Escape An Ampersand In A Path String?
Nov 8, 2010
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 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.

I am trying to insert dynamic data into a onclick property for a control the code looks like this
onclick="openRadWindow('<%#Eval("ID";) %>','<%#Eval("ParentObjectID") %>');"
I cant get it to fire and the trouble seems to be the double quotes, what is the correct method on escaping the quotes so that this fires.

I had applied the following code as said by you :
byte[] b = YourByteArrayFromDb;
File.WriteAllBytes(MyFilePath, b);
But I am receiving an exception "Access to the path is denied". How do I solve this using ASP.Net with C#? And is there any format to set the path as string?

I have a form where users can store some data for archived documents. All documents are ONLY in PDF format.
There are 2 things I would like to do:
1. there is a "file path" text box on the form. I would like to open a "browse file dialog" box when user clicks the textbox and then the user browses for the file (file is on the users local machine) and selects it. The full file path should be saved to the textbox as string (e.g. "c:archive2010document11122011.pdf"). Also I would like to "limit" the file browser dialog to only show PDF format files...
2. add a code behind command to open the file from the saved path+name (see 1.) in the user's default PDF viewer (Acrobat or Foxit)

I'm dynamically generating a tree view on the folder structure on client machine:
C:

etc...
When the user expands and select - say folder 12, I want to get the path as D:/Folder1/Folder12 in to a string
then when the user changes the selection to D:/Folder1 i want to get that path in the string.

i 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 € Ł 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);

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'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.

I am trying to write a page to read the Excel file provided by the user. I know I can't use the FileUpload to get the full path of the file from the client PC. This give me the problem when I write the connection string for the Excel file:
[Code]....
Without the full path, I can't replace the Data Source by a variable and I definitely can't assume all users will have their Excel files named Book1.xls located in C:Doc all the time.

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.
