What is the best way to verify/test that a text string is serialized to a byte array with a certain encoding? In my case, I want to verify that an XML structure is serialized to a byte array with the UTF-8 encoding which is of variable character length.

Hi! Inside an asp.net page, shoul I use <html><title>My page's title from México</title></html> Or <html><title>My page's title from México</title></html> Both examples have same output.

Is there any easy/general way to clean an XML based data source prior to using it in an XmlReader so that I can gracefully consume XML data that is non-conformant to the hexadecimal character restrictions placed on XML? Note: The solution needs to handle XML data sources that use character encodings other than UTF-8, e.g. by specifyi...
In Ruby 1.8 and earlier, Foo is a constant (a Class, a Module, or another constant). Whereas foo is a variable. The key difference is as follows: module Foo bar = 7 BAZ = 8 end Foo::BAZ # => 8 Foo::bar # NoMethodError: undefined method 'bar' for Foo:Module That's all well and good, but Ruby 1.9 allows UTF-8 source code. ...

A few months back I was tasked with implementing a unique and random code for our web application. The code would have to be user friendly and as small as possible, but still be essentially random (so users couldn't easily predict the next code in the sequence). It ended up generating values that looked something like this: Af3nT5Xf2 ...

I have a JUnit test that tests adding Strings to a Dictionary custom type. Everything works fine for everyone else on a Linux/Windows machine, however, being the first dev in my shop on a mac, this unit test fails for me. The offending lines are where unicode string literals are used: dict.add( "Su字/会意pin", "Su字/会意pin" ); dict...
I have 28,000 images I need to convert into a movie.

Argghh. I have a site that offers audio previews of songs hosted elsewhere. Some file names have an ampersand in them - see below where it passes "soundFile." Anytime there's an ampersand, Flash can't get the file - I think it drops the filename after the ampersand. It doesn't matter if I pass it as an "&" or an HTML entity ("& a m p ;")...
