C# - How To Convert Data Downloaded From A Website Into The Correct Encoding
Jan 18, 2011
I've been having issues with data downloaded using a .net WebClient control, in that I seem to have little control over the encoding of the data that I get back from a web server.
The specifics of the question are in the post linked below, but I want to ask the question in a more general sense as the answer is not really helping (not the answerer's fault!).
ASP.NET / C# WebClient.DownloadString() returns string with perculiar characters
The real problem is that supposedly there is no way to detect the encoding of a response from a web server, and the webserver may not respond using the encoding specified in the headers.
If this is true, how do web browsers such as IE, Firefox and Chrome work out how to decode the stream when you use the view source functionality?

I am starting work on an already fully developed site. This site has no input encoding or output encoding. If some one ebters <input type="text"> in an insert form it is displayed as a real tex box when viewing that form details.
So how can i apply encoding at input or output to the WHOLE SITE?
turning on validate request is not an option as the cms wud need it off.
also this is .net 3.5 so no question od using <%: tags.

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?

I have my class RoomType:
Int32 Id
String Name
String ColorCode
My viewmodel gets a List<Roomtype> RoomTypes which should be displayed in a dropdown.
Each dropdown option item should have: 1) as title the Name, 2) as value the Id, and 3) the style background-color #ColorCode.
My problems are how to convert this list correctly into a List<SelectListItem> as required by ASP.NET MVC's DropDownFor helper, and then to have the correct values inserted for each option.
I've tried to have a new readonly property in my viewmodel, which has a getter RoomtypeSelectList which returns new SelectList(RoomTypeList) but I can't get the correct properties to show (Name, Id, Background color).

I have created a asp.net website, that we are going to deploy at India. All client of this website would be from SWEDEN.
This site have option (last login date time) at user's dashboard after successfull login.
Now my problem is that if application is deploy at India and user loggedin from SWEDEN then user is able to show only server date time which is of India.
My Steps are as following
1. User logged into site first time at 10 AM(server time), surfing starts...
2. Logged out at 10:30 (server time)
3. Application store server datetime in database.
4. Next time user come, application will store same date and time from database as last loggin datetime.
How can i store SWEDEN date time in database when user logged out from site, it will in future grow to other country also.

We recently migrated from VS 2008 to VS 2010. The migration went fine, except for our web project. Before, in VS 2008, the site showed up as http://localhost/Website. Now, it appears as C:...Website. It appears that when we did the migration, VS started to treat it as a file system website.
I've tried removing the existing site and re-adding it as an existing website, but it still displays it as C:...Website. Is there any way to convert it back to show it as a http://localhost/website, and run through IIS, as opposed to the default ASP.NET Development Server?

I've just spent the last few days writing a website using Visual Studio 2010, in ASP.NET. I've just gone to publish it to my website, and found ASP.NET is not supported! Apparently ASP is supported though - is the solution to convert from ASP.NET to ASP? Is this possible? Is there a better alternative?I'm not the best programmer in the world (hence my mistake)

I have a web application project that I have been working on for a long time now (about 7-8 months of work). I have been recently asked to convert it to web site project as boss wants the pages to be able to be updated independently instead of re-submitting the DLLs in BIN folder every time.
Is there a conventional step-by-step procedure to follow in order to do such conversion? Or create a web site project, copy all files, and hope that you will get less than 1000 errors?
