View 1 RepliesI'm exporting a table of data to CSV format, e.g.:
"COL1","COL2","COL3"
"1","some text", "£232.00"
"2","some more text", "£111.00"
"3","other text", "£2.00"
The code to export is fairly simple using an ashx handler:

My issue is when Excel tries to open the exported file the character appears before all £ signs, e.g. £232.00 when the value should be £232.00.

Samples of these characters are from [URL]
Say I want to analyze data from the web and found some strange character
how to remove this character 💀 ??
The occurance is rare.
In fact, how to know all characters that may be problematic for mysql and remove that? I am not saying escapeable characers. I am saying characters that are neither numeric, alphabeth, or chinese scripts, or punctuation. Characters that's totally bizarre.
How do I get rid of that from a string?

I have developed an application and need to allow users to enter text in any language and save it to my database. However the text is saved as '?' in my database. I have googled quite a bit and found that people have suggested not to use varchar, text types but use nvarchar and ntext etc in your database. I have gone through and made these changes to my database. However it still saved text as '?', I then found people where saying about adding 'N' infront of the text prior to saving into the database. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do this in a stored procedure.
Stored Procedure
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spUpdateActionTaken] @ID as varChar(4),@action as text,@modifyDate as varchar(50)
AS
UPDATE commentsTbl SET commActionTaken=@action,modifyDate=@modifyDate WHERE [ID]=@ID
Note: Fields commActionTaken set to nText
VB.Net Code
Code:
Dim actionTaken as String = Me.textBox.Text
Dim myCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("spUpdateActionTaken")
myCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time.Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?

What i have so far is when you select the option in the combobox the textbox and button will appear. then when you type something it replaces each letter with something new, in the same textbox.what i cant figure out is how to make it so where if i click the button again it translates the replaced letters back to the original ones.

Public objword As New Word.Application
objword.Documents.Open(FileName:=ofilename)
^ Showing the declaration of the word document that i wish to edit.
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
objword.Visible = True
oDoc = objword.ActiveDocument
oDoc.Range.Text = codes(j, 1) & " " & codes(j, 2)
This gets the document and adds text into it, exactly what i want it to do. But it replaces the whole document. I just want it to add text at the start of the document. Not replace the whole document.
I have a form e.g. Form1 , which displays a datagridview.
1) On form load, the datagridview doesn't have any data
2) The user clicks on a button called filter, this opens a form where the user can specify parameters to filter the data by
3) This form calls a setData() in Form1, which fills the dataset with the data
This works fine. If I click on a button called controlPanel it launches another form and hides this. E.g.
dim cp as new ControlPanel()
this.hide()
cp.show()
On the controlpanel I have a button that links to form1. If I click on it. E.g.
dim frm as new Form1()
this.hide()
frm.show()
It redisplays Form1 but without any data in the datagridview.
I think the problem is that since I am creating a new instance for Form1 it comes up with the blank Form1. Is there a way to redisplay Form1 so that it retains the data that was displayed last, without having to retrieve the data from the database.
i have this portion of code to display the objects and position them but they arent showing on the form1 load how do i fix this?

View 5 RepliesI 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 label in my form which displays the text-content stored in a text file. However it is not able to display special characters like ", ', : etc. Instead it just puts a small rectangular box (same size as that of the text).
How do I get them to display these characters? Should I not use text files in this case or do I have to turn on some control-properties?
I'm using the following to populate a listbox from a sql server:[code]Is Available returns true (It's a bit in sql) or false - Is it possible to replace this with something shorter, say a checkbox or tick image?Also, is it possible to only display actual data rather than the whole field including empty characters?

In my program I want to add some values together with a running total, and then show that total in a text box. When I try to run it, though, it just shows zero.Here's the code I'm using
TotalPrice = TotalPrice + Price
Next
TxtLuggage.Text = TotalPrice
this chunk was a part of a For next loop.
Something annoying suddenly happened with a text box in a self made program in Visual basic 2008. Whenever I try to run the program, this text box shows what is behind the program itself. (For example my desktop background)
Not only that, if I click on it with the mouse, the window which is behind my application will pop up in front.
I tried to replace it with a new text box and a new name, in case I'd been messing around with some wrong properties, but the problem still remained.
