Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev2-May-07 8:50 QuickBooksDev 2-May-07 8:50  Hi, I would like to know the best/proper way of handling foreign or special characters between XML, disk file, and XML Soap Reader (UTF-8). Given that a VB6 program request a XML Soap Web Service. It gets the response and write it to a file using VB6 Open ... as output, print #nn, s.... A VB.NET program then reads this file via XMLTextReader but it fails due to a 'Invalid character in the given encoding'. The character is a 'ü' in München. I am sure there will be more. MSIE cannot read the file either. So what is the best way to get or write these characters. Hopefully I don't have to check each character. Thanks Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben2-May-07 9:03 kubben 2-May-07 9:03  When I have had data I needed to encode I have used this guys article and code to do it: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Base64EncDec.asp[^] You can see the article I wrote on using this encoding here: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/webservices/sending_files_via_webserv.asp[^] I don't know how else you can get around that issue. Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev2-May-07 9:36 QuickBooksDev 2-May-07 9:36  I got a page not found on both links. I assume yours was about CDATA but the first only gave me some code and no real discussion so I am not sure where to go from here. Help! Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben2-May-07 9:52 kubben 2-May-07 9:52  I guess my suggestion would be on the fields you know have special charaters use the base64encode before you put the item into the xml file. Then on the other end you will decode that field when you put it out. I just showed you my example of doing this with a cdata node which is more complicated then you need to do. Encoding the field will take care of the characters that are causing you problems. Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev2-May-07 11:13 QuickBooksDev 2-May-07 11:13  So I have to check every character for all the special characters??? The first article does an encoding for every byte for email, etc. Is that the right article? It seems strange that if I get a XML block in from Web Services that I would have to encode it to be viewed by an XML program like either MSIE or my XMLTestReader program. I think that I just do not understand what is going on. I am assuming that if the XML block comes in as UTF-8 that the ü is OK as is. So does it change when I write it to disk. I can still see a ü in the file but MSIE doesn't like it. What am I missing? Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben2-May-07 12:40 kubben 2-May-07 12:40  Ok, I see your problem. Your default encoding for when you write the file to disk is most likely not UTF-8. That perhaps is the direction you need to be going. I was encoding my stuff because I was stuffing xml inside of a cdata node of a soap message which is also xml. If I didn't encode it, it just would work. I actually remember running into a similar problem. If you look at your code with whatever stream you are using to write out the xml file, one of the overloaded options will include passing in the encoding. I would suggest that you pass that in as UTF-8 and it very may well fix your problem. Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev2-May-07 14:58 QuickBooksDev 2-May-07 14:58  UTF-8 is not an option in VB6 that I can know. It's either Unicode (UTF-16) or the default (ASCII). Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben2-May-07 16:19 kubben 2-May-07 16:19  vb.net supports the encoding. That is where you are getting the error anyway correct? So you may need to change the streamreader that you are using so that it is utf-8 encoding in vb.net Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev3-May-07 2:31 QuickBooksDev 3-May-07 2:31  The error occurs even when MSIE tries to open the file indicating that either the file was written bad or the data came in bad. The .net program fails when 'reading' the file in XMLTextReader. It is already to late by then. Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben3-May-07 2:36 kubben 3-May-07 2:36  If you have the correct encoding it seems like this should work. I think you need to try to write out whatever encoding that is support in vb6 that supports these characters and then read it in with that same encoding in vb.net Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev3-May-07 2:46 QuickBooksDev 3-May-07 2:46  After I write it I usually let MSIE try to read it. If MSIE can't then my VB.NET will probably fail as well. I can write is as Unicode. But MSIE will not be able to read it unless I change encoding="utf-8"? to utf-16. But this doesn't seem to be right. I would think that there should be an easier way just to write an XML block to disk without all the fuss. Question: When the accented character is read from Web Services in VB6 the data looks and displays fine (the ü looks like a u with 2 dots). It is also written do disk and it still looks fine with Notepad. Then why is it that MSIE stops with an Invalid Character on ü. Is the enocoding in utf-8 different from ASCII. What am I missing? Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben3-May-07 2:50 kubben 3-May-07 2:50  UTF-8 is different the ascii. Are you sure it is the ü that is causing your xml file to fail? Perhaps you are having other issues? If you want to send the bad xml file to me, you can sent it to ben.kubicek@netzero.com Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev3-May-07 2:59 QuickBooksDev 3-May-07 2:59  Yes, I am sure. If I change the character to a normal u with notepad it works fine. I cannot send the file since it has customer info in it. But I removed all the data and created a small file with just 1 tag. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <tag>München</tag> And MSIE fail on it. I will send the file via email also. So this is saying that when I read the data from web services that the ü is now ASCII? Or when it is written to disk it is change to ASCII? Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben3-May-07 3:40 kubben 3-May-07 3:40  I put that text into a file called test.xml I could open in it xmlspy with no issues or errors I could run this code: Dim doc As New XmlDocument() doc.Load("c:\temp\test.xml") again no issues or errors. What is the exact error message you are getting again? Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev3-May-07 3:58 QuickBooksDev 3-May-07 3:58  In MSIE The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///N:/accnt/CustomerFiles/MasterPiece/Err/x... <tag>M In VB.NET (using the real (big) file). Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 63, position 2. Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file kubben3-May-07 4:34 kubben 3-May-07 4:34  I think the issue in vb.net has to do with how you are reading the file. what does your code look like? Ben Re: Best Way to handle foreign characters from XML to disk file QuickBooksDev3-May-07 4:35 QuickBooksDev 3-May-07 4:35  The actual instruction is Dim XRsave As XmlTextReader XR = New XmlTextReader(TheFFn) . . While (XR.Read()) I loops until it gets the the bad tag. If it where vb.net then why can't MSIE read the file???? How to convert a BitArray of length 8 into a single byte edmonson2-May-07 6:06 edmonson 2-May-07 6:06  We're working with a byte variable and i am using it like a bitfield. To do this, i use BitArray class to avoid logical operations like and, or,... My problem is when i want to reverse the operation. Starting from my BitArray object of size 8, is possible to convert to a single byte ? Thanks.
