Dear(s)

I somehow stuck. Pleaes help me in this regard.

I am trying to incorporte Arabic language support in my application. I have done the following.

1. Took Textbox with Arial Unicode MS Font and Arabic charset.
2. At backend I change my field to NVARCHAR to hold unicode.

Alls went well execpt, When i took input in arabic from user, the textbox gives me this ÚÇãÑ ÑÔíÏ after taking input. I ll try to convert it into string but fail.

And in SQL Server the Insert statement saves the same it get from textbox not the arabic text.

Please help me in this regard

The VB.NET IDE is available for free, as is the runtime. I strongly suggest you switch your platform. VB6 is no longer actively supported.

To make the decision easier; this is a problem with text-encodings. VB.NET would convert it to UTF and be done with it - no more "weird characters".

Dear Brother

Thanks very much for your reply, but I am working on an ERP having 7 fully functional modules, I cannot switch over right now the platform. Please help me.

Let me tell you this junk is displaying correct value in text box or crystal repots having font supports arabic charset. But at the time of saving in (Insert statement) textbox.text gives me this junk, How can I play with them.

Thanks in advance

There's nothing to play with. First, VB6 was know to have bad support for Right-to-Left text.

But, the textbox will display any text it's given, provided the font being used supports the appropriate characters. It'll look like junk if the font doesn't support it. So, where exactly are you seeing this "junk"?

Like I said, it's a dead language. If you want to use it, you'll be doing a lot of archeology.
