im working on an ASP.NET app in VB.NET and have problems with foreign
characters.
everything works ok, special characters are presented ok onscreen when typed
in the body of the page, using html encoding or not, i.e.
á and á both display an a with an acute symbol
the problem come when is pass foreign characters using parameters and get
the using Server.Params or Request.QuerySt ring, they simply disappear.
a call test.aspx?param =áa&eacu te;e
should show the param string as áaée, but it only shows it as ae.
both pages are using utf-8 charset, but i also tryied without it, and didnt
work either...
also tryied to encode the querystring using Server.HtmlEnco de(string) and
Server.URLEncod e(string) before passing it, but nothing...
my system is configured as any regular us machine, english os, english
explorer, etc. nothing special there... any hint? 2 9422
Have you tried setting it to use unicode?
Here's more info on the subject: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...gbasetypes.asp
Also, have you checked the Globalization section of the web.config?
Try changing it to something more like this:
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<globalizatio n
fileEncoding="i so-8859-1"
requestEncoding ="iso-8859-1"
responseEncodin g="iso-8859-1"
/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I hope this helps,

Is there a way or a program (for windows) that can translate foreign
characters inot the proper html code? I have a word document with many

editing it with all the html code ie "ścią". Certainly someone
must have a program that can do this automatically.

There's a bunch of confusions about the display of non-ascii characters
such as the bullet "•". These confusions are justifiable, because the
underlying stuff is technology, computing technologies, are in a laymen
sense, extremely complex.
In order to be able to type the bullet char, post it to a newsgroup,

I am storing a list of files in an XML file as a sort of database.
Some of these filenames have accented characters (i.e. á é í ó ú
or ñ). However, upon writing the filename to the XML file, the
accented character is dropped. This causes a...

Hello everyone,
Wide character and multi-byte character are two popular encoding schemes on
Windows. And wide character is using unicode encoding scheme. But each time I
feel confused when talking with another team -- codepage -- at the same time.
I am more confused when I saw sometimes we need codepage parameter for wide
character conversion, and sometimes we do not need for conversion. Here are
two examples,

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
