The resulting effect is that the characters are garbled.I've been looking around and there doesn't seem to be any solution.
View 1 RepliesI have a call to Server.URLEncode(string) from an old asp file that stores user input into a table. In this case it was a string of Chinese charters.
The actual data is :
%E8%B0%B7%E6%AD%8C%E7%9A%84%E5%89%8D%E6%99%AF%E9%BA%A6%E5%85%8B%E6%96%AF%E9%9F%A6
I rewrote the code to vb.Net and after I get the data from the table, I call
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlDecode(string) to decode the string, add it existing mark up for an email and send it on its way.
Note that with Visual Studio i can see the HTML markup as it appears in the email, and ALL of the Chinese data is EXACTLY as I would expect it.
When the emial is received i get "???????????" characters where there should be the Chinese characters.
What I do not understand:
What Server.URLEncode actually encodes the data to. It appears to be HEX.
What the array of "?" means in outlook or any other email system that opens it, I assume it means "Hey i cant convert this stuff, so here is a question mark for kicks, good luck."
I am trying to download chinese data from database to excel. But data is coming with different charecters in Excel like this Here is the my code for download excel. I don't understand what's wrong in my code.

I am trying to copy the web source code from the webbrowser tool that contain chinese characters into a textbox. But they show up as a diamond shape with a question mark inside it. Chinese character show up fine in my textbox if i do copy and paste. But from the web source code, they all show up weird.

View 8 RepliesI'm having trouble using the webclient to download a file. This same code works in another app that I'm using, but when downloading the second file, I get an exception saying that there are illegal characters in the path.The second item that it is having troubledownloading's filename is "Filename.exe.manifest". The RemoteUri is the download link, item is the name of the file. When I print out the path that it is downloading from and the path that it is downloading to, both are correct. I can type the address in the browser and it downloads fine. (The problem file is not exename)
For Each item As String In files
If item = exename Then
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Forms.Application.StartupPath & "" & item & ".new")

I'm downloading a file from my website using WebClient.DownloadFile(),I'm wanting to do it asynchronously, so my UI stays responsive, that would require me creating an array of web clients, is that bad practice? Or is it acceptable?I have looked into FileWebRequest, but thought WebClient looked easier to implement.

View 3 RepliesI have to make a virtual keyboard with my application which needs to input Chinese characters.
I can change the input language to Chinese, but cannot input Chinese coding as normal keyboard does...(I am using SendKeys.Send("A") as if I am pressing the "A" key on the keyboard, but the focus is on my virtual keyboard (another form other than the form of editing).)
any solution which I can get the virtual keyboard and the main task in the same application?
Recently, I handover the project which includes Chinese Characters on Form.But in my PC, these characters are display as "Square".So, can I know which font file I'm missing by checking the project contents file??And if I deploy with a set up exe to user, will this font file pack together? or i should manually insert this font in user PC?
View 8 RepliesI am creating xml files that contain chinese posts and it seemed to be working but I started getting an error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 4165 at column 25: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0x0B 0xC3 0xA5 0xC2 Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
When trying to open some of the resulting files.The line it references contains chinese characters and this occurs only in some situations and my guess is that the text is sometimes containing some characters that throw it off. How can I ensure that the text for that field will always be properly encoded? I don't even understand why the issue yet.
Public Shared xwriter As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(xmlfile, Encoding.UTF8)
I make sure the xmltextwriter is properly declared.
EDIT:
The issue is that I use vb.net and apparantly it encodes everything in utf-16 so I assume this is fine. The problem is that the text I am receiving is probably double encoded or incorrectly encoded and I need to clean it before using it; so that my xml is valid.
EDIT:
so if I need to fix my data, my question is how can I detect what encoding is used for a specific text and how do I convert into utf8 format that can be viewed in an xml file and make the file valid.

View 4 RepliesIs there a way to detect a Chinese character in a string which is build like this:
dim test as string = "letters 中國的"
Now I want to substring only the Chinese characters. But my code is database driven, so I can't substring it, because the length is always different. So is there a way I can split the string, from the moment I detect a Chinese character?
is there any way to convert chinese characters to pinyin?i searched google and this is the nearest result that i found[URL]..HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(Text);
but it requires .net framework 4 if i'm not wrong.
currently i am using .net framework 3.5. is there any other way or web service that i can use?

I make sure the xmltextwriter is properly declared and set the encoding and from what I understand is that vb.net encodes everything in utf-16. My code works well with streams I get from another source that sometime contains chinese characters and it never invalidates the xml. I tried cleaning the text using the following functions and the xml is now valid but when viewing the xml in the browser the characters are not chinese but junk.
Private Shared Sub replaceIllegalXMLChars(ByRef tempstring As String)
'remove any hexdecimal characters like and �
tempstring = Regex.Replace(tempstring, "&#x([0-9A-F]{1}[0-9A-F]{0,1});", " ")

so if I need to fix my data, my question is how can I detect what encoding is used for a specific text and how do I convert it into utf8 format that can be viewed in an xml file and make the file valid.
EDIT: I messed around with converting from one type to another, first ASCII to UTF8, then Unicode to UTF-8. did not work. The only time the xml is valid is when characters display as such:

I have an application that saves some text to a text file as unicode. When I run the application on a US English windows XP everything is fine, but when running on a system with Chinese version of XP, the file is saved as ANSI. Below is a code snippet showing UnicodeEncoding Does anyone know why Chinese Windows would save as ANSI instead of unicode?

fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length)

Essentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

View 3 RepliesI need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.
What Im making is like a face book and tagged login from my app
1. I have Combobox with 3 urls in there ( Facebook.com Tagged.com and Bebo.com )
2. I have a Form2 with webbrowser
3. I have a Button when clicked it should open up my form 2 and preview of the website which I selected in my combobox in form1
All I'm trying to do is when I select lets say facebook in my form 1 and click load it should open up my form 2 with facebook website in it.[code]Now when I click my button in form 1 it will load Form2 ( named Explorer1) but my form2 is not showing me facebook or tagged page for some reason
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I have two textboxes. I type in one of them and the text gets copied in real time into another textbox. There is one catch. I need to replace specific character with something else.
If I enter a quote " in textbox1, it has to be replaced with " in textbox2.
I started with something like the below code, but obviously this does not work (tried different stuff - this is for demonstration only). In the example below 'a' represents " , and 'b' represents "
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text

With the shape of really large characters such as numbers and alphabetic characters + others, is there a way to get that shape as a REGION please?Imagine a really fat snake forming the letter S or two rectangles placed together to form a large letter L or a T like the shapes in TETRIS.
1) Does anyone know of anything in VB.Net that can translate such shapes into a System. Drawing.Region or know of a project elsewhere that achieves this please?
2) While I'm on the subject, how would you SCALE UP / DOWN a System.Drawing.Region please? How would you work out the Transform Matrix required please?

Program works good, it is mixing characters good, but it doesn't write text to the file. It will write text in console, but not in file. Note: Program is working only with words that are divisible by 2, but it's not a problem. Also, it does not return any error message.
I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time. Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
