How to create an HTML replacement string that has multiple quotes inside of it? [modified] - C# Discussion Boards

I think I'm getting real CP pages, however how can one be sure?

I just checked and searched, and found 4 messages and 7 questions, created this month and containing "urgentz" (outside this thread that is).

The youngest ones are http://www.codeproject.com/Script/Forums/view.aspx?msg=3747875[^] and http://www.codeproject.com/Script/Articles/Article.aspx?aid=150529[^].

And I admit I hadn't seen any of them as I normally don't read Q&A stuff and I read a smaller fraction of the forums than I used to read in the past.

if you read the article you should know by now. If it still fails, you should compare what you have with what I offered, and if that doesn't help, you might post the relevant part of your code here.

wooooooooooooow it's working now Smile | :)

thx a lot Luc for everything Big Grin | :-D

take care...

Good observation Luc. Moreover the OP is responding to the replies. Not like "fire and forget" way.

I searched and found this post, but if I understand this correctly it will not work in my situation

How can I set a long string with multiple quotes inside of it to a single string variable? I want to hard code this so I can do a string replace. Thanks for reading!

An example would be

string htmltoreplace1 = @"<img src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" class="ms-hidden" border=0 width=1 height=1 alt="Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window)."></A><IMG SRC="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" ALT="" BORDER=0><IMG SRC="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=""></TD><TD style="position:absolute;"><IMG src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" width=13px style="visibility: hidden" alt="">"

or

string htmltoreplace2 = @"	<TABLE width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0><SCRIPT>
ctx = new ContextInfo();
ctx.listBaseType = 0;
ctx.listTemplate = 100;
ctx.listName = "{5B7B0FEE-FE98-4066-A4FB-F48DF04D4EBA}";
ctx.view = "{79DA2D89-70D6-4497-90D9-DDE74040EF88}";
ctx.listUrlDir = "\u002fdcs\u002fotso\u002fDSUSF\u002fISSBR\u002fdeddDIB\u002fws\u002fLists";

ctx3 = ctx;

use the backslash:

string str = "This is a string with \"quotes\" in it";

the other option is to "double up" the quotes and use the @ modifier

string str2 = @"This is a string with ""quotes"" in it";

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

It is possible that I have misunderstood you, but this does seem a little simple:
If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is include the double quote characters in your string:

string s = @"1""2""3";

would create a string containing 5 characters:
'1'
'"'
'2'
'"'
'3'
So would:

string s = "1\"2\"3";

Take your pick!
If the string is quite large and unwieldy, and you want to include the newlines as well, you could make it more readable by moving the text to a file, and including it in your resources.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

It did seem simple until I tried to do it Smile | :)

Some of the strings are very very long, so I will have to move it to another file I guess.

Thank you both for your replies.

Hi,
I would like to implemnet a process that will initial on every form on my application on form InitializeComponent...

My thought is to some how customize the Form class and inherite the new class as my Form
i.e. "public class Form1 : MyCustomizedForm"

But I don't wont to recreate to whole Form class, I only whant to implement a process on it's loading after all controls were added. But I need it to take place in every form on my application.

Any ideas?

tnx

So, all you want to do is have something like this:

C#

public class MyCustomizedForm : Form
{
  public MyCustomizedForm() : base()
  {
    // Do some process here. InitializeComponent will already have
    // been called by the base constructor.
  }
}

I think your talking about creating a class that inherits from system.windows.forms.form. Then in each of your form's designer's change the inheriting from system.windows.forms.form to this new class. Put code in the new class and each form gets that code?

if not -> need clarification with what your trying to do.

Guys,
I have implementing small academic project can any one let me know some of the Free SMS API's. so that i can use them in my project... please i am trying to do some thing realistic and its a big challenge for me... Thanks in Advance..

As an academic you need to learn the value of doing your own research[^].

Don't post in multiple places, all that happens is you annoy people, duplicate effort, and waste time.
It can reduce your chances of getting an answer...

Ok, so here is the problem. I got native dll which contains and utilizes my own class for building dynamic string arrays. Here is a simple example how it works in C(++):

wchar_t **GetArray()
{
	ArrayBuilder *arrb = new ArrayBuilder();
	arrb->Append(L"test1");
	arrb->Append(L"test2");
	arrb->Append(L"test3");
	return arrb->GetArray();
}

wchar_t **myarray = GetArray();
wprintf(L"Element1: %s, element2: %s and element3: %s\r\n", myarray[0], myarray[1], myarray[2]);

Assuming that i am exporting this small test function "GetArray" from dll:

extern "C" { __declspec(dllexport)wchar_t **GetArray() }

How can i get this string array in my C# app? I have tried something like:

[DllImport("db.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern List<String> GetArray();

or

public static extern String[] GetArray();

or

public static extern Array GetArray();

Nothing works. It throws that it "cannot marshal return value: Generic types cannot be marshaled", or, in case of last approach, some HRESULT error. So in fact i have missed something, but what? What is the right way to call this function in C# app?
Thanks

Alright, i got it.

[DllImport("db.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern IntPtr GetArray();

IntPtr test = dbFunc.GetArray();
StringBuilder zzz = new StringBuilder();
int i = 0;
for (; ; )
{
        IntPtr p = new IntPtr(test.ToInt32() + Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(IntPtr)) * i++);
        IntPtr stuff = Marshal.ReadIntPtr(p);
        if (stuff == IntPtr.Zero) break;
        string s1 = Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(stuff);
        zzz.Append(s1 + ",");
}
MessageBox.Show(zzz.Remove(zzz.Length - 1, 1).ToString());

What should I use as a rule of thumb for being able to tell when it's time to break a large class into two?

I know that a class should have only one responsibility, but sometimes it's hard to tell.

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

That's the question of the ages! I don't really have a good answer for you. One criteria is if the methods / fields / properties seem unrelated then group the related ones into separate classes.

Thanks. Does that imply that if they are closely related, then it doesn't matter how big the class gets?

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

not necessarily, you just need to use a more refined meaning of "closely related"
