any ideas on how I can remove that because if the user pastes this string into their browser, it does not work.http://10.20.30.40/user_custom/web6530/web6530.html?host=ZN113&service=K837062&title=EBST469K837062

View 1 RepliesI'd like the user to specify a RSS feed address and serialize the information from it. I am not interested in the XML format, but populate a strongly typed object from the XML. My question is, is there a standard that all RSS feeds support (Do all of them have date, title etc)? If so, is there a XSD that describes this.If not, how do I handle serializing a RSS feed to an object in ASP.NET?
EDIT:
The SyndicationFeed's Items have the following properties:
Title.Text -> Gives us the title
Summary.Text -> Gives the Summary
Q1 - The Summary includes the html tags. Is there a way to strip them? I am interested only in the text
Q2 - Do all RSS feeds have full content in the Summary element? I see that some RSS feeds have only a few lines for Summary while others have the entire content of the post.
