Strange characters displayed in file name - File Download Dialog - IE

I don't know what else to try - In my asp.net app, when the file name has
Windows-1252 characters (like and ), these characters appear, each one,
as two strange characters in the file name label in Internet Explorer File
Download Dialog that is shown when I click a link to download the file. The
file content is being generated on-the-fly using asp.net and the filename is
being passed using a call to Response.AddHeader with the strings
"Content-Disposition" and "attachment; filename=" + filename.

I want the file name to display correctly, as it DOES when I click a link in
a test HTML file that points to a "real" file stored in the system.

I tried setting Response.ContentEncoding but all my atempts were
unsuccessful.
I have also searched the net, specially google groups for an answer but I
couldn't find.

Thank you in advance,

Daniel CardosoAfer trying a little bit more, I decided to analyze the HTTP response
generated by the server in response to a request to download the file. I
then realized that the special characters were being wrongly represented and
sent to the client. I had to use Server.UrlEncode to encode the file name
appropriately, in addition to setting Response.ContentEncoding, so that the
special symbols were correctly sent to the browser. The problem is now
solved.

Daniel Cardoso

Are you including charset="UTF-8" in your html headers? Might be the
browser not interpreting the encoding correctly, so if you set it
explicitly it could work (alternatively, ISO-88591 should also be a
suitable encoding for Danish).

Hi Tobes, that is an interesting detail. Can you give an example of where i
need to write this?
I'm using a master page.
Thanks
JJ
I tried the following :
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-88591"/>
</head>
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>

Strange Image Problem

I have created a master page and inserted a couple images. When I look at them in design view the appear as a box with an x in it which is not correct. When I view the page in the browser it displays the image. What is the problem?

Here is the master page code:

<%@dotnet.itags.org. Master Language="VB" %
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
<script runat="server"
</script
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<center>
<img src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=Images/delilogo.jpg" runat="server"/><br /> <img src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=Images/topmenu.jpg" runat="server"/>
<asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:contentplaceholder></center>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

The designer in VS is no good. I would rely on your source and forget the designer most of the time. But if you really want the images to appear in the designer, try draging and dropping your images from VS Solution Explorer onto the designer surface.

Hope this helps.

Hinzamorski ,

try the following:

<asp:ImageID="Image1"runat="server"ImageUrl="~/im.JPG"/>

Hi nzamorski,

I'm sure this should work as well as the asp:Image control.

<img src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=Images/delilogo.jpg" runat="server"/>

First, where is your website project located? Is it IIS project or File System project? Please double check the folder structure if the relative path to Images/delilogo.jpg is right. When the website is located in IIS server, the relatvie path to the image in a virtual directory or a web application might be different.

I agree with the guys above, you can drag and drop the image if you are not certain of the path to the image. But first make sure the Images folder is in the root folder of the project. Thus you will find the folder is appearing in the Solution Explorer window of Visual Studio. Pick up the image and drag & drop it into the Design View will be simpler.

Hope it helps.
