Converting Symbol Characters To HTML?
Jan 12, 2012
I'm trying to ensure that all characters which are not numeric, or alphabetic are converted to HTML code when submitted to my database.
[Code]...
This successfully converts anything to HTML, but now I need to put some condition in there so it only does it where I need it to. ie; on any character which will either screw up my database entry, or screw up formatting when returned back to the screen as HTML (this database content is for product data for a website).
So for simplicity, I guess I want to convert only charcters which are not A-Z alphabetic or 1-0 numeric.
I could use isNumeric, but not sure how to detect alphabetic characters.
I've been Googling and found something which looked like it would work, but the logic/filtering was wrong.
So I figured I'd ask here :D

I am trying to export some data from a SQL Express table to Access using VB.net. The data is correctly displayed in SQL as, for example, temperature with the small degree object and the letters F or C for Farenhiet or Celsius. The character is of course represented by ° = "°" in html code, which is what appears in my access tables.
How can I get the insert statements to correctly pass this symbol? I have thousands of records and this applies to maybe a hundred or so in each of a few hundred DB's I am running this conversion on.I read the data from a Gridview an .aspx .net web page and then use an insert query with an Access OLEDB connection.

I'm having problems while attaching some strings to some XML nodes.To explain this better I've made a simple example... just imagine that I have this XML code:
<song>
<title>
Surfin' USA
</title>
</song>
notice that instead of simply writing "Surfin' USA" I'm expressly using ' instead of the single quote character.The XML code is valid - or at least it has been considered valid by some tools I have found and tested online.My Problem is that when I try to put that string into a XmlText object, this way:Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()

reading special characters within my VB code. ASCII code Char(34) = " works fine but Char(60) = < and Char(62) = > are not being read.
My Code
node.FirstChild.InnerText = Chr(60) & "httpRuntime executionTimeout=" & Chr(34) & "999999" & Chr(34) & " maxRequestLength=" & Chr(34) & "2097151" & Chr(34) & "/" & Chr(62)

So I have a program that parses a text file, and replaces keywords in it based on some criteria I've set up.I open the file, read it into a string, replace a line, then write that string back to a file.My problem is if the text file has any international characters in it, they get eaten when I rewrite the file.

I have a text document that is a roster of licensees. I am looping through this document to create a html table of this data. I've come across names with non standard characters.
This is one of them
Aimeé
I tried running all the inputs through the following function, but when it comes across the above character it doesn't replace it.
Function ReplaceBadCharacters(ByVal input As String) As String
Return input.Replace(Chr(233), "é")
End Function
How can I replace each character with the html equivalent?
EDIT
When I debug the above function it shows the input as Aime[] and not Aimeé.
In Chrome it looks like this Aime�

I've received a text file in which the text is like this, ãYAHOO.COM. When I'm debugging in Visual Studio, the value I see for the character is "�"c. Firstly can anyone tell what is the character before yahoo. Is it a special character or some html character, and what is the character that I'm seeing in VS while debugging.So it goes like this, the ascii value of the character turns out to be 63.But when I write the value to a file it generates 3 characters whose ascii values are above 127.

I have encrypted a string to something like this:
1. Asak2$)kla1015QAXKFskfa332aSJ2(Ska@Skljcmcel3p.lq,aowpqaskla2@)Skx.:Pdm^),dfs;
what i want to is convert this string to something like this
2. JXK2LB AP2WXB S1P0XE ZXPA3H X1LAKW DOXPS3
both 1 & 2 the above strings are fictitious (i made them up to make my point clear)
I am trying to make a licensing system for my VB 2010 express application. (2) above will act as a serial key which can be derived from (1) which is an encrypted form of something unique of the client computer.
I will then confirm the (2) from the client.

I am busy with trying to convert data from an application so that it can be shown in HTML form via websites. I need to make a tree wherein I have 3 main categories each with their own sub-categories. These are the categories/sub-categories.
MENU- ParentID, ChildID, NLtitel, IconID, NLFilenaam
ROOT- ParentID, ChildID, NLtitel, IconID
SUBMENU- ParentID, ChildID, NLtitel, NLFilenaam
How I go about coding this to create my tree? I have managed to create something but am not sure if I am at all on the right lines.
Here is the little bit of code:
Public
Class Form1
Private
Sub Form1_Load(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
As System.EventArgs)

I have the following code:
Dim lStatementText As String
Dim lStatementString As New System.Text.StringBuilder
lStatementString.Append(RndRes.Forms.txt_request)
lStatementString.Append(" ")
lStatementString.Append("<b><a>")
[Code]...
Where Request.ID, Request.Description and also RndRes.Forms.txt_* are all strings. I want to display the string I build up here in a Infragistics FormattedLinkLabel. The problem is that if any of the strigs from the Request class contains a HTML character, the label is not displayed properly and the HTML encoding is broken.I need to find a function that masks the HTML codes.

I am having a constant series of problems with encoding characters for output in an XML file through .NET. I have a feeling that the problem relates to a setting on the Response object being used but I'm unable to get anywhere finding the correct setting. If I do the following:
system.web.httpcontext.current.response.write("€ & ™" & server.HTMLEncode(" € & ™ "))
I get the following output:
€ & ™ € & ™
The question is why are standard ASCII characters encoded, but the extended(?) characters not? Is there some kind of setting I need to give to the server object to tell it to convert characters like Euro/Trade Mark?One of the bullet points of MSDN's HTMLEncode function page states that: Any ASCII code character whose code is greater-than or equal to 0x80 is converted to &#, where is the ASCII character value.

I wrote a VB.Net application that displays HTML help files according to user's search results.A user types some keywords and receives a list of HTML help files containing these keywords.When a list item is selected the HTML file is displayed in WebBrowser control.The problem is that I cannot mark the keywords in the displayed HTML file. I need to highlight them like in a standard Help. I tried many options and nothing works.If I change HTML element style manually (background color for a specific string) all pictures attached to this page are not displayed. After "Refresh" operation the pictures are displayed but the text selection is not enabled.I hope there is a standard function for this operation but I cannot find it.

I have the following client side code in .aspx page within a datalist itemtemplate that takes questions from the database like this:
<Itemtemplate>
<b> <%=GetQuestionNum()%>)
<%#Server.HtmlEncode(Eval("Text").ToString())%></b>
[code]....
but I'm finding it impossible to work with the html controls, i.e get their .text value from codebehind, or adding events! better way to replace the html with suitable asp.net web controls or from the codebehind and output it.

I want to create a VB.NET function that will take a string containing accented characters and convert it into the non-accented equivalent. My particular requirement is associated with non-English names. Some real examples are timac, Huki, Bttcher, Bj¸rnbakk, rnrohr and Synneg. I would want to convert those examples to Stimac, Hukic, Bottcher, Bjornbakk, Furnrohr and Synnevag, respectively.I am aware that a(with an umlaut accent) is often replaced by 'ue' but replacing it with u is better for my purposes. Similarly, I want to replace with o, rather than 'oe'. I am assuming that all the required conversions will need to be hard-coded in the function.Are there any slick ways to write such a function, ideally preserving the capitalisation in the original string?

I'm working on decoding a NMEA sentence that is a compressed 8-bit string. I'm having a very hard time of wrapping my head around the bit manipulation needed to convert this string. If someone could get me started with this it would be great.
Here is the incomming string:

This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td>
<input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden">
<img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work">
</td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?

Usage: Users create pretty HTML news letters in another app. They post the newsletter to the web, but they also want to set the contents of the HTML news letter file as the body of an email and send it using Application In Question. The users understand to use absolute link and image references when sending an E Newsletter. Environment:
AIQ is a VB.Net app deployed via ClickOnce. It is an intranet app; one can be sure MS Office 2003 and the interop 11 dlls are on the target machines.
Restrictions: MAPI is out. It mangles the HTML. Since it is a ClickOnce deployment, we can't register dlls (I think, correct me if I am wrong). Therefore CDO and COM is out (again, I may be wrong.... I would be happy to be proven so).
