Localization :: Page Can't Display Chinese Characters?
Feb 13, 2011
I spent a couple days to try to find the solutions online. I am developing a web site which needs to display some Chinese characters. In the MasterPage, I put
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> in the <Head>.
In the MasterPage there are are navigation menus which are Chinese character. I have a web page Default.aspx which uses the MasterPage. In Default.aspx I have some <asp:Label>s which are Chinese characters. On the local computer, I can see all of the Chinese characters. But the problem is: after I ftp all of the files to my web server (DiscountAsp.Net), I only can see the Chinese characters in the MasterPage, I can not see the Chinese characters which belongs to the Default.aspx. Instead of Chinese characters, it displayed weird letters.
when I am searching for Title , my search is working properly for English Titles,But it is not working for the remaining languages like chinese,Tamil etc...,
for this I did following Configurations in .aspx page and web.config side.
I have a database that stores Chinese characters. This works fine. The code for this system is written in vbscript ASP. Here is a sample [URL]
I also access this database via ASP.NET but the characters do not come out in Chinese.
See here [URL]
Why does ASP work and ASP.NET not work?
The code to access the Chinese in ASP.NET is similar to:
query = "select * from myTable ....";
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(query, Yart.SQLServerConnections.SqlConnection); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds, "paragraphs"); Response.Write((string)ds.Tables["paragraphs"].Rows[0]["chinese"]);
I am thinking it might be my cast to a string that is destroying the encoding perhaps?
Can anyone tell me the best way of storing Japanese characters through ASP.NET. I have to put characters into a asp:textbox on one page, which saves it to an Access DB. On a second page I want to display the content in a asp:label. Should I store the characters directly to the database or should they be encoded, and how do I encode the characters? In my web.config i have:
We have a requirement wherein we need to translate all dynamic pages(i.e database driven pages) to Chinese language. Does .NET provide any API for this, or there are third-party APIs for the same. Which third-party is best recommended?
Page encoding is set to GB18030 and it displays perfectly. However, when I retrieve inputted text from HttpContext.Current.Request.Form that's been entered with double-byte characters, the retrieved string contains unreadable characters. Single-byte characters are fine, obviously.
I've tried the following to no avail:
byte[] valueBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["fullName"]); string value = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(valueBytes);
I don't see this problem with other double-byte languages like Japanese or Korean. How can I successfully retrieve double-byte characters from a page that's GB18030 encoded?
I have a application that takes a tab delimited text file parses and the inserts the data. Some of the data has international characters.

I am passing this into a sproc. The datatypes for my paramater & DB Field is nVarChar(50). If I insert the data directly into my table or if I call my sproc from a query window and pass in some data it works fine, but when my app touches the data it appears to get messed with.

We have some software that works with a sql database, our customers want to use japanese characters. When they try and use it with our softare and save the characters through a form, the characters get corrupted. They have said that if we change the charater encoding in our database that we can save jap characters. What im workdering is if we do this will it affect the current data and do our forms have to be rewritten to handle these characters?
I am using mySQL. I have separate tables for several languages. When I display the Greek statements I seem to be limited to between 192 and 201 characters. That is not the problem with English, Danish, Dutch, Russian, or Farsi. I am using the same code for each with the only change being which table is opened. (In fact I just took the Dutch code and changed only the name of the table I'm opening to the Greek table and had the same problem.)The problem is that I've also double checked the statements in the table and they are complete, e.g., some have up to 255 characters.
My daabase has lots of german characters stored. While I read it from DB and display it in the gidview, everything is fine.

But while reading it back it gives
We are migrating a ASP application to ASP.Net 2.0 . Old applciation is displaying the Japanese characters perfectly. Its uses ADODB connection and command. ASP.Net uses ODBC to connect. But the characters are not displaying properly in Japanese.Charset used is "shift-JIS".

I use a gridview to display data, but sometimes the data is to big to be displayed in a cell. Can I use a method to allow the gridview to display f.e. the first 100 characters of a string?
I'm making a simple mvc site containing a database over the movies we have at home. When i display my movies i'd like to display "the short version" of the plot, leaving the rest to be read when you actually click on the movie to see more details about it. How can I do this? Do i write some sort of limitation in the string on the index page?
