Why Chinese Windows Would Save As ANSI Instead Of Unicode
Mar 3, 2010
I have an application that saves some text to a text file as unicode. When I run the application on a US English windows XP everything is fine, but when running on a system with Chinese version of XP, the file is saved as ANSI. Below is a code snippet showing UnicodeEncoding Does anyone know why Chinese Windows would save as ANSI instead of unicode?
Dim info As Byte() = New System.Text.UnicodeEncoding().GetBytes(txtScenDetails.Text)
fs.Write(info, 0, info.Length)

I've been looking for a way to convert Unicode characters into ANSI, but unfortunatelly I can't find what I'm looking for, so please be so kind and help me with this one.I'll use example in my native language (Polish).How to I convert characters such as , , to A, E, C etc.If you have an English version of Windows and you attempt to save a txt in Windows Notepad with such characters, you will get a warning message saying those will be converted to ANSI. This is precisely what I would like to achieve in a TextBox in .NET.Basically Unicode in TextBox1 and the same text but in ANSI in Textbox2.

logData = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path + "\" + filenname);

I'm using IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName) to read all lines from text file to array of strings at once. Problem is, text lines include ANSI characters above ASCII value 127 (Scandinavian letters e.g. " (Ascii 196), (Ascii 246) and (Ascii 233). Array is build up nicely, but all chars above ascii value 127 are not shown right. How can I use ANSI character set with .ReadAllLines to correct this problem? In VB6 with "Open Filename For Input As #1 / Line Input #1, txtLine" there wasn't any problem. OBS: This is already solved, found the answer by myself:
Dim myEncoding As Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252) ' Windows-1252
Dim strLibrary As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName, myEncoding)
Problem was to find right character set, which was Windows-1251 (ISO-8859-1)

I have to make a virtual keyboard with my application which needs to input Chinese characters.
I can change the input language to Chinese, but cannot input Chinese coding as normal keyboard does...(I am using SendKeys.Send("A") as if I am pressing the "A" key on the keyboard, but the focus is on my virtual keyboard (another form other than the form of editing).)
any solution which I can get the virtual keyboard and the main task in the same application?

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 am creating xml files that contain chinese posts and it seemed to be working but I started getting an error:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 4165 at column 25: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0x0B 0xC3 0xA5 0xC2 Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
When trying to open some of the resulting files.The line it references contains chinese characters and this occurs only in some situations and my guess is that the text is sometimes containing some characters that throw it off. How can I ensure that the text for that field will always be properly encoded? I don't even understand why the issue yet.
Public Shared xwriter As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(xmlfile, Encoding.UTF8)
I make sure the xmltextwriter is properly declared.
EDIT:
The issue is that I use vb.net and apparantly it encodes everything in utf-16 so I assume this is fine. The problem is that the text I am receiving is probably double encoded or incorrectly encoded and I need to clean it before using it; so that my xml is valid.
EDIT:
so if I need to fix my data, my question is how can I detect what encoding is used for a specific text and how do I convert into utf8 format that can be viewed in an xml file and make the file valid.

Is there a way to detect a Chinese character in a string which is build like this:
dim test as string = "letters 中國的"
Now I want to substring only the Chinese characters. But my code is database driven, so I can't substring it, because the length is always different. So is there a way I can split the string, from the moment I detect a Chinese character?

I make sure the xmltextwriter is properly declared and set the encoding and from what I understand is that vb.net encodes everything in utf-16. My code works well with streams I get from another source that sometime contains chinese characters and it never invalidates the xml. I tried cleaning the text using the following functions and the xml is now valid but when viewing the xml in the browser the characters are not chinese but junk.
Private Shared Sub replaceIllegalXMLChars(ByRef tempstring As String)
'remove any hexdecimal characters like and �
tempstring = Regex.Replace(tempstring, "&#x([0-9A-F]{1}[0-9A-F]{0,1});", " ")
[code]....
so if I need to fix my data, my question is how can I detect what encoding is used for a specific text and how do I convert it into utf8 format that can be viewed in an xml file and make the file valid.
EDIT: I messed around with converting from one type to another, first ASCII to UTF8, then Unicode to UTF-8. did not work. The only time the xml is valid is when characters display as such:
