C# - Encoding While Parsing XML File
Dec 11, 2010
I'm developing a small ASP.NET Mvc project in Mono 2.4, Ubuntu 10.10. There is an array of objects, each one of them corresponds to a certain xml file. Reading of the xmls is performed with XmlTextReader. That does not work because xml files have rare "cp866nav" encoding, which is not supported by XmlTextReader ("System.ArgumentException: Encoding name 'cp866nav' not supported"). But it works fine if encoding in xml header is changed to "cp866". I found a kind of solution which consists in initializing XmlTextReader with a StreamReader with a certain encoding instead of file name, like in the code below:
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StreamReader(Server.MapPath(filename), Encoding.GetEncoding("cp866")));
The issue is that the directory which contains xml files is read only (I can not change it), so I get "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '' is denied.". Rather strange, because XmlTextReader initialized with a filename seems to read the files. Is there any solution, considering that program cannot modify or create files?

I have a xml file having the tags like
<link>
<linkto>[URL]/broadcasts/index.cfm?fuseaction=usrbrd&broadcasterid=57468</linkto>
<image>report_button</image>
<alt>Report a Problem</alt>
<target></target>
</link>
<linkto> tag have the url. But because of the "&" symbol in the url thats completely crashing the page. I tried using like amp; next to the & symbol but this doesn't give the correct url.

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 am reading XML file in the following code
[Code]....
when my xml file is big, I get the following error unexpected end of file while parsing name has occurred. Line 1, position 2034 the xmlData debug showed that not all the xml file is being read
[Code]....
I read that the memory of the string variable is not big enough to handle the xml file, what can I use to be able to read big xml files. my program works for small xml text.

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?

using vb.net/asp.net 2005
I am opening and reading and I need to detect the encoding of the file that I am reading. There are different system users who will be using different encoding in their files so I have no control over this.
[Code]....
While the default encoding normally works there are special foreign language (non-English) characters that are not being read correctly, instead there are garbage characters in their place that I see "myString" above. Good foreign characters are visible in the file but the result in myString are unreadable garbage characters that are not valid.
I have researched this and it has been suggested to determine the encoding of the file and then use that encoding, but I have not been able to find out how to to do this.
so in a nutshell: how can I use vb.net to detect the encoding of an excel file?

Type","Phone","Type","DOB "," 7:30
[snip]
The only things I need from this are:
Patients Name
Drs Name
Patients Phone Number
Appt Time
Appt Date
and the rest of the information I can discard. A customer uploads this as a .csv file (even though it really isn't as you can see) and I'd like to parse the needed information and post that to my SQL database and discard the rest. I think I can do this with a dataset but I've never built that before. The fields from the customer will always be the same and the fields I will need will always be the same. Also, the date time has to be in the format of yyyy/mm/dd:hhmm and the phone number always has to have 512 as a prefix. Here is the code I currently have for my site:

I have a ViewModel class: "MainPage" which contains 2 properties: Title, Id.I have a controller which prepares a list of MainPage and sends it to the view:
public ActionResult SideMenu()
{
MainPageDal dal = new MainPageDal();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt = dal.GetArticlesList();
List<MainPage> mainPageList = new List<MainPage>();
MainPage mainPage;
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
mainPage = new MainPage(Convert.ToInt16(row["Id"]), row["Title"].ToString());
mainPageList.Add(mainPage);
}
return View(mainPageList);
}
In my view I do:
<% foreach (var mainPage in Model) { %>
Now I added "List<String> myList=new..." into my MainPage class and tried to do foreach like this:
Why I can't do: <% foreach (var str in Model.myList) { %>
myList is a list of string inside MainPage.The error I get is:
c:devMvcTestMvcTestViewsHomeSideMenu.aspx(12): error CS1061: 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MvcTest.ViewModels.MainPage>' does not contain a definition for 'myList' and no extension method 'myList' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MvcTest.ViewModels.MainPage>'

XML Parsing Error: no element found

I'm breaking my head over this for a while now and I have no clue what I do wrong. The scenario is as followed, I'm using swfupload to upload files with a progressbar via a webservice. the webservice needs to return the name of the generated thumbnail. This all goes well and though i prefer to get the returned data in json (might change it later in the swfupload js files) the default xml data is fine too.
So when an upload completes the webservice returns the following xml as expected (note I removed the namespace in webservice):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string>myfile.jpg</string>
Now I want to parse this result with jquery and thought the following would do it:
var xml = response;
alert($(xml).find("string").text());
But I cannot get the string value. I've tried lots of combinations (.html(), .innerhtml(), response.find("string").text() but nothing seems to work. This is my first time trying to parse xml via jquery so maybe I'm doing something fundemantally wrong. The 'response' is populated with the xml.

Also how do I make sure that the user is not passing a script or anything harmful in the query string?

I have a WCF Web Service that my ASP.NET app uses. It has been working fine for quite some time. I just added in a Dev Express Grid (and the Dev Express DLLs) and a new page that uses them and now I am getting parsing errors on the WSDL. But the weird part is that it works fine on my machine but fails on the web server machine. (Both are connecting to the same web services WSDL.) Here is the error message I am getting:
Server Error in '/MyWebAppWebDev' Application.
Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Reference.svcmap: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'MyWebAppService'.

I am completely stumped on this. I have checked my web.config endpoint address and it is spot on (and notably is not in the error message above).
Things I have tried:
Giving permissions to C:Windows emp to my Website user name
Giving permissions to C:Windows emp to my App pool user name
Checking to see that none of my data contracts are generic and have IsReference=true in them.

I wanted to write a regular expression using the ASP.Net RegExp validator that would ensure a field contains only numeric and decimal values, and at least one character.
^[0-9]{1,40}(.[0-9]{1,2})?$
Essentially: [0-9]{1,40} - meaning at least one to 40 numeric characters.The ASP.Net regexp validator does not fire for an empty field - where there is not at least one character.
