[Solved] Filename in ZipPackageEntry not Contains german umlauts

[TIMEOS GmbH und Co KG]

Hi,

i got a question using the ZipLibrary.

We got a .zip file with about 20 files zipped.

Some of the filenames contains german umlauts like ä,ö,ü ....

Now, when using the ziplibrary the filenames which got german umlauts are incorrect.

Here is the function to get the files.

Dim fname As String = System.IO.Path.Combine(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("GlobalUploadPath"), Filename)
            Dim fs As New FileStream(fname, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)

            Try

                Using package = ZipPackage.Open(fs)

                    Dim allEntries As List(Of ZipPackageEntry) = package.ZipPackageEntries
                    For Each entry As ZipPackageEntry In allEntries
                        Dim filename As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(entry.FileNameInZip.ToLower)

                  -->> wrong filenames in entry.FileNameInZip

                        If tableList.Contains(filename) Then
               ' Reading the Data
                        End If

                    Next

                End Using

Any hint's ?

thank you

Hello TaponiaSoftware,

I have tried to replicate the issue on my side, but without success. Attached you can find the sample project I used for local testing. Please give it a try and let me know whether I miss something.

Hm... i think it´s a kind of localization problem...
See attached screenshot of my function (with same zip package of your example project).

btw:
is there a chance to disable the spellchecker in thread edit window??
Because it wants to check german and if i write english i have to correct each single word.

Hello TaponiaSoftware,

I also suspect that it is some kind of localization issue related to VS encoding settings. You can verify that by inspecting the name of the file after it is saved on the disk.

Another option is to just try to save the umlaute literal into a string variable. If in debug mode the string variable value displays the same as in your image then it would be clear that RadZipLibrary is not involved in the problem.

As to the spell checker - I think you are talking about the browser spell checker that is automatically turned on for some browsers. In FF for example, you can disable it from the context menu as demonstrated in the attached image.

I hope this helps.
