Hi,

I am trying to read data from an Oracle Database using ASP.NET and C#.
The data is text in many different languages
(like Japanese, Russian etc.). The encoding is UTF-8.
Using "old" ASP everything works fine, but when using ASP.NET it seems
to try to read the data as unicode and screws it all up.

Is there a possibility to access the data in binary form, before it gets
screwed up? Or can I tell the system not to do anything to the data
in the DataSet?

I've tried all possible modifications in the config.web file and I don't
have an Oracle driver that supports unicode. I've also tried the
UTF8Encoding and the UnicodeEncoding classes...nothing works, because
the Data is screwed up before I can get a hand on it.

Thanks,

Anski

Sorry to say, but this question is better asked in aspngdata - you try
to make it look like your problem is related to ASP.NET, but it's an
ADO.NET data access problem.

I would be very interested in the answer, too, but this is the wrong
mailing list, and Charles cares a lot about this.
