Hi, i am currently working on ASP.Net v1.0 and is encountering the following
problem. In javascript, I'm passing in:
"somepage.aspx? QSParameter=<Ro wID>Chèques</RowID>" as part of the query
string. However, in the code behind when I tried to get the query string
value by calling Request.QuerySt ring("QSParamet er"), the value I got is:
"<RowID>Chq ues</RowID>". The special character "è" has been stripped out.
The web.config file is currently set to use UTF-8 for request, response, and
file encoding. What could be causing characters like "è" to be stripped out
of the query string in the code behind? Do I need to set some other value or
use some special processing code? Thanks.

Open your aspx page and select "Save <<page name>> As..." The Save
button in the dialog should have a down arrow at the right of the
button. Click this and select "Save With Encoding". You will be asked
if you want to overwrite the file. Click Yes to this. You will then
get a dialog asking you to select Endcoding and Line Endings. Leave the
Line Endings alone, but select the "Unicode - Codepage 1200" option and
save the file.
What is happening is VS.NET is saving your aspx file an an ASCII file,
which only has one byte per character and as such cannot support foreign
language character sets. When you save it with encoding, it will save
it as a text file, but it will keep the second Unicode byte with the
file.

That won't help, but rather be harmful, without changing the
fileEncoding attribute in web.config to UTF-16LE. Since Lu's already
using UTF-8, this is a waste of time. The files must be stored as UTF-8
instead.

That's not correct. ASP.NET seems to use the platform's default
encoding if no fileEncoding is specified, just like VS .NET does. I say
"seems", because that behaviour isn't documented.
If that platform default is for example Windows-1252, you can easily
save many special characters used in Western Europe natively in your
source files.

Hi, for this page, what we do is that we have an XML control on the ASPX
which we use to dynamically create a table based on data returned from our
business objects. This dynamic table that we render contains texts and
numbers that the user can click on to go a pop up that will show more info.
When the user clicks on the link, the javascript grabs the necessary
information from the dynamically render page and pass them as query string
parameters. So, the string "Chèques" is part of the data that is returned
from our business object and dynamically rendered on the screen. The string
is also used in the query string parameter when the user clicks on
appropriate link. What is happening now is that the page renders properly
with the correct text. The javascript is grabbing the correct test and
calling the popup window ASPX page with the correct query string parameter.
So if I put an alert() call in the javascript, I will see
"<RowID>Chèque s</RowID>". However, when the popup window ASPX page's code
behind Page_Load() is called, the call to Request.QuerySt ring() returns
"<RowID>Chq ues</RowID>". In the web.config, I have request, response, and
file encoding set to utf-8. So it seems like somewhere between when the page
is submitted, and the Page_Load() event is fired, the "è" character was
removed for some reason. The ASP.Net project is currently on framework v1.0
and upgrading is not an option currently.
Also, I have Window-1252 character code page installed according to
"Regional and Language Options" in control panel. Not sure how to set it as
the default code page though.
Any ideas or suggestions to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I guess that the JavaScript code uses a different encoding internally
when fetching the popup page. You could use a debugging proxy like
Fiddler ( www.fiddlertool.com) to monitor your HTTP traffic.

Hi,
I'm trying to pass a querystring with certain common words removed (and,

querystring. How do I remove rather than replace?

Hi all,
Can ASP retrieve UTF-8 encoded data in query string properly, when
used with IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 Pro/Server?
With some trial and error, it seems that adding the directive
@CodePage = 65001 to an ASP page makes the ASP page decode UTF-8 data
in query string properly. Without the directive,
Request.QueryString(var) returns garbled data. With the directive,
Request.QueryString(var) decodes UTF-8 encoded data properly. (I tried

Hi I have a problem with a customer's XML being submitting to me in a

They said that there are 18 other partners who has been able to tweak the

So I guess here is my question, in ASP, when working with XML, how do you
