Webmailer Encoding Characters / Set The Content Encoding Of The Whole Page?
Jan 4, 2010
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'm passing "Malmö" as a Request.QueryString parameter to a page. However, the code sees it as "Malm�" meaning that string comparison fails. All globalization settings are set to UTF-8 in web.config. Am I missing something?
Edit: The querystring looks like this http://localhost/PageName/?courseKommun=Malm%F6
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 / C# page which takes a comment, and then emails that comment. Sometimes when the user enters "&" in the comment, the comment is being truncated. So for example if the comment is "test & test" the email only sends out "test ".
I have tried HttpUtility.HtmlEncode - but it looks like the issue is on the outlook side and not on the C# side.
Has anyone else encountered a problem with Framework 4 automatically html encoding multilingual characters?I am uploading a spreadsheet with both English and Spanish characters. When I preview it on the page everything looks great however as soon as I attempt to pass it to the stored procedure the non-roman characters are being automatically converted to, what looks like, html encoding.This code worked flawlessly in 3.5 and has not been touched. The only change is that I switched to framework 4 however I haven't seen anything indicating that this would be a problem for me.
i have a ASP.NET 4.0 based CMS, where i use the TinyMCE (3.4) via jQuery to edit one Textbox.In addition to this i have several other textboxes. There is also another DropDown List on the Page, which controls the Contenttype.This Control has AutoPostback enabled and sets the visibility on the textboxes regarding the selectes item.As i want to keep the Postback Validation on i have configured the TinyXML to use xml for the content serialisation (encoding: "xml").Now i have the problem, when a postback from e.g. the DropDown List occures, the re-encodes the content.
i have enabled the original textarea via css and this seems to be a problem of the TinyMCS's Save method. Does anybody have a solution, how to fix this issue maybe with a custom save_callback on the TinyMCE?
I'm running ASP.NET on an IIS6 server. Right now the server is set up to compress dynamically generated content, mainly to reduce the page size of ASPX files that are being retrieved.
Once of the ASPX files has the following bit of code, used to fetch a file from the database and send it to the user:
The download itself works perfectly. However, the person downloading the file doesn't get a progress bar, which is incredibly annoying.
From what research I've been doing, it seems that when IIS sets the transfer-encoding to chunked when compressing dynamic content, which removes the content-length header as it violates the HTTP1.1 standard when doing that.
What's the best way to get around this without turning dynamic compression off at the server level? Is there a way through ASP.NET to programatically turn off compression for this response? Is there a better way to go about doing things?
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 using .NET Page Routing (not MVC) to get pretty URLs (or at least removing the file extensions) on my site.On my search page, when a user searches for "stuff" it redirects then to /search/stuff for the results. However when I put in something like "stuff yes:" it gives me a HTTP 400 Bad Request Error.
I tried using javascript to encode the search value before being submitted, and confirmed that "stuff yes:" was converted to "staff%20yes%3A", yet when it performs the routing redirect, in the URL it shows "staff%20yes:" and causes the bad request. Why is it not saving the encoding for the typically illegal characters and how can I make it so?
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 need to encode querystring from the aspx itself, like we do <%Eval()%>.Below is my html
<asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="Your Header" DataNavigateUrlFields="userId" DataTextField="Your Data Field to Display" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" 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.
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
.Net 4.0 is encoding values when using Attributes.Add. In previous versions it didn't. With the new behaviour it is no longer possible to write attributes containing single quotes.Here's an example.
I have an ASP.NET repeater pulling comment data from a database. In my ItemTemplate I placed some Label server controls bound to the fields (username of poster, date, and post text), but apparently Label does not run the data through HtmlEncode before displaying it. Is there another control I should use? How should I display HTML-encoded data from a repeater?
I've recently upgraded a client's web site to .NET 4 and we've found out during the process that now GridView column values are automatically HTML encoded.
They have wide use of HTML strings in their code so we must turn that off. I know one solution would go over each column and add HtmlEncode="false". My question is - is there a way to set this to be the default for all GridView columns in this application?
What is happening is I'm trying to process international characters, but the code is falling through (giving up?) and replacing the field with a blank (well, I guess the screenshot is at the bottom)... The customer recently asked for support for Polish characters, and gave us a list of which ones he wants added.
This is the entire function:
Code: Protected Function chkExtchars(ByVal name As String) As String Dim j As Integer = 0 Dim dt As New DataTable Dim c() As Char = Nothing Dim n As Integer Dim nc As Char Dim newname As String = "" dt = HttpContext.Current.Session("xChars")
[Code] ....
But maybe it needs to be sequential? (the numbers on the far left?)
