I'm storing some html-encoded data in a sql server database and I've written a script to output the data in a csv format minus the html tags and I'm getting a weird issue when html-decoding the remaining data. For example the data contains a quote character (which is html-encoded as ’), but when I try to html-decode it the data comes out as a series of weird characters (’). Does anyone know how to solve this issue? The output encoding of the page is UTF-8 if that helps.
I'm having problems with a bit of code, where i'm trying and failing to read the EXIF data from jpg files. I cannot figure the error, although everything I've been able to find online points toward the same thing: my code is correct. The code is as follows.
[Code]....
The only error i get is a javascript error in IE8, stating Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed.". I have absolutely no idea what it's doing, why it's going wrong or how it's failing.
I have a problem in my asp.net 3.5 application (C#) when I try to render in my pages characters like 'è' which are shown in a very strange manner (if i'm lucky i get a ? mark in my web page). in fact Expression Web, when i open my web site, substitutes the è char with �...How can I tell asp.net that I want to use a particular charset so that i can write in the html source letters like è without using hexadecimal codes??????I tried in the web.config this:inside the system.web namespace of the file but nothing works...
I am doing some url redirections in a project that I am currently working on. I am new to web development and was wondering what the best practise was to remove any illegal path characters, such as ' ? etc.I'm hoping I don't have to resort to manually replacing each character with their encoded urls.I have tried UrlEncode and HTMLEncode, but UrlEncode doesn't cater for the ? and HTMLEncode doesn't cater for 'E.G. If I was to use the following:
Dim name As String = "Dave's gone, why?" Dim url As String = String.Format("~/books/{0}/{1}/default.aspx", bookID, name) Response.Redirect(url)
I've tried wrapping url like this:Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.UrlEncode(url)AndDim encodedUrl As String = Server.HTMLEncode(url)
For some reason the encoding on my website has gone wrong. Turkish characters that were working before are now coming out in '?'. I have not touched anything. Our regular developer is away so I'm not sure if he touched anything. The text has been working on this page till recently and on the previous years page. That has now been affected to. I have set the following statement in the <head> section:
< meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> Unicode UTF-8 has worked in the past.
When I view the encoding in Internet Explorer 8 tools menu it is saying 'Western European(ISO)'. In my test environment, encoding is showing up as Unicode UTF-8 and hence the code is correct. So my question is, why is the encoding change to Western European (ISO) and how can I change?
I have a URL which is in a ASP.NET repeater control:[URL]This gets encoded to & when it gets rendered to the browser.We have tried decoding it using server side tags in the repeater, that did not work.How can i stop this from happening?[URL]
I have a string that came from an old database of unknown character encoding. I am having trouble encoding/filtering the string to show the correct text.What the data looks like in the database: Marronnière à quatre pansWhat we need the string to show up as: Marronnière à quatre pansSpecifically, I am having trouble parsing the string so I can display the character à (à)This is an asp.Net 2.0 site written in VB using a Sql Server 2005 Database. Not sure if it matters, but data comes from a column with this collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASI've tried encoding the string to various encodings in the code to no avail. I've also passed the string (encoded different ways) into a byte array to find a unique byte pattern for the bad characters without success.
I have an ASP.NET web application and at a certain point I do this:mycontrol.stringparameterforjscript = "document.getElementById('" + myotherparam + "').value = 'Hello'";The problem is that this thing does not work.s you can see this sets a javascript in some event of some tag. Well when the page is redered the problem is that my parameter look like this:
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?
Edit I'd misunderstood what was happening here.. there is a POST send, then receive back a result, then the URL string which I'm seeing here is part of the the query string... so I can't decode what this really is, as it is encoded by the payment gateway people and not me.
I have a Response filter setup to transform the html before spitting back out to the browser [URL]. This works fine on everyones machine but mine. Actually it was working on my machine until I had to do a hard reset because it locked up.
public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count) { string strBuffer = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, offset, count);
For everyone else (and mine previosly) strBuffer contains HTML. Now for whatever reason it's returning junk characters for me.
Update
Turns out that "Enable dynamic content compression" is causing the issue. For some reason it's getting gzipped before being passed into the filter.
Solution
Setting the "dynamicCompressionBeforeCache" to false in the web.config fixed the issue. <urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="false" />
My issue is that , need to change the column name(following format "Remove first character and after 3rd character insert colon") of the gridview (which is binded with XMLTextReader). Without changing directly XML file, Required to change the column name dynamically at runtime .
I looked up the msdn documentation and it says that InvalidUserName is thrown when it does not find the username in the database, which is fine because the user I am creating should not exist in the database. If I use test@example.com, it works, but if I try it with test.@example.com, the status from Membership.CreateUser is InvalidUserName.
I have a legacy MySQL database which stores the user passwords & salts for a membership system. Both of these values have been hashed using the Ruby framework - roughly like this:
So both values are stored as 40-character strings (varchar(40)) in MySQL. Now I need to import all of these users into the ASP.NET membership framework for a new web site, which uses a SQL Server database. It is my understanding that the the way I have ASP.NET membership configured, the user passwords and salts are also stored in the membership database (in table aspnet_Membership) as SHA1 hashes, which are then Base64 encoded (see here for details) and stored as nvarchar(128) data.
But from the length of the Base64 encoded strings that are stored (28 characters) it seems that the SHA1 hashes that ASP.NET membership generates are only 20 characters long, rather than 40. From some other reading I have been doing I am thinking this has to do with the number of bits per character/character set/encoding or something related.
So is there some way to convert the 40-character SHA1 hashes to 20-character hashes which I can then transfer to the new ASP.NET membership data table? I'm pretty familiar with ASP.NET membership by now but I feel like I'm just missing this one piece. However, it may also be known that SHA1 in Ruby and SHA1 in .NET are incompatible, so I'm fighting a losing battle.
I want to read a line character by character, in the sense I want to read each and every character on the line. can I can make that line as a string. breaking string into substrings ? if possiblw how.? I m unable to start. can anyone give the code.
I am using AJAX Toolkit's Calendar extender control.
When the control is rendered on page, the day names are 2 character long and shown as "Su", "Mo", "Tu", "We", "Th", "Fr" and "Sa".
Instead, I want it to be rendered as 3 character long format as "Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri" and "Sat". note that I further need to localize this application too. So, I probably need some setting that could do the magic instead of overwriting on some server side event to achieve it.
There is probably some settings that I am not aware of.
The code for localizing the Calendar extender is as follows (in case if you need to test).
I have a url that I would like to put into my web.config file. http://google.com?parcel&bob&&smithI imagine that the .net run time is upset with the ampersand's so i encoded them to be&.http://google.com?rcel&bob&&smithThis also doesn't work. Any ideas would be great, if you could supply a link to the documentation of why this is that would be even better.
I am using ASP.NET 4 c# 2010.Well my website has some problem with character encoding.It seems that when I generate my output it is htmlencoded. So a ' is encoded with #number;... this is not always a good thing because when I need to dynamically insert jscript in my controls, every ' or " are encoded and js doesn't work properly...
How to correctly tell ASP.NET not to encode? or better telling him that he must correctly manage ' " and other chars like these withput rendering them htmlencoded?
An example of string being output: this.MyControl.Attributes["onfocus"] = "execJs('param')"
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?
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 an ASP.Net app that allows a user to write text into a Telerik RadEditor control and then send an email.
For some reason I'm sometimes getting strange characters showing up in the email that is generated.
For example if I put the word Test's into the RadEditor box and send it... the email shows up with the text changed to: Test’s.
It seems as though the ' character was used in place of ' because if I use the later, the text would show up just fine. If I pull up the saved record within the ASP.Net apps interface it looks just fine. It also appears just fine when I view the text within the recorded of the MS SQL table it was stored in.
I'm using MailMessage to create the email. I've check the string being sent at the point just before I use SmtpClient to send the message and it looks just fine at his point. Once the email message shows up however I get the strange text (Test’s).
I'm guessing that I have an encode/decoding issue but I'm not sure how I would go about fixing this.

I have tried to add it to the constructor of my email class with/without mybase but that had no effect.
Public Sub New(ByVal EmailDate As DateTime, ByVal LogoPath As String) MyBase.New() MyBase.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1") 'BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1") Me.EmailDate = EmailDate Me.LogoPath = LogoPath End Sub
I also tried adding it to the code behind of the form that calls the email class just before I create a new SmtpClient but that did not seem to be correct either.
Try returnEmail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1") Dim smtpCli As New SmtpClient smtpCli.Send(returnEmail) Catch ex As Exception ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.GetType, "smtpError", "alert('There was an error sending the email: * " & ex.Message & "');", True) End Try
