I have a couple of questions about URLs.
I have an app which will allow me to access my music collection if I can
access the internet.
It shows a list of Artists / Genres / Search etc which produces a GridView
list of songs each with a "Play" button. All the code works and I can play
most of the songs with no problem. It is songs with "special" characters in
the filename that cause problems. A single quote in the filename or a "\"
are examples. I am using Javascript to play the songs from a WMP embedded
object.
I used code to escape those two characters and then those files worked. Now
any files with the char "&" don't work. I tried the
System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode function but that worked worse than my
string.replace hack mentioned above. Any ideas how to resolve that in the
Dot.Net way??
Also I have a Virtual Directory pointing to my MP3 collection. I want to do
a replace on the URL created above to reference the files from the virtual
directory. I am not sure how to do that and if I do I need a method of
testing. Since I am on Vista and cannot get IIS 7 and VS 2005 Pro to talk
to each other I need a method to determine whether to do the virtual
directory replace on the URL when it is accessed thru IIS and not do it when
I am testing in the VS 2005 environment. Any ideas?
Thanks
