Hi All,

I am not able to display characters like Ö, Å , é in my web application deployed in IIS7 using Visual studio 2010. It is displayed as �.

The same code when deployed in a different web server displays correctly. The only difference I found in the 2 web servers is that the web server which displays it incorrectly has .net Framework 4 as well as 4.5 installed in it, while the other web server has only .net Framework 4 installed in it.

Is there some language pack or any other software that needs to be installed in the Web server to rectify this. The web server I'm using is Windows 2008 R2.

Can someone please help me with this as I am not able to find the reason for this difference.

I find one more difference when i compared the applications deployed in the two web servers. When I viewed the source code, the values are extracted from the database are showing deviation.
Its reading as � from the database.

I am not able to get if it is a DB issue or a web server settings issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Alex... I've already implemented this. I think this is some IIS configuration issue, since the same code works well in one web server, while it shows this error in the other.

Thanks :)
