I have to develop a program. This is encoding system. I have this Japanese characters that are:
I want to convert this string to encoding like this:
[code]....
Say only &, ?, /,.
I want the rest to remain intact, including chinese or japanese characters. Those can be inserted into get just fine right?
I don't do much .Net programming, but I do have one that I maintain, so the answer to this may be obvious.
Setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate with All Language Packs Installed
Visual Studio 2008 Winforms VB.Net project.
I'm in the process of localizing this project, and when I'm making the Japanese version of the forms, the characters display as squares, though they render in my browser correctly. I'm guessing that this is because the default font does not have a glyph for those characters.So, my questions:
Are winforms UTF-8, or some other character encoding?
Is there a way to change the character encoding?
Should I change the font for the Japanese forms, or will Windows do it?
What's the general best practice here?
I want to know that I am copying the characters correctly into my forms, and I want to be able to test them.How can I do this?
Arial Unicode MS does have all the glyphs, but I wasn't using it, because it wasn't in the VS2008 list of fonts. I manually edited the font box to use it, but then Visual Studio throws the message, "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted." I'm guessing that's because VS doesn't have permission to access that font for some reason. I go back to the default font, scary error message goes away.
Then, even when using Arial Unicode MS, the text renders as blocks in the forms titles.Same text renders correctly in labels.I think I want to use the default font, and let Windows handle it. I think I've read that everything from XP on will handle it. Windows 2000 won't, which is a shame, but what ever, I don't know what font I should use, and whatever font it is was excluded from VS.I don't know how to add it without getting lots of error messages about protected memory.Now the problem is, resizing the labels in the form, since the translated text is often larger.
Also, I don't have a support team to do this for me, but I could maybe install extra copies of Windows 7, and change to the Japanese language pack and try to run it.But that becomes a major pain.I thought I read that you could change the language while the application is running, but that doesn't seem to be true.MS docs talk about how to do this, but Windows 7 also tells you that you have to log out to change the language.MS Gothic seems to work, and it's part of VS 2008, but the title bar is still squares. That's really odd, since the same glyphs are in the winform.Is that because title bar fonts are set at a system level, and not the application level?
I have a SQL Server Db on DiscountASP Server. I have created a Front End in VB.net and trying to insert the values in the Database. Its working great except when i insert some Japanese Characters, the data is stored in the form of Question Marks (???). My Fields in Database are of type nvarchar and before inserting into DB i am not encoding/decoding any strings in VB.net.
how to store Japanese Characters in DB and then Retrieve them in Japanese as well?
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 have the following code:
Dim lStatementText As String
Dim lStatementString As New System.Text.StringBuilder
lStatementString.Append(RndRes.Forms.txt_request)
lStatementString.Append(" ")
lStatementString.Append("<b><a>")
[Code]...
Where Request.ID, Request.Description and also RndRes.Forms.txt_* are all strings. I want to display the string I build up here in a Infragistics FormattedLinkLabel. The problem is that if any of the strigs from the Request class contains a HTML character, the label is not displayed properly and the HTML encoding is broken.I need to find a function that masks the HTML codes.
ifference between Japanese operating system and English operating system when launch an application that be created base on .NET 3.5 framework. Develop computer:
Operating system : Windows Vista, Japanese edition
Developing environment :Visual Basic 2008
Run computer:
Operating system : Windows XP SP3, English edition
Both 2 computers are up to .NET 3.5 framework.The application ran well on Japanese edition OS computers but when I tried to launch on English edition OS computer, there was an error described : See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I guess this error is result of not able to reading from XML file that includes Japanese words. These words are defined as string.

i've developed vb.net window application in english language.. its working fine but it has to support japanees language also.. Displaying text, input text every thing should be japanees... so user can select english or japanees, based on that label, input control language has to change..

Public Class UTF8
Public Shared Function encode(ByVal str As String)
Dim utf8Encoding As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding
Dim encodedString() As Byte
encodedString = utf8Encoding.GetBytes(str)
[Code]...
Return encodedString.ToString() always returns "System.Byte[]". How could I get the real UTF-8 String?
all ` should be replaced with `` right? Well, is there a function built in by vb.net that does that sort of thing already?

I am trying to build an oscilloscope; I will be using a signal coming from digital encoder going through MAX232 logic level converter to the PC via the serial port 1. The signal from the encoder is 3VDC when it is high and 0VDC when it is low, the encoder resolution is 1024 PPR, the encoder is attached to motor (1800 RPM) so the max resolution is 1843200 pulses per minute or 30720 pulses per second. I would like to make my form display the changing of the input from the serialport1 to graphical display just like the digital oscilloscope. I
I want to be able to display the signal as on and off (square wave) from the encoder and be able to display the signal as speed so when the motor is running at full speed the line be at the top of the graph and when the motor drop to 20% of its full speed the line will drop to 20% and so on.
