Recently, I handover the project which includes Chinese Characters on Form.But in my PC, these characters are display as "Square".So, can I know which font file I'm missing by checking the project contents file??And if I deploy with a set up exe to user, will this font file pack together? or i should manually insert this font in user PC?
View 8 RepliesIs there a way to detect a Chinese character in a string which is build like this:
dim test as string = "letters 中國的"
Now I want to substring only the Chinese characters. But my code is database driven, so I can't substring it, because the length is always different. So is there a way I can split the string, from the moment I detect a Chinese character?

What do I use to find the position of a certain character in a string? Lets say I had a number 12345.6789 I want to know how far the decimal point is from the left? Of course the position of the decimal will change as the number will change.

I'm a seasoned (long time) MS Access VBA programmer working to learn VB.net. I had a wingding character in an Access app that I'm trying to use in VB.net, but have not found how to do it yet. After 2 hours with Google and still no answers, I thought I should try here before giving up. If I need to use GDI+, please point me to a step by step explaination. The ones I have seen so far expect too much prior knowledge in VB.net.
View 10 RepliesI want to explicitly inform my user that they are not allowed to use any characters from the extended ascii character set (128-255). When I try to create a string of these values using the following [Code] It outputs them fine, with the exception of a bunch of blanks in certain areas(I am assuming these characters are unprintable), but I noticed that when I hover over the value of sVal in the VS, the tooltip/quickview of the value is written nicely on one line. Any ideas how to remove characters that would appear to be blank spaces (unprintable) when outputting this list?

I can change the input language to Chinese, but cannot input Chinese coding as normal keyboard does...(I am using SendKeys.Send("A") as if I am pressing the "A" key on the keyboard, but the focus is on my virtual keyboard (another form other than the form of editing).)
any solution which I can get the virtual keyboard and the main task in the same application?

View 3 RepliesI have 2 files:
1.) fname (original file)

In my program, I'm reading each file with the StreamReader, then prepending the header onto the original file to create a 3rd file which is the combination of the two. My problem is that the original file contains the following:

I have a call to Server.URLEncode(string) from an old asp file that stores user input into a table. In this case it was a string of Chinese charters.
The actual data is :
%E8%B0%B7%E6%AD%8C%E7%9A%84%E5%89%8D%E6%99%AF%E9%BA%A6%E5%85%8B%E6%96%AF%E9%9F%A6
I rewrote the code to vb.Net and after I get the data from the table, I call
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlDecode(string) to decode the string, add it existing mark up for an email and send it on its way.
Note that with Visual Studio i can see the HTML markup as it appears in the email, and ALL of the Chinese data is EXACTLY as I would expect it.
When the emial is received i get "???????????" characters where there should be the Chinese characters.
What I do not understand:
What Server.URLEncode actually encodes the data to. It appears to be HEX.
What the array of "?" means in outlook or any other email system that opens it, I assume it means "Hey i cant convert this stuff, so here is a question mark for kicks, good luck."
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.

Public Shared xwriter As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(xmlfile, Encoding.UTF8)
I make sure the xmltextwriter is properly declared and set the encoding and from what I understand is that vb.net encodes everything in utf-16. My code works well with streams I get from another source that sometime contains chinese characters and it never invalidates the xml. I tried cleaning the text using the following functions and the xml is now valid but when viewing the xml in the browser the characters are not chinese but junk.
Private Shared Sub replaceIllegalXMLChars(ByRef tempstring As String)
'remove any hexdecimal characters like and �
tempstring = Regex.Replace(tempstring, "&#x([0-9A-F]{1}[0-9A-F]{0,1});", " ")
[code]....
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 it into utf8 format that can be viewed in an xml file and make the file valid.
EDIT: I messed around with converting from one type to another, first ASCII to UTF8, then Unicode to UTF-8. did not work. The only time the xml is valid is when characters display as such:

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
