View 16 RepliesI'm getting the following error when decoding a creation date:A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException'occurred in mscorlib.dll Hour, Minute, and Second parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.
I'm doing pdfdate.decode(xdoc.info("creationdate"))
Here's the info from the PDF file:
/CreationDate (D:191010319150120)
/Producer (Acrobat Distiller Daemon 3.01 for Solaris 2.3 and later
(SPARC))
/Creator (tif_convert_2_ps())
/Title (/tardir/tiffs/a386689.tiff)
/ModDate (D:20010320070957)
The Modification date seems to be a valid date, but, the creation date looks kinda weird to me. More intriguing is that when I get the properties of this file using ADOBE Reader it shows a valid date for the creation date field.
I have an app to send SMS (developed using vb 2008) The characters allowed for the texts sms are them of "iso-8859-1" When the user writes in the textbox I do not want to allow him to write not allowed characters. Is there some instruction or function in VB 2008 to do it automatically?
I might create an "a bit "manual" function but before I prefer knowing if it exists something more automatic.

I have a long UTF8 encoded text string. The actual values stored in the string are hexadecimal. I want to convert the encoding and save to a binary file.
Is there a simple encoding.convert or other method to do this with?
Basically the output is twice as large as it needs to be right now. The long way of doing it would be a routine to go through the string two characters at a time and convert to byte array and then .writeallbytes I guess. It seems there must be a simpler way of converting this?

View 6 RepliesI used WriteAllText to set the encoding for a text file. When I wrote it, everything worked out fine. However, strange characters or symbols appeared in some ofm y fields without my having typed it. why is this so? The encoding I'm using is UTF8. I used the WriteAllText to write the fields to file but did not use the ReadAllText to bring the data back into the fields or program.

How do I Extract all Characters in Unicode, UFT8,iso-8859-1 to 9 etc to a list or array In VB?I have a SQL Database of which contains values from 51 languages. I need to detect which ISO-8859-? Was used to encode the string value. For example Turkish Characters i.e. "Ö Ş ş ğ ü Ç" Once I have the correct ISO, I need to convert the Chars with-in the string to Unicode using only if the string value contains values that are not UFT7, and convert the string to HEX?The reason I need to detect the ISO etc is because we are sending SMS, of which jump from 160 characters to 70 if a special characters are used, i.e. "Ö Ş ş ğ ü Ç" Is there a simple way to extract the ISO-8859 Character Set to a Array etc, or is there a simple way to check if the character exists with a ISO-8859 data set?
View 5 RepliesMy questions isn't really about a programming language but, since I did not find a general programming forum, I chose this one as I know VB.Net. There's this game, that you might already know, which is called Star Wars Galaxies (And is ending soon actually .. ). For each account and character, the game automatically saves chat logs in a .cht file. A player can have multiple chat channels that have different chat filters (group chat, public chat, etc) and they are all saved in this file. I'm thinking they are probably separated by some kind of a "flag" for the game to be able to detect them.
