XmlConvert.DecodeName(String) Method

Definition

Decodes a name. This method does the reverse of the EncodeName(String) and EncodeLocalName(String) methods.

public:
 static System::String ^ DecodeName(System::String ^ name);
public static string DecodeName (string name);
public static string? DecodeName (string? name);
static member DecodeName : string -> string
Public Shared Function DecodeName (name As String) As String

Parameters

name
String

The name to be transformed.

Returns

The decoded name.

Examples

The following example encodes and decodes names.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.XML.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
int main()
{
   
   // Encode and decode a name with spaces.
   String^ name1 = XmlConvert::EncodeName( "Order Detail" );
   Console::WriteLine( "Encoded name: {0}", name1 );
   Console::WriteLine( "Decoded name: {0}", XmlConvert::DecodeName( name1 ) );
   
   // Encode and decode a local name.
   String^ name2 = XmlConvert::EncodeLocalName( "a:book" );
   Console::WriteLine( "Encoded local name: {0}", name2 );
   Console::WriteLine( "Decoded local name: {0}", XmlConvert::DecodeName( name2 ) );
}
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample
{

  public static void Main()
  {

     // Encode and decode a name with spaces.
     string name1 = XmlConvert.EncodeName("Order Detail");
     Console.WriteLine("Encoded name: " + name1);
     Console.WriteLine("Decoded name: " + XmlConvert.DecodeName(name1));

     // Encode and decode a local name.
     string name2 = XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName("a:book");
     Console.WriteLine("Encoded local name: " + name2);
     Console.WriteLine("Decoded local name: " + XmlConvert.DecodeName(name2));
  }
}
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

public class Sample

  public shared sub Main()

     ' Encode and decode a name with spaces.
     Dim name1 as string = XmlConvert.EncodeName("Order Detail")
     Console.WriteLine("Encoded name: " + name1)
     Console.WriteLine("Decoded name: " + XmlConvert.DecodeName(name1))

     ' Encode and decode a local name.
     Dim name2 as string= XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName("a:book")
     Console.WriteLine("Encoded local name: " + name2)
     Console.WriteLine("Decoded local name: " + XmlConvert.DecodeName(name2))

  end sub
end class

Remarks

The names are decoded using the following rules:

  • Names are decoded from left to right.

  • Any sequence _xHHHH_ (where HHHH stands for a valid, four-digit hexadecimal UCS-2 code) that has not been decoded is transformed into the corresponding Unicode 2.1 (Unicode 3.0 if supported by the application) character.

  • No shortforms are recognized. They are passed on without translation. For example, _x20_ or __ are not decoded.

Note

The actual encoding of the character is application-specific. For example, Order_x0020_Details becomes Order Details. Even escaped characters that are invalid in XML names will be recognized and decoded.
