I have thing problem here is the debugging outputs
"?uƒn74tn5187r&key=6e6e0936c4e6c48be56a72eba8964df0"
should be
"?u=83n74tn5187r&key=6e6e0936c4e6c48be56a72eba8964df0"

This question is similar to How to emulate MySQLs utf8_general_ci collation in PHP string comparisons but I want the function for vb.net rather than PhP.Recently I make a lot of supposedly unique key.Some of the keys are equivalent under UTF8 unicode collation.For example, look at these 2 key:
byers-street-bistro_38.15-79.07
byers-street-bistro_38.15-79.07
If I paste that into front page, and look at the source code you'll see
byers-street-bistro__38.15_-79.07
byers-street-bistro__38.15_-79.07
Note: In stack overflow they still look different.I know it's not the same. I guess even in stack exchange it doesn't show. Say I have 1 million such records and I want to test whether 2 string WILL be declared the same by MySQL UTF8 collation. I want to know that before uploading. How do I do that.So vb.net think that those are different keys. When we created mysql query and upload that to database, the database complain it's the same key. Just one complain and the upload of 1 million databases will be stuck.We don't even know what the hell is ? Where can we look that up anyway?Anyway, I want a function that when given 2 strings will tell me whether they will count as the same or not.If possible we want a function that convert strings into their most "standard" form.For example, seems to encode nothing and the function would recoqnize all those nothing character and eliminate that.Is there such thing?So far this is what I do. I need something more comprehensive.

I want to convert an ebcdic string to a utf8 string. I use the below online tool to test this, which is very good, for conversion related stuffs.

I want to convert ˆ‰‰ ø which is in EBCDIC to UTF8 string, which is thisisutf8 You can use the above link to test.
I refered the below article on how to read EBCDIC data in .net
[URL]
Then I used the same method to read the ebcdic data
Dim encoding As System.Text.Encoding = _
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(37)
However I am not getting the expected data
Here is my code, to get the result into a atring, a.
Dim a As String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(37).GetBytes("ˆ‰‰ ø"))
I've encountered an incredibly frustrating problem during my work with a function to extract META-data from images.
When reading data from a file created under Windows in any kind och charset there is no problem at all, but when reading from files created under OS X i can't convert it to utf8.
The problem only occurs on chars like 'å','ä', 'ö' and some other chars that i rarely use.
Is there any way of converting chars on-the-fly serverside?
I guess i need a function to determine the actual charset as well.
I've tried numerous ways of converting with HTMLEncode/Decode and URLEncode/Decode without ANY result at all.
I have two textboxes (InputTextBox, OutputTextbox).In the InputTextBox, if I type "a" I need to display tamil letter "அ" in OutputTextBox.For the above requirements, I tried like below,

For example, if the user enters "apple" the lable would read: a=65 p=80 p=80 l=76 e=69
I know the AscW command will return the Unicode Integer but I only know how to do the conversion for single letters
The code below only processes the first letter and only returns the code, not "the letter = the code"

Trying to develop a text editor, I've got two textboxes, and a button below each one.When the button below textbox1 is pressed, it is supposed to convert the Unicode text (intended to be Japanese) to Shift-JIS.The reason why I am doing this is because the software VOCALOID2 only allows ANSI and Shift-JIS encoding text to be pasted into the lyrics system. Users of the application normally have their keyboard set to change to Japanese already, but it types in Unicode.How can I convert Unicode text to Shift-JIS when SJIS isn't available in the System.Text.Encoding types?

View 2 RepliesI've been trying to trace down a bug for hours now and it has come down to this:
Dim length as Integer = 300
Dim buffer() As Byte = binaryReader.ReadBytes(length)
Dim text As String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
The problem is the buffer contains 300 bytes but the length of the string 'text' is now 285. When I convert it back to bytes, the length is 521 bytes...The same code is a normal WinForms app works perfectly. The data being read by the binary reader is a UTF8 encoded string. Any ideas why Silverlight is playing funny buggers?
I had an interesting bug today when sending plain text emails from our system. We format messages like this: -1st something happened blab bla. -2nd something else happened blab blab blaa bla. Today we had an email that looked like this: -1st something happened blab bla. -2nd something else happened blab blab blaa bla $1000.00 -3rd Something happened. So above, we see that we lost the CrLf but only on the message that didn't have a period and ended in 0. I went through the code and found the CrLf is intack up until we send the email. I tracked the code down below, I am guessing it applies to C# as well:

trying to find a decent answer for my question; I do have a utf8 file which I (down)load, manipulate and wanting to save back again.The result always is that the file I produce is not in utf8 format;

Dim w As New BinaryWriter(fs2, Encoding.UTF8)

I have a procedure that should produce a valid UTF8 string or file. But I must do something wrong as IE show the following error when I try to open the file in it:"Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/TEMP/test.xml'. Line 1, Position 1"Below you'll find the code example.NB: The code example is in VB but I can also handle C#; that's why I've added the C# tag also.

View 8 RepliesHow can I Convert a Unicode value to its equivalent string for example i have "రమెశ్" and i need a function that accepts this unicode value and returns a string I was looking at the System.Text.Encoding.Convert() function but that does not take in a Unicode value, it takes 2 encodings and a byte array. I bascially have a byte array that I need to save in a string field and then come back later and convert the string first back to a byte array. So i use ByteConverter.GetString(byteArray) to save the byte array to a string but can't get it back to a byte array.
