SQL - Pound Signs Disappearing From Strings
Jul 22, 2010
I'm usually a LAMP developer, but some .NET work has arrived. If I run the following code:
<% poundsign = "£" %>
<% Response.Write poundsign %>
<% Response.Write "£" %>
Nothing is displayed. However, outside of the <% %> tags (i.e., in the HTML) £ displays correctly. I have no trouble displaying the usual alphanumerics, it's just the £ sign that is proving problematic. The underlying file is in Windows 1252 encoding, and I need to serve it as such. If I save the file as UTF-8, I get mojibake instead of a £. What I can do to make this work, or any settings that might be preventing it from working (other than saving the file in a different format)?
Aside from the fact that my £s aren't appearing on the page, a major part of my problem is that I need to insert strings containing £ into a SQL server database, but if I form a SQL INSERT statement within the ASP, none of the £ signs end up appearing in the database. Inserting £ signs into the database from ASP isn't a problem when I save the .asp files as UTF-8 files, but I need everything to work in Windows 1252 encoding.

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

I'm facing a problem that Google couldn't solve yet!I'm trying to store URLs in an XML file. Problem is that these URLs contain Equal Signs (=) in them. And that generates an error.Here is my code: (**token is a variable that contains the URL)
Dim child As String = vbCrLf & "<Link URL='" & token & "'></Link>"
Dim fragment As XmlDocumentFragment = doc.CreateDocumentFragment
fragment.InnerXml = child

No matter what I try, it never matches the sign. I even tried using the string as the pattern. This function should be able to take a string like 1 day -36mins + 2s -1s and parse it into a TimeSpan object. Any pointers?

We were given this and for some reason I can't get this to work right. Here is the whole thing:The following code should display three rows of percent signs in the msgLabel. The first row should contain one percent sign, the second row should contain two percent signs, and the third row should contain three percent signs. However, the code is not working correctly.

I need to write a program that uses constants to establish the base pay, the quota, and the commission rate. The Pay menu item calculates and displays the commission and the total pay for that person. However, if there is no commission, do not display the commission amount (do not display a zero-commission amount).Write a function procedure to calculate the commission. The function must compare sales to the quota. when the sales are equal to or greater than the quota, calculate the commission by multiplying sales by the commission rate. Format the dollar amounts to two decimal places; do not display a dollar sign.The summary menu item displays a message box that holds total sales,total commission,and total pay for all salesperson. Display the number with two decimal places and dollar signs. the Clear menu item clears the name, sales, and pay for the current employee and then resets the focus.The Color and Font menu items should change the color and font of the information displayed in the total pay text box.Use a message box to display the program name and your name as programmer for the about option on the Help menu.
[code]...
So the issue is when I push the pay/calculate button everything is calculating correctly the first time, but then when I push clear to input another workers name and weekly sales and push calculate, my label is blank and does not display any info about the second worker. Then when I push summary after inputting the second worker, it's only displaying the total calculations of the first worker. I can't seem to figure out this problem on my own (After countless hours staring at my code I might add!), so I am hoping somebody can pinpoint what I have done wrong? EVerything else is seeming to work just fine.[code]...

i want the user to login, and the first thing is, having the text document for that(if theres a safer way to do it, let me know) then it goes to the weekly sales page, but theres also the goals for the sales, which rarely change, but if they do i would like them to be able to change them, then next page is the list of the workers, and if they need to i would like them to be able to add workers. so my question is: is there anyway that maybe i could save both the goals, and the workers in the text document, and when they need to change it/add workers it will save it in the text document and the next time they sign in the changes will be permanent? also is there a way to delete the user once they have been created, other than going into the txt document and deleting it.

When my full-screen sized Form is reduced in size by clicking on the "restore down" [i.e.] not to the minimized size but to in-between max and min, the scroll bar disappears. Is there a way to keep it automatically from disappearing [i.e.] to keep the scroll bar in view and available for use without having to make an adjustment to bring it back into view?

I can't understand what I am doing wrong ... I have a form on which there is a label . This label is actually part of a control array of labels (it was created by the migration wizard trough the upgrading process) . Each time I run the program and call my form , a message appears saying :Control array element 12 doesn't existAnd this is what I don't understand .I can see it during design time , how come it disappears during run time ? I have even checked its Index property , it's 12

I have a vb.net 2005 windows form with a menu strip that keeps disappearing both in design mode and when the program runs. I noticed that on other forms there are more properties listed for the menu than this one has. Anybody familiar with this problem?
I am using a split container with docking set to full below the menu but several other programs are set that way without any problems.

I have a panel on my GUI with radio buttons. When I run the code to determine which is the checked radio button from that panel, the code runs fine, but the panel disappears from the GUI after that. Here is the code I have to determine the checked radio button:
Dim rbName = (From r As RadioButton In Panel1.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton)() Where r.Checked Select r.Name)
System.Console.WriteLine(rbName.First)
I have tried using:
Panel1.Visible = True
and also
Panel1.Show()
Panel1.Refresh()
but it doesn't show the panel again. I tried the same thing for individual radio buttons such as RadioButton1.Visible = True and it doesn't work.

I have a bound datagridview and a dataset with tables.
I have two sets of comboboxes bound to the same field "Restaurant" in the tables (mirroring each other).
In the "NewEmployeeRestaurant" combobox I change the value and it reflects in the datagridview. I can shoot around clicking all over the datagridview on other employees, but when I return to the employee I changed, the value remains what I changed it to. All is good in the world.
However, when I go to the "EmployeeRestaurant" combobox with the same settings, I change the value and it is reflected in the datagridview. So far so good. But when I go to another employee then click back on that employee I changed, the datagridview still shows the new value but the combobox is empty! NOT COOL!

When one of my students opened his project yesterday, the Form he designed for it was no longer available. He could run the program but he couldn't edit the form as it had disappeared. Later he couldn't run the program at all as the error said that the form name wasn't part of the WindowsApplication. What's going on?

I am using VS2008 on Windows XP SP3. I have a form with two pairs of dependant comboboxes which are bound to a SQL database table. In each pair, the second combobox's choices are dependant upon the selection of the first combobox.
Both pairs of comboboxes behave as expected. However, when I use the binding navigator to look through other existing records, the text in the second pair of comboboxes disappears on records that already have selections.
The database table still holds the information, but it just doesn't display in the combobox. Again, this only happens on the second pair of comboboxes, not the first pair and both sets of comboboxes are set up exactly the same (albeit on different tables).

I am using Visual Studio 2008.
I have my project set to "Copy if New"
I created a form with variuos fields from a table.
I hit F5 to run the application and enter in test data and save.
I exit the project and then go back in and the new data is there.
I exit the visual studio 2008 completely and then go back in and the new data is there.
I did the above last night several time and the new data was always there.
This morning all of the new data I entered is gone... I have NOT changed the data base schema at all.

I am developing a VB.NET program. I currently have an ASP Textbox with a label showing inside it. But now the customer has to manually delete this label before entering their own text. How do I get this label to vanish as soon as they begin typing? My script is nearly working now for txtFind. But in this case, it shows a different textbox to display watermark image. How can I reset this watermark to only activate the txtFind textbox instead? And to remove the textbox on left-hand side?
Here is my new ASPX file code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >
function GetChart(thepart, thepartdesc, thecolor, row) {
Form1.part_transfer.value = thepart;
Form1.part_desc_transfer.value = thepartdesc;
Form1.submit();
