Getting Alt + 0141 () in results

I built a phonebook app and a backend to for modifying entries. The problem occurs when I attempt to edit an existing entry I get the Alt box character in my listbox for the search, or my textbox for modifying. I've tried different combinations of multiline, singleline.

Thanks!

all fields in database set to nvar(255)

if relative.

I have noticed that the issue is caused by the Find function of the backend application. Upon new entry no issue, find after new insert and then there are all kinds of added spacing characters to the result from database in the single-line textbox. Although multiline textboxes do not show these characters they are still there.

:ehh:

Solved the problem by using regex.replace(string, "[ \t\r\n]", "")

vb Code:

Public Function updatevalue(ByVal value, ByVal txtvalue) As Boolean
        Dim ra As Integer
        Dim thatline As String = txtvalue.text.ToString
        thatline = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(thatline, "[ \t\r\n]", "")
        Dim command = New SqlCommand("Update PhoneNumbers Set " & value & "='" & thatline & "' WHERE LastName = '" & TxtLastName.Text _
                             & "' AND Firstname = '" & TxtFirstName.Text & "'", sqlphonebook.con)
        If sqlphonebook.con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
            sqlphonebook.con.Open()
        End If
        ra = command.ExecuteNonQuery()
        sqlphonebook.con.Close()
    End Function
    Public Function getvalue(ByVal field1, ByVal field2, ByVal put, ByVal sqlput) As Boolean
        'Creating a read of the database
        Dim results As New System.Text.StringBuilder
        Dim thatline1 As String
 
        Dim command1 As New SqlCommand("SELECT rtrim(" & sqlput & ") FROM PhoneNumbers WHERE LastName = '" & field1.Text.ToString & "' AND Firstname = '" & field2.Text.ToString & "'", sqlphonebook.con)
 
 
        'MsgBox(field1.ToString + Environment.NewLine + columnname + Environment.NewLine + put.ToString + Environment.NewLine + sqlput + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + command1.ToString)
        ' AND PerformingDate = (SELECT MAX(PerformingDate) FROM leadlog WHERE LeadTitle = '" & field.Text & "'
 
        If sqlphonebook.con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
            sqlphonebook.con.Open()
        End If
        Dim r As IAsyncResult = command1.BeginExecuteReader
 
        Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command1.EndExecuteReader(r)
        While reader.Read
            For i As Integer = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
                results.Append(reader(i).ToString & vbTab)
            Next
            results.Append(Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine)
        End While
        reader.Close()
        command1.Connection.Close()
        thatline1 = results.ToString
        thatline1 = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(thatline1, "[ \t\r\n]", "")
 
        put.Text = thatline1
    End Function

Obvious error is obvious now...

vb Code:

        If sqlphonebook.con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then
            sqlphonebook.con.Open()
        End If
        ra = command.ExecuteNonQuery()
        sqlphonebook.con.Close()
    End Function

        Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command1.EndExecuteReader(r)
        While reader.Read
            For i As Integer = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
                results.Append(reader(i).ToString [B]& vbTab[/B])
            Next
'---------->results.Append(Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine)
        End While
        reader.Close()
        command1.Connection.Close()
        thatline1 = results.ToString
        thatline1 = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(thatline1, "[ \t\r\n]", "")
