I have this string test = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("http://test.com/Folder1/Folder2/my%20view.aspx");When I look into test it still has %20 instead of a space. Why is it not decoding this?
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.
is there any way to add HttpUtility.HtmlDecode = true in webconfig.i have 1000's of textboxes. i cannot add this all of them.
View 2 RepliesUri 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?
.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)?
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 RepliesI recently started learning about HttpModules and made my first one. I was wondering if someone could explain why some modules in the the web.config include a lot of extra info and others do not.
example: not much info
<add name="ErrorLog" type="Elmah.ErrorLogModule, Elmah"/>
example a lot of info
<add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
What is a publickeytoken, version, culture. Do I need to do anything special to use those?
Trying 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.
I have to send a file to my webservice, but the webservice assumes the file (byte Array) as a base64Binary.
Before the encoding, the byteArrayFile is saved on disk as a regular File. (I'm doing it just for testing)
So, in my Java client for webservice, I'm sending the information this way:
String file = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(byteArrayFile);
port.sendFileToWebService(file);
The webservice have to decode the information and save the received file on disk.

I have an AJAX service where I'm pulling HTML content. I want to Response.Write() it to the browser as a string. I can't figure out how to do it so it remains a string like this rather than formatting the HTML:
<div id="global_nav">
<ul>
<li class="left"><a class="sub practice" href="/practice-time"><span>Practice Time</span>.
I've tried using HTTPUtility.HTMLDecode(string), but that doesn't appear to do anything.

I have vendors who are passing customers to us via an encoded URL. The problem is that Request.QueryString["FieldName"] is returning NULL on some of them and I can't fiqure out why?
For Example, one vendor is sending : http://.....ViewListing.aspx%3FListingID%3D1187721%26Source%3D6"] which returns a NULL value when Request.QueryString["ListingID"] is used.
Using Server.UrlDecode(Request.RawUrl.ToString()), however, will decode itpProperly as /ViewListing.aspx?ListingID=1187721&Source=6
How do I get the Request object to properly retrieve the values?
I 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.
I would like to make sure that everything that goes into my database is safe, i.e. protection from sql injection.
What I want to do is type something in a textbox, "<b>hello</b>" for example, it be encoded before it's put in the database, but when I retrieve it, I want it to display "hello" in bold.
I've tried the obvious of server.encode on input and server.decode on the output (to a label and a literal control), but couldn't get it to display the text in bold without having unencoded text in the database.
I need to encode querystring from the aspx itself, like we do <%Eval()%>.Below is my html

DataNavigateUrlFormatString="mypage.aspx?type=2&userId={0}"
ItemStyle-Width="35%"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left"
/>
Here i want to encrypt or simply encode the parameters type and userid so that it will look like encrypted.
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 am trying to set up a POST from one aspx file to another progromatically. Inside the POST is a String of XML data which i have properly added to Server.HtmlEncode(). For some reason, when I grab it in my logs on the other page, it is showing with 3 question marks. I at first thought it was logging text i left somewhere, but have narrowed it down to a Encoding error of some sort because when i change the encoding it changes the character, and when I just put some text in there, i see it on the other side fine. i have tried UTF 8,UTF32,Unicode,ASCII... Can't seem to find the right combination. Can't find the UTF-16

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]
