Hi all, According to Winhost the support for unicode characters are enabled on server level. and I provided the database and tables with ut8 encoding but still when I save kurdish and persian text it appears to be saved as question marks. My application is asp.net mvc 3 web application and uses MySql.data.dll to save data in the database (mysqlCommand.ExecuteScalar() ). have you any idea why text is not being encoded? thanks alot.
Hello, I have the same issue with mySql. When I launched my db backup on my local machine - all work fine, but I can not setup it here. I have the same encoding for db schema and all tables. I use utf8_unicode_ci encoding. My application is on asp.net MVC4. Maybe somebody already decided this problem? Thank you.
I found solution. I should update connection string look like this: <add name="myconnection" connectionString="server=localhost;user id=myuser; password=; database=mydb; pooling=false; charset=utf8;" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/> Found here: http://forums.asp.net/t/1597252.aspx/1
