I have developed an application and need to allow users to enter text in any language and save it to my database. However the text is saved as '?' in my database. I have googled quite a bit and found that people have suggested not to use varchar, text types but use nvarchar and ntext etc in your database. I have gone through and made these changes to my database. However it still saved text as '?', I then found people where saying about adding 'N' infront of the text prior to saving into the database. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do this in a stored procedure.
Stored Procedure
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spUpdateActionTaken] @ID as varChar(4),@action as text,@modifyDate as varchar(50)
AS
UPDATE commentsTbl SET commActionTaken=@action,modifyDate=@modifyDate WHERE [ID]=@ID
Note: Fields commActionTaken set to nText
VB.Net Code
Code:
Dim actionTaken as String = Me.textBox.Text
Dim myCmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("spUpdateActionTaken")
myCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

I made a batch script using VB.NET which deletes shortcut on my desktop. The problem is that shortcut title contains unicode characters so batch doesn't work. However if I remove that unicode character from the shortcut and batch script it does delete the shortcut. How can I make it delete the shortcut w/o removing that unicode character?
tempstring = "@echo off"
tempstring = tempstring & vbCrLf & "del " & Chr(34) & My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "My shortcut™ 1.lnk" & Chr(34)
tempstring = tempstring & vbCrLf & "del %0"

View 4 RepliesHow do I Extract all Characters in Unicode, UFT8,iso-8859-1 to 9 etc to a list or array In VB?I have a SQL Database of which contains values from 51 languages.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to convert text inputed in a text box to unicode. I need to the program to process each letter and return "the letter = the unicode" in the label.
For example, if the user enters "apple" the lable would read: a=65 p=80 p=80 l=76 e=69
I know the AscW command will return the Unicode Integer but I only know how to do the conversion for single letters
The code below only processes the first letter and only returns the code, not "the letter = the code"
Private Sub btnCode_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCode.Click
Dim strWord As String = Me.txtWord.Text

Trying to develop a text editor, I've got two textboxes, and a button below each one.When the button below textbox1 is pressed, it is supposed to convert the Unicode text (intended to be Japanese) to Shift-JIS.The reason why I am doing this is because the software VOCALOID2 only allows ANSI and Shift-JIS encoding text to be pasted into the lyrics system. Users of the application normally have their keyboard set to change to Japanese already, but it types in Unicode.How can I convert Unicode text to Shift-JIS when SJIS isn't available in the System.Text.Encoding types?

View 3 RepliesMy application is in VB.Net and I'm using the driver of IBM Client Access to access data on our IBM iSeries server.
The problem is that some characters are not translated automatically in CCSID 65535 (i.e. the € character) and the update/insert command fails.
I don't know on which level the problem must be handled. On the ODBC driver ? In the connection string ? Or do we have to create a conversion dll ?
