Encoding Issue? VB 2005 And VB6
Jun 2, 2009
I have an application that collects a signature on a handheld device, saves the data as a byte array and transmits it to the pc. This came originally from a sample from MS. The sample works fine.In my case I am sending this signature back to the pc where it is received by a VB6 application and stuffed into a database and then there is a dot net program that can or should be able to pull that data and reproduce the image.
Due to certian characters that may appear in the data such as ' " Null and such I run a little replacement routine on the data before I save it on the device and run the reverse before I try to rebuild the image. This also seems to be working.
Now if I save the data as a file on the device and load that file into my viewer the sig shows up just fine. It works with both the file that has had the replacements done as well as the one which has not. However when I transfer the data via my vb 6 application the sig is then distorted when viewed.
I have written the data to file as it comes into the pc and again after it has been parsed and in both cases it does not match what was actually in the file on the device that is being sent and I can not for the life of me figure out what is going on here.
Code:
sBytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(DataString)
bSent = wSocket.Send(sBytes)
Code:
Winsock1(Index).GetData strData, vbString
When I compare the file created on the handheld device with the one created ont he pc from the data received it gets odd. In text mode both files look alike even with the terminal font enabled but in binary mode they are different.The first noticable difference in Hex View is a ways into the first line the file from the handheld device has C3 A0 but the file written on the pc has E0 instead from there on all bytes are shifted by 1 yet when I look at it in text view no bytes are shifted and the character displayed where C3 A0 is in one and E0 in the other is the same accented a character.

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 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?

I'm using this code to convert string to ISO8859-1
[code..]
But the problem is when an user writes this caracter:
EXAMPLE:
[code...]
I think that my code is wrong. Because if I send the same string encoded "price+80%2BVAT", Why in VB.NET code not runs and in PHP runs fine? Is the same encoded string.

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..

Client:

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 have a simple question about string. Consider following code:
Dim S1 as String = "abc"
What is the encoding for S1? Is that UTF-8 or depending on user windows local setting?

I am writing a little project to parse a CSS file, and base64 encode all the background images.While I am able to parse the CSS correctly, it seems that everytime I try to convert the image file into a base64Encoded string, the string returned is always exactly the same.Please assume that all image paths are passing correctly to the method. In this instance, all images are fully qualified urls, so the first section of the method is what is doing the conversion.[code]

I would like to know the way a stream or a string is encoded before converting it. If a string is not utf-8 it would be converted to utf-8.

We know a tolower function will turn all A to a How to turn all à to a.The purpose is I am creating ids for databases and id need to be unique. Sometimes the same stores are written as à in one place and as a on other places. This will create duplicate id problem.So I need a function that will turn all à and all of it's variation into a. The same way ě should become e.
Basically I would use utf8_unicode collation on my databases. Letters that count as the same letter under that collation should map to the same character under this function.I need to make sure that all other east asian characers are not affected in anyway.

I have a challange to convert the detected Encoding format of Text file to selected Encoding format. Like if the detected file is in Utf-8 and if user want to convert the encoding to Utf-16 or ANCII or Unicode. It will happen on one button click and the file will convert to the desired output encoding format.
Right Now I am able to detect the encoding but conversion not happening.

I have a byte array that I'm encoding to a string:[code]Then I write that to a file via IO.File.AppendAllText.If I open that file in 010 Editor (to view the binary data) it displays as this:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 3F 0A 01 32 31 36..The original byte array contained 89 at position 11, and the encoded string contains 3F.If I change my encoding to Encoding.Default.GetString, it gives me:47 43 44 53 79 73 74 65 6D 73 E2 80 B0 0A 01 32 31 36.

What I have is a program that is receiving an image from my webcam 4 times each second.. What I am currently doing is just forwarding that image to a picturebox on my main form.. I do not keep the image in memory so as not to clog it up.. When you look at it seems like a video feed. Now what I want to do is to take that image every time it comes.. and put it into a video file, so as to record everything that is being seen by the camera.. Is there any way to encode a video preferably avi or mp4 video..

It doesn't appear that the strings are being encoded.
Issue: Dim encodedStr As String = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("<p>This is a test</p>")
The output produces:<p>This is a test</p>
Expected result:<p>This is a test</p>

I query a Quake3 masterserver via UDP, and get the response as below.As you can see, I had trouble figuring out the encoding of what the server sent...Is there any way to detect or set the receive encoding ?
baBuffer = new byte[1024*100]; // 100 kb should be enough
int recv = sctServerConnection.ReceiveFrom(baBuffer, ref tmpRemote);
Console.WriteLine("Message received from {0}:", tmpRemote.ToString());

I want to save a HTML file to MHT file. Now, it is done with CDO object I googled. But, I want to save the MHT file with indicated encoding by myself. For example, the content in HTML file are Chinese word; if I save as the HTML to MHT in IE, the content in MHT are encoded by GBK (it are hex word instead of Chinese word); if I save as the HTML to MHT with CDO object, the content in MHT are Chinese word.

The aspx file is basically as follows:

Is there something I can do so the source code doesn't escape characters like "&", "'", "<", and ">" ?

I am doing some url redirections in a project that I am currently working on. I am new to web development and was wondering what the best practise was to remove any illegal path characters, such as ' ? etc.I'm hoping I don't have to resort to manually replacing each character with their encoded urls.
I have tried UrlEncode and HTMLEncode, but UrlEncode doesn't cater for the ? and HTMLEncode doesn't cater for '
E.G. If I was to use the following:
Dim name As String = "Dave's gone, why?"
Dim url As String = String.Format("~/books/{0}/{1}/default.aspx", bookID, name)
Response.Redirect(url)
I've tried wrapping url like this:
Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.UrlEncode(url)
And
Dim encodedUrl As String = Server.HTMLEncode(url)

I ve the following stream but I don't know its encoding type because the stream reader detects encoding from byte order marks
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(respStream, True)
so how can I detect the encoding type AND convert it to another type? (for ex. from ASCII to UTF8)
PS: What is the difference with the following line?
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(respStream,
Encoding.ASCII, True)

I have an html string that is dynamically created server side.
strHTML = "<td><a href""google.com"" onclick=""SaveToDatabase('" + arrString(0) + "','" + arrString(1) + "')""
The value of arrString(1) is javascript:OpenDoc('ProductManual.pdf','vbShowDoc')

How can I encode this value to save in the database, and decode it when retreving it from the database ?

I am not really looking for any code here, I am trying to find out why I can't find any methods to handle encoding while saving text to an html using the savefiledialog. I have searched everywhere I know and can't find anything on it.
Very simply I have a textbox that holds a bunch of html...I have a function that allows you to preview the html as document text in the web browser element. No problem...works great...But when I save the html to an html file I clearly have an encoding issue:[URL]..I am really just looking for the information that will help me to correct this issue (put me in the right direction at the very least)
