What is the same control on VS 2008
I'd like to use HttpUtility.UrlEncode in a console application, VB.NET, VS 2010 Beta 2.
System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(item)
Error message: 'HttpUtility' is not a member of 'Web'. In this question Anjisan suggests to add a reference to System.Web, as follows:In your solution explorer, right click on references Choose "add reference"In the "Add Reference" dialog box, use the .NET tab Scroll down to System.Web, select that, and hit ok However, I don't have a System.Web entry at that location.
They both encode html
Why microsoft use several different function?
Which one is better? are there any strings that are encoded differently between 2 functions?I notice that System.Web.HttpUtility. HtmlEncode doesn't work in client framework. Why?
Where is httpUtility.UrlEncode in 2010?? From what I read in the forum I need to add a ref to System.Web. But I only see references to System.Web.Application.Services and System.Web.Services, which don't resolve the problem.
View 1 RepliesI 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.

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 am writing a console application, which reads emails from different email boxes and processes through them. Emails are received from various automated systems. The email messages are logged and/or sent forward.
The problem is that some emails are encoded in UTF-8 and transfer-encoded in quoted-printable which messes up special characters (mainly ä,ö and å). I have not found any solution to convert them in readable format.
For example "ä" in quoted-printable is "=C3=A4". Using a normal conversion methods the result is "ä" (gibberish).
I shamelessly ripped this example conversion table from here: [URL]
[Code].....
So how do I get the real codepoint from UTF-8 value? I'd rather not use any external libraries. Besides I've tried a couple already and they failed.
I am developing, in VB.Net, an application that reads from text files using a FileStream Object. I do not use a StreamReader, since the buffering it does makes it impossible to use Seek.hose text files form a database, with both index and data files. In index files, all fields are fixed-length, which is not the case in data files.I've recently run into a problem. Since some of my files contain accents, the corresponding characters take more that 1 Byte. Therefore, when I seek in the index file, and offset appears the rest of my index file is not read in the right way
View 4 RepliesI was wondering how to implement a custom character set for use by an application, i.e. hex bytes that are read by the program then converted and displayed in the window. If this requires first converting the bytes in a file to an already implemented character set, I'm cool with it - I'll go with whatever works or works best. I'm writing with VB.NET 2010, and running Windows 7 Home Premium x64, by the way.

I know I can import Microsoft.Visualbasic and just use the ones I used in vb6. But I don't want to ;)In vb6 DateDiff("d", dte1, dte2) would just give me the number of days between the 2 dates and it didn't matter which order I put the 2 dates, it would still return x days.In .Net i have Date.Compare(dte1, dte2) but I have to know which date is newer other wise I get a negative result because I subtracted a bigger from the smallerIs there no .NET way to just get the difference without having to subtract then multiply by -1 if its less than 0?ALSO,In vb6 I could use Weekday function to get what day of the week a date is and use it in the DateAdd function to find the first day of the week's date. Like so: dim firstday as date = DateAdd("d", (Weekday(today, vbWednesday) - 1) * -1, today) would like a .Net way to find the date of the first day of the week, giving that our week might not start on sunday or even monday. I need to pass a date and the weekstart day (wednesday) and have it return the date for the wednesday. Like this:dim firstday as date = GetFirstDay(Today, Firstday.Wednesday)so if the date i passed was "9/3/10" which is a friday, the function would return "9/1/10" which is the date my week started on.

View 3 RepliesI am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

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.
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.
