Renaming a document with a £ symbol

Version 9 SDK

Hi all,

Using the SDK I am trying to rename documents and get an "Invalid Request" error when trying to rename a document if the new name has a £ in the name.

In the Laserfiche client I can rename a document using a £.

anyone know why?

Do I need to escape the £ and if so what escape character do I use?

I also get the error with the < > \ symbols.

Using 9.2 and RA

I can reproduce the problem, it seems to be an issue with the System.Uri class that RA is using internally. If i switch my sample project from .net4.5 to .net4, i can rename with the £ character. We will look into fixing this for a future release.

That explains why I was unable to reproduce it. I was only testing with .Net 4.0

Andrew - I also thought you might have to escape the '£' character or use the Chr(156) but this code below works in a Workflow SDK script activity so I assume it will work in an SDK app;

            Dim docInfo as DocumentInfo = Me.BoundEntryInfo
            
            docInfo.Lock(LockType.Exclusive)
            docInfo.RenameTo("This document will sell for £100")
            docInfo.Unlock

Note: I used the ALT+156 (Numeric keypad) to insert the '£' symbol in the string

Thanks Cliff,

Unfortunately that did not work.

I tried inserting the unicode value for the £ and converting the string to ascii £ became ?

Can you post a snippet of the code you are using to rename the document?
