Server.HTMLDecode doesn't decode char 345

Hello!
I have a problem decoding the czech character:
r
The HTML code for this character is ř but when running
Server.HTMLdecode on that string it just returns ř instead of the real
char. (It works on a lot of other characters)
I need to decode this string in order to render an image with this character
as a part of a headline.
Can anyone help me with this issue, or is it maybe a bug?
/kindest regards, JonasThis works fine for me:
Response.Write(Server.HtmlDecode("ř"));
My web.config specifies:
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />
maybe yours is using something else?

Maybe it is because I'm usning the Server object in a function in a non web
environment - a regular class:
string decodedText = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.HtmlDecode(
text );
where the text property sometimes contains the char ř
Is there some way that I can tell the HtmlDecode which encoding to use?

i don't think that's your problem (although within a class, there's no
reason not to use System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode which decouples your
class from the context (ie, it can be reused outside of the web)).
All HtmlDecode does in the case of a numeric value (such as 345), is:
char c1 = (char) ((ushort) int.Parse("345"));
Response.Write(c1);
Is your page encoding set to utf-8? (if you put tracing on, at the top of
the trace information it says the encoding).l

Yes the encoding is set ut utf-8
the strange thing is that the decodedText property still contains the
"ř" string after HtmlDecode
Nevermind, thanks for your explanation of the HtmlDecode, I have now created
a SpecialDecode function instead that works fine
private static string SpecialDecode(string decodedText)
{
string tmpResult = decodedText;
bool found = true;
try
{
while(found)
{
if( tmpResult.IndexOf("&#") > -1 )
{
string chars = tmpResult.Substring( tmpResult.IndexOf("&#")+2, 3);
//decode
char c1 = (char) ((ushort) int.Parse(chars));
tmpResult = tmpResult.Replace("&#" + chars + ";", c1.ToString());
}
else
{
found = false;
}
}
}
catch{}
return tmpResult;
}

Numeric references are based on Unicode code points, thus
requestEncoding and responseEncoding don't apply.

Server.HtmlDecode("‘") does not work

I am trying to decode character ‘#; but it is not working. Anybody
knows how to decode this character?What to you mean by decode. It's not coded.

‘ is an UTF-8 representation of the symbol.
You can use Decoder utf8Decoder = Encoding.UTF8.GetDecoder();
to work with it or convert to Unicode. But you will not fit it into ASCII
table.

George.

what do mean by not working? it will creates a 1 char string with an

I *reaally* don't understand your question.

When I process Server.HTMLDecode("‘")

...what I get as a result is : '

See the sample at : http://asp.net.do/test/HTMLencode.aspx
It's the LAST label in the list, after %3f ...and the code is :

im txtenc2 as String = Server.HTMLDecode("‘")
lblMessage6.Text = txtenc2

It seems to render OK in that test. What is the problem you're seeing ?

When I write Server.HTMLDecode("‘") output is as follows

Output: (not printable character so no output)
length of string: 1
Ascii value of character using Asc function: 63

Do I need to change any settings anywhere? In my web.config file

Thanks

Can you test with those settings...and post back the result ?
