.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / May 2007MSBUILD and ASCII Copyright
Is there a way to create a copyright symbol as output? I've tried and haven't been able to. <AssemblyInfo CodeLanguage="VB" OutputFile=".\AssemblyInfo.vb" AssemblyTitle="App" AssemblyDescription="App Description" AssemblyCompany="Company Name" AssemblyProduct="App" AssemblyCopyright="Copyright %169 Company Name 2007" ... /> Thanks, Flomo -- > Is there a way to create a copyright symbol as output? > I've tried and haven't been able to. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > ... > /> If it's in an XML file, you need an XML escape: AssemblyCopyright="Copyright © Company Name 2007" I haven't tried that, but I'd expect it to work. (Point of quibbling - there's no ASCII copyright symbol. ASCII doesn't include any characters of Unicode > 127.)

Invalid syntax for a decimal numeric entity reference. I thought the escape character for an MSBuild file was '%', that's why I tried it. It output a hex 16 character for the sequence %169.

Have you tried just inserting the copyright sign directly into the file and saving it in UTF-8?

AssemblyCopyright="Copyright © Company Name 2007" error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Invalid character in the given encoding.

Invalid > character in the given encoding. Did you specify the encoding at the start of the file, and are you sure you saved it *using* that encoding? SignatureJon Skeet - <skeet@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/jon.skeet If replying to the group, please do not mail me too Yes, it was already there. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> However, the MSBuild file itself was encoded ANSI, not UTF-8. When I changed it and re-ran the script, no error! Thanks so much, Jon.

No problem. I'm still intrigued as to what's wrong with using the numeric version though. If I ever get time, I'll have a look - it's unlikely that I *will* get the time though :( SignatureJon Skeet - <skeet@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/jon.skeet If replying to the group, please do not mail me too
