.NET Is Unable To Decode String When Java Can "Hi%E1" ?
Feb 18, 2010
My problem is with .Net Http/Uri libraries not being able to decode or unescape this character sequence: "Hi%E1". Neither Uri.UnescapeDataString nor HttpUtility.UrlDecode can do it.
Although I have a solution to get around this problem ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1221849/url-decoding-confusion ) I would like to understand why it is failing.
The 1st test here throws an exception! The second just fails.
There is nothing in the docs to indicate that UnescapeDataString or UrlDecode are restricted to character sets or any reason why these tests would fail. However, from testing, it would appear that HttpUtility assumes UTF-8 (or some other) encoding.
The Java equivalent works! Probably because it allows an encoding to be set.
URLDecoder.decode("Hi%E1","windows-1252"); // this works btw, ie passes tests
Which looks like a very sensible move considering the .Net work-around (see URL above)
Are the .Net implementations of these methods just crap and .Net devs just have to write their own - or am I missing something?
BTW Everything I know of in IIS set to UTF-8, and Chinese/Japanese characters show fine, so I don't yet know how it could it be that this URI consists of windows-1252 encoded characters. If I could fix the URI to contain UTF-8 encoding, that would be a better way of fixing this.
I am working on a Japanese File and I have no knowledge of the language. The file is encoded in S-JIS. Now, I am supposed to convert the contents into UTF-8 so that the content looks like Japanese. And here I am completely blank. I tried the following code that I found somewhere on Internet but no luck:
I am using the following code to decode base 64 and quoted printable encoded messages. It works well for all the charset's except for quoted printable chinese (Charsets: GB18030, GB2312). When I tried to decode, I am getting '?' as output. provide on this code or any other code that decodes all types of encoded string?
I have the following requirement I need to fulfill using Asp.net and Java Script. Here is the requirement. I have two web forms. Web form A and Web form B. The second web form "B" will act as a popup web form. For web form "A" When web form "B" is closed, I need to pass back a text value to web form "A" Does anyone know how to do this in Java Script?, and Asp.net?
I'm looking for a way to access a Java API from both a Java console application and an ASP.Net application.In short my Java API exposes a series of methods for dealing with invoices. All of these methods are essentially commands e.g.
All methods will interact with the database. I had believed Web Services was going to be my means for interop. But I have since been made aware of Java Stored Procedures in Oracle.
I got asked to write a java application for my company. I'm a seasoned .Net developer so this is all new ground to me.My task is to produce an invoicing application that has several high level tasks such as:Build single invoiceBuild all invoicesMy company want to be able to call these tasks from a java console application - passing in relevant commands and parameters to invoke the tasks. They also want to be able to invoke the same code from an ASP.NET application.

I want to read .dat file using Asp.Net C#. I have some details in my .dat file and I want to decode it and need to display on my web page. I already tried to decode it but it was not working properly. Its showing boxes in my web page.
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.
What is the best way to encode the url in Hyperlink without writing code behind. I have many uses and I would like to do it in the Hyperlink statemeent if possible. Some thing such as the following would be great: (This does not work)
I 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.
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 saved all data that comes through Input boxes using AntiXss.HtmlEncode(the text from in put box); Now all texts in my databse are HtmlEncoded So now i want to show them in text boxesSo iave to decode that ? How can i decode a text that is encoded using AntiXss
I have a Windows Service I have developed in Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
It accesses a database using a connection string in machine.config.
On my Windows XP Pro 32bit (SP3) machine, it works correctly.
On my new Windows 7 Pro 64bit machine, it throws "object not set to an instance of an object" when it gets to the line where it's trying use the connection string.
This is the 'object' which is not set in Windows 7:
The machine.config has the same connection string set up on both machines.
A .Net 2 website transferred to the Windows 7 machine has no problem accessing the same connection string.
I have tried a bunch of different permissions on the machine.config and its containing folders, and setting the service to log in as Admin, but I don't know exactly what permissions are required.
I am using Calendar to display Date in Textbox. my Problem is that it works Ok in localhost but when I had uploaded the same, error come "Unable to convert String to datetime".
