Using An Ampersand In A String?

Apr 18, 2012

I've tried:

Const amper As String = "" & ""
ToolStripButton1.Text = "Save " & amper & " Close"

and also replacing the "amper" with Char(38), but it doesn't show up. This is the full

Private Sub Dialog1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Save and close button text
Const amper As String = "" & ""
ToolStripButton1.Text = "Save " & amper & " Close"
End Sub

Am I using both methods wrong?

Ampersand In Directory Name?

Nov 24, 2011

In my program I have a linklabel that is used for local directories and it gets the directory from an XML file, but whenever there is an ampersand in a directory name I get errors. I've tried adding "ToString", having two ampersands (&&), and puting quotes around the directory in the XML file, but it doesn't work. Is there any way for it to treat the ampersand as a regular character? Here's the code that pertains to the directory path

'this part loads the xml file and sets the inner text to the proper variable
'let's pretend the directory in the XML file is "C:\foo & bar\"
doc.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\Anime\" & title)

Ampersand (&) In Data - Does It Need To Be Encoded

Jan 11, 2011

I have a data table being returned that populates a repeater. One of the fields has the & character in the data and displays perfectly within the asp:literal on the screen. The source shows the & character un-encoded.My question is this: Does it NEED to be encoded? A co-worker is insisting that it must be encoded in order to be "HTML compliant". But it works perfectly for display purposes. Is this REALLY required for any type of compliance that I should even be worrying about?

Trailing Ampersand In .NET Hexadecimal?

Jul 22, 2011

What's the trailing ampersand on VB hexadecimal numbers for? I've read it forces conversion to an Int32 on the chance VB wants to try and store as an Int16. That makes sense to me. But the part I didn't get from the blurb was to always use the trailing ampersand for bitmasks, flags, enums, etc. Apparantly, it has something to do with overriding VB's fetish for using signed numbers for things internally, which can lead to weird results in comparisons.

So to get easy points, what are the rules for VB.Net hexadecimal numbers, with and without the trailing ampersand? Please include the specific usage in the case of bitmasks/flags and such, and how one would also use it to force signed vs. unsigned.

Extract String From String When Only Beginning Of String?

Aug 12, 2011

Basically I have a webresponse stream:dim lol as string = readstream.tostring there is a lot of information within the string but only one link starting with http: located near the end of the string - however there is no constant character point where I can start... (i.e. 38)

I want to extract the link from the string i.e. dog cat plane car [URL]..that is approximately how it looks above - words and url substituted I want to just extract [URL]..I had an idea of parsing the string from http: to the end Then after that splitting the string up again to remove the }], however it does not return anything

Asp.net - Decimal.parse Fails For Currency String Created With String.Format?

Apr 5, 2011

I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?
