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
According to old AntiXss article on MSDN AntiXss.UrlEncode is used to encode link href (Untrusted-input in the following example):[URL]My understanding was, that UrlEncode should be used only when setting something to URL, like when setting document.location with JS. So why don't I use HtmlAttributeEncode in the previous example to encode [Untrusted-input]? On the other hand is there a security flaw if I use UrlEncode to encode HTML attributes like in the above sample?

I used a ViewModel class as described below:
public class ProductCreateModel
{
[DisplayName("Id product:")]
[code]...
I used the following code to "Encode" my select parameters prior to sending data to a sever :
[Code]....
And I know that I should use this for other server actions Updates, deletes.
How do I Decode the values that I sent to server ?
And what about other controls on my page like text boxes, labels, should they encoded as a matter of standard practice ?
I do not remember how to decode the information: "Q68uEbl9ZxfNoAiWtGguRQ =="
[Code]....
TextBox8.Text = cipherText; // Encrypt
TextBox9.Text = Decrypt; // Decrypt - NOT WORKS!
When you can simply encode the data using HttpUtility.HtmlEncode, why should we use AntiXss.HtmlEncode? Why is white list approach better than black listing?Also, in the Anti XSS library, where do I specify the whitelist?
View 3 RepliesI want to include Microsoft AntiXss V1.5 library on my live site running in a medium trust setting.However, I got an error something like:Required permissions cannot be acquired.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Security.Policy.PolicyException: Required permissions cannot be acquired.I tried this in full trust setting on my development machine and everything works good.Looks like this will run only in full trust configuration.
I cannot seem to get over this problem. Im sure it is just a simple newbie question but I just cannot find the right answer on my own.
Im using MVC 2 and ASP. NET 4.0 to biuld simple CMS. Im storing encoded HTML in XML file which then i am passing to front page controller for display.
I understand that before inserting HTML from XML into the page, it should be decoded using HttpUtility.Decode() function.
[Code]....
I expected that this sould result in inserting decoded HTML into my index.aspx page. Then browser could render my decoded content for example in bold face.
What happens is quite awkward. In page source I have encoded HTML but it renders HTML with tags. For example I see "<strong> Lorem ipsum </stong>", instead of Lorem Ipsum.
Another beginner question, I'm afraid... I was wondering if someone could tell me the easiest and most efficient way of getting the fully qualified domain name (e.g. www.google.com) from a UrlEncoded string in ASP.Net (C#).For example: http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dsome%20things%20i%20searched%20forWould give me: www.google.com(Or basically anything where I can check the domain to make sure it's correct.)I'm guessing the first step might be to UrlDecode, but since this is how I'm getting the string, I thought I'd mention it incase it's easier Encoded.
View 2 RepliesI 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:
byte[] arrByte = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(arrActualData[x]);
string str = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(arrByte);

I'm having a problem using a xml file as datasource for my gridview.
I create this xml file myself using XMLTextWriter class, the file is created parsing an existing excel file so I don't have control over the data retrieved from the excel file. Using XMLTextWriter does encode the special characters correctly, for example: <Enter> instead of <Enter>. The problem is when I try to open this created xml for editing, I use a GridView and bind all the data but special character data is not show in the row.
Excel Data: Enter “E” or “e” and press <Enter>
XML Data: Enter “E” or “e” and press <Enter>
Data in GridView: Enter “E” or “e” and press
Is there a way to force the the GridView to decode the xml attributes correctly?

View 2 RepliesI am using a third party Web Service. I am passing a string to a function in that service, that string, which i am reading from a UTF-8 text file. The problem it that the string contain some non ASCII characters.

I have Russian blog built with BlogEngine.NET 1.5.
I use Russian words in links encoded with URLEncode, so links are human-readable in most browsers - FF, Chrome, Opera (except for IE, but this is not the real problem with this browser). This idea is not mine, I borrowed it from Wikipedia - it uses encoded URLs on localized sites.
The real problem is that when I am trying to add comment in IE8 it fails (and only on production machine, development environment works fine).
Using Fiddler I found out that IE tries to send AJAX callback using WebForm_DoCallback to wrong address - it seems that it decodes URL, gets wrong characters and asks page with that wrong address from server and (of course) receives 404.
Here is how incorrect request from IE looks in Fiddler:
POST /ru/post/�������������-�����.aspx HTTP/1.1
Here is how FF makes same request and gets correct response:
POST /ru/post/%D0%92%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE.aspx HTTP/1.1
I upgraded solution from default ASP.NET 2.0 for BE to ASP.NET 3.5 but this changed nothing. I made some minor changes in BE to allow properly encoded UTF links - by default it wipes out percent symbol from links.
what wrong is with IE behavior here and how to fix it? Why development environment under ASP.NET Development works different from production machine under IIS6? Why IE does not decode link in address bar (like other browsers) but does it when making request?
When you render one of the "built in" html helpers (say "TextBoxFor") with ":" (so it's encoded) it renders fine.However if I render the following (a custom file input helper) with ":", the markup are displayed.I understand why. Just don't know how to prevent this (no, I want to stay with ":" and not use "=")(I looked at the source code for the built in ones, but can't see what I'm missing: ttp://aspnet.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/23011#288010 )

I'm using ASP.NET with sql-server. I have an area where the user can enter text of a maximum amount. I encode this text as a good measure but the encoded length can be greater than this maximum amount when I try to insert it into the database.
Special characters are encoded on 3 characters. I can't show the user that he has exceeded the max amount of characters because from his perspective he hasn't. I also can't set the database field to the worst case scenario (being 3 times my max amount).
I am creating a web site in .Net 3.5 , I am converting the string into Base64String to send it through querystring.The Response.Redirect works fine for smaller string. But if the original string size is 1670,the response.redirect results in error "Page can not be found".item is the string in below code snippet.
byte[] data = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(item);
return Convert.ToBase64String(data)
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'd like to decode a URL string
