EnCoding Message To DDE Client Using System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (message)?
Oct 28, 2009
I am sending a DDE message to a client using System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(item) . However, before the message is actually sent, I would like to get the message coded where if the item="Ask" then item=Ask (string variable) and so on. The code is:
Protected Overrides Function OnRequest(ByVal conversation As DdeConversation, ByVal item As String, ByVal format As Integer) As RequestResult
' Return data to the client only if the format is CF_TEXT
I would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
We recently came across some sample code from a vendor for hashing a secret key for a web service call, their sample was in VB.NET which we converted to C#. This caused the hashing to produce different input. It turns out the way they were generating the key for the encryption was by converting a char array to a string and back to a byte array. This led me to the discovery that VB.NET and C#'s default encoder work differently with some characters.
VB: Dim b As Char() = {Chr(149)} Console.WriteLine(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(b)(0))
The C# output is 63, while VB is the correct byte value of 149.if you use any other value, like 145, etc, the output matches.Walking through the debugging, both VB and C# default encoder is SBCSCodePageEncoding.I have corrected the sample code by directly initializing a byte array, which it should have been in the first place, but I still want to know why the encoder, which should not be language specific, appears to be just that.
i got a problem when receiving data from networkstream that was converted from bytes to string.. the output would be the same but when i compare the the string generated from Encoding.ASCII.GetString() compared to the actual string, the output is not the same..
This is my code..

just for ping purposes.. :)
my server pings to client..is there any instance that when the string will be converted to bytes, the string will change?
I can't use System.Text.Encoding, I get this error when trying to use it:
A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in WindowsApplication3.exe A first chance exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
this is the

I am writing a console application, which reads emails from different email boxes and processes through them. Emails are received from various automated systems. The email messages are logged and/or sent forward.
The problem is that some emails are encoded in UTF-8 and transfer-encoded in quoted-printable which messes up special characters (mainly ä,ö and å). I have not found any solution to convert them in readable format.
For example "ä" in quoted-printable is "=C3=A4". Using a normal conversion methods the result is "ä" (gibberish).
I shamelessly ripped this example conversion table from here: [URL]
[Code].....
So how do I get the real codepoint from UTF-8 value? I'd rather not use any external libraries. Besides I've tried a couple already and they failed.
I recently worked on a small-scale EPP Client, which is a communications protocol over TCP/IP using XML packets to exchange commands and responses. The server I'm working with specifically is employing SSL so the code contains references to an SSLStream certificates and passphrases - please don't ask me to post more code than I provide here.We're building the XML EPP Commands in raw System.Strings, then using System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes on the string to populate a Byte Array, then writing the Byte Array into the SSLStream. The server would communicate, negotiate certificates, and
if we don't mention the decoding what decoding will they use?I do not think it's System.Text.Encoding.Default. Things work well if I EXPLICITLY put System.Text.Encoding.Default but things go wrong when I live that empty.So this doesn't work well
Dim b = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("test.txt") System.IO.File.WriteAllText("test4.txt", b)
I have done very little with encoding of Text. Truthfully, I don't really even know what it means exactly.
For example, if I have something like:
CODE:
Is that 'encoded' in memory in a particular format? Does that format depend on what language I'm using?
If I were in another country, like China, for example, and I had a string of Chinese (mandarin? My apologies if I'm using the wrong words here) would the following code (that I've used fine on English strings) still work the same?
CODE:
Or would it lose all meaning when you convert that .Net string to a UTF8Encoding when that conversion isn't valid?
Finally, I've worked with .Net for a few years now and I've never seen, heard, or had to do anything with Encoding. Am I the exception, or is it not a common thing to do?
We are creating a Who wants to be a millionaire style game in VB. Our server is pulling information such as questions and answers from a Access Database and sending them to the contestants (Clients). All transfer of information is directly from the server to each client. One of the "Life Lines" we want to use is "Ask a friend", where one client is able to Instant message another client for a short time to get help on the question.
I am writing an application that must generate a plain Text file with fixed sized columns.my current code is:
Dim MyFilePath As String = Path & FILE_PREFIX & FileNr & ".TXT" IO.File.Delete(MyFilePath) Dim FileStr As New IO.StreamWriter(MyFilePath, False, <ENCODER HERE>)
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.se 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. Continued--->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")
I 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.
I used WriteAllText to set the encoding for a text file. When I wrote it, everything worked out fine. However, strange characters or symbols appeared in some ofm y fields without my having typed it. why is this so? The encoding I'm using is UTF8. I used the WriteAllText to write the fields to file but did not use the ReadAllText to bring the data back into the fields or program.
I have a VB2010 project where I need to read a tab delimited 50MB file using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser. This technique works fine until the reader encounters a Unicode character upon which it inserts the little square thingy. The obvious choice is to change the encoding of the reader to Unicode from the default. This would probably work fine but for most files but this one is fairly large and I get the error TextFieldParser is unable to complete the read operation because maximum buffer size has been exceeded. By the way this file can be read completely without the Unicode option. Making the file smaller or breaking it up really isn't an option. Is is possible to increase the buffer size or is there another way to read this data that places the data in fields like the textparser and allows unicode characters?
I have a problem with combobox. I set the DrawMode into OwnerDrawVariable so I can draw items seperately with styles, but the characters of the items are now displaying blocks. The block characters are none ASCII. It used to display well but not now and I don't know what caused it to happen. I didn't change my system locale. At the same time, other combobox that have Normal DrawMode displays nicely fine.
Below is my code, but when i send the message thru client socket i receive Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: size

create a message box that stores my user name, message, and post datetime into the database as messages are sent. Soon came to realise, what if the user changed his name? So I decided to use the user id (icn) to identify the message poster instead. However, my chunk of codes keep giving me the same error. Says that there are no rows in the dataset.

i would like to ask is there anyway to read a txt file with UTF-8 encoding using streamreader or filestream. the txt file is contain some extended ASCII that makes me cannot read the characters properly. I hav tried Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes()) but still it return wrong character when it's reading extended ASCII code.
I need to return an error message to the client, if they have entered invalid data when calling my web service. So if my code is: [code]Is there a way to display a more user friendly error message (such as a message box or just the words "Invalid Order ID")?
I'm making a simple decoder. Type a message in the "message" text box and it spits out a code in the "code" text box. If you pop a code into the "code" text box it spits out the message in the "message" text box. Seems simple, right? Well here's my problem. I typed "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" to test it and it will put a lowercase "f" at the beginning, put letters that aren't supposed to be in there in there, and replace what should be upper case letters with lower case. I commented out the code for replacing symbols because it seemed to work fine before I put them in the code but still the same result. I checked over the code to see if I mixed stuff up. Like I accidentally put the replacement for a lower case "e" as the replacement for a lower case "h" but I can't find anything.
url...we get the encoded as alphapet base64..i want to talk as low level programming what will happen or this data how it will represent as binary and send it is it encoded again as ascii to binary or there is another idea.
this is a continuation from the root cause of the problem exposed in this other thread. I'm starting a new thread with a different topic name because I think it is not related to the other thread's topic (which was encryptioto enumerate them.Anyway, we found out that some characters become changed from what their original byte value was, when you put them into a textbox.The specific characters are as follows:Unicode char
